Two kinds of assisted living in Jackson
Both are licensed by Mississippi as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Mississippi words these licenses as “Personal Care Home - Assisted Living” (7), “Personal Care Home - Residential Living” (4).
