How many licensed assisted living communities are there near Hernando, MS?
The directory on this page lists every Assisted Care Living Facility the Tennessee Health Facilities Commission licenses in Shelby, Tipton and Fayette Counties and every Personal Care Home the Mississippi State Department of Health licenses in DeSoto and Marshall Counties, sorted by distance from Hernando, MS.
Which communities near Hernando, MS have memory care?
Communities marked Memory care report secured beds to Tennessee, or hold a licensed Alzheimer's and dementia care unit in Mississippi. A secured unit is a locked or alarmed area for residents who may wander. Ask each community how many secured beds are open now.
What is the difference between a care home and assisted living?
People use care home loosely for any residential setting. In Tennessee, an Assisted Care Living Facility is licensed to help with daily activities and medications; a residential home for the aged offers room, board and supervision only; a nursing home provides 24-hour skilled nursing.
How do I know whether my parent needs assisted living or memory care?
If your parent needs help with bathing, dressing or medications but is safe on their own, assisted living usually fits. If they wander, get lost, or cannot be left alone safely because of dementia, a secured memory care unit is the safer choice.
Does Medicare pay for assisted living near Hernando, MS?
No. Medicare does not pay for long-term custodial care in assisted living. It can cover a short skilled-nursing stay after a qualifying hospital stay. Tennessee residents may qualify for help with care costs through TennCare CHOICES.
How quickly can a parent move in after a hospital stay?
Some communities can assess and admit within a few days if a room is open and the paperwork is ready. Have the discharge summary, medication list, physician orders and a TB screening ready to speed it up.
Is this guide free for families in Hernando, MS?
Yes. Families never pay us. Senior living communities pay us a referral fee or a flat fee when they accept a family we introduce, and some buy sponsored placements, which are labelled.
How do I check a community's inspection history?
Use the licence number in the directory to look the community up with the Tennessee Health Facilities Commission, which publishes licensure and survey information. Ask the community for its most recent survey and how any deficiencies were corrected.
What should I bring to a tour near Hernando, MS?
Bring your parent's medication list, a short note on what help they need each day, and your budget range. Use the 40 questions checklist in our guides so every tour is compared the same way.
Can my parent keep their own doctor after moving?
Usually yes. Most assisted living residents keep their own physician, though some communities have visiting doctors or nurse practitioners. Ask how appointments and transport are handled.
Are DeSoto County and West Memphis communities included?
DeSoto County, Mississippi communities are included from the Mississippi State Department of Health directory. Arkansas licenses assisted living through its own agency and is not yet listed, so families in Crittenden County see the nearest Tennessee and Mississippi communities.

Choosing memory care near Hernando
Largest secured units nearby: Apple Grove Alzheimer's and Dementia Residence (49 secured beds, 19.3 miles); StoryPoint Germantown (42 secured beds, 21.0 miles); Southbreeze Assisted Living (32 secured beds, 20.1 miles). A larger unit is more likely to have an opening, but ask how many residents share each staff member on the night shift.
Memory care is usually a wing: at The Pointe at Kirby Gate, 22 of its 60 licensed beds are secured. If your parent starts in assisted living there, ask whether a move into the secured unit later needs a new assessment and a new contract.
In Mississippi: 2 communities listed here are Personal Care Homes with a licensed Alzheimer's/Dementia Care Unit. The state directory does not publish the size of the unit, so ask each one how many secured beds it has.
When it is time: a diagnosis alone is not the trigger; wandering, getting lost or not being safe alone is. How to tell when it is time, and how the care assessment sets the level.
Ask on the tour: how the unit is secured, how many staff are on the unit at night, what dementia training they have, and what behaviour would make the community ask your parent to leave. The full list is in the 40 tour questions.
Paying for it: no public source publishes a reliable Hernando-only price for memory care. Ask each community for an all-in monthly figure at your parent's assessed care level and read what the monthly rate includes. If money may run out, ask whether it accepts Mississippi Medicaid waiver residents (when the money runs out).
Nearest major hospital with a page here: Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto, about 10.1 miles away (communities near it).
