Assisted Living in Hattiesburg, Mississippi
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Emeritus at Forrest Park — and throughout Emeritus senior living communities — has shared since 2000, when The Loyalton first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on ten acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor patio, Emeritus at Forrest Park is the most established premier senior living community in Hattiesburg, which has been designated as "Certified Retirement Community." Located just two miles from the Hwy 59/Hwy 49 interchange, our community offers 83 apartments on two floors. Here, we offer the best of all worlds:
-
Retirement Living:
Enjoy the active retirement lifestyle of upscale independent living, where everything — yard work, housekeeping, meal preparation, even transportation — is taken care of for you. Just wake up and go! -
Assisted Living:
Should you need a helping hand from our warm and caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services, tailor-made to your needs. We've designed our services to focus on wellness, helping you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, library and TV room area — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer an outstanding activities program, including Friday lunch dates at neighborhood restaurants. Emeritus at Forrest Park is in a residential area on a tree-lined cul-de-sac, right in the heart of Hattiesburg, just five miles to Turtle Creek Mall and near many banks and stores, including Wal-Mart and Stein-Mart, as well as the University of Southern Mississippi. Emeritus at Pine Meadow, a dedicated Emeritus Alzheimer's community, is located right next door if ever needed.
In addition, our community is in the hub of the medical community, close to Forrest General Hospital, Hattiesburg Clinic, Wesley Medical Center and a nursing home rehabilitation facility. In addition, Hattiesburg is called the "Hub City," because it is equidistant from Mobile, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico.
