WORRY-FREE LIFESTYLE IN RIDGELAND, MS

Life at The Orchard

Comfortable surroundings envelop you immediately at The Orchard,
where every amenity and service contribute to a worry-free lifestyle in Ridgeland, MS
— all just minutes away from Jackson and the state’s largest concentration of retail and medical facilities.

Transitional decor carries the spirit of home and well-appointed apartments in the independent and licensed assisted living wings. With their 9-foot ceilings, luxurious carpet and walk-in closets, apartments here turn into a nest of contentment, once you and your treasured belongings move. Many apartments have a patio or balcony space, too, ripe for fresh-air enjoyment or container-garden pleasures. Lush courtyards, accented by fountains eminate soothing sounds and make a lovely retreat. Your ideal blend of privacy and company is possible here, from meal time and socials, to down time and the peaceful settings that dot the facilities and campus.

Those in need of a higher level of personal care find welcome support, exceptional service and skilled nursing in the private or semi-private rooms of The Arbor, our nursing home facility with its cheery sunroom and patio. The Rose Garden is our beautiful, spacious, residential memory care community. It is a licensed Alzheimer’s community and offers a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for seniors experiencing memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease, and dementia. The Rose Garden offers large private and semi-private rooms with multiple gathering spaces and a central courtyard, while our experienced and attentive staff provide compassionate, person-centered care to all of our residents. Respite care is also available to seniors who need a temporary stay. 

In this continuing care retirement community, your individual needs are met and assistance is right at hand, at every stage.
