Quick answer
Do you serve Brandon, MS?
Yes. Exceptional Touch, a family-run home care agency in downtown Jackson, serves Brandon, MS. Brandon is in Rankin County, and we provide non-medical in-home care there: personal care, companionship, meals, light housekeeping, rides, respite, 24-hour care and dementia care. From our office downtown the drive is about 20 minutes. We take private pay and long-term care insurance, and we do not bill Medicaid or Medicare.
The town itself
A county seat with a square, a hospital and a senior center of its own.
About 25,000 people lived in Brandon at the 2020 Census, and Census Bureau estimates put roughly one in six residents at 65 or older, a higher share than Pearl, Madison or Ridgeland. Most of the housing is owner-occupied, much of it in subdivisions built in the nineties and after: Crossgates, laid out off Highway 80 on what used to be a dairy farm, and Castlewoods, which straddles the line with Flowood. Downtown is the old square on Government Street, with the county courthouse at its center.
Families here already know Merit Health Rankin on Crossgates Boulevard, the hospital inside the city, about 5 minutes from the square. When your dad has a follow-up there, the caregiver drives him, waits and brings him home. We do not provide medical care; the point is the ride.
The City of Brandon Senior Center (opens in new tab) in the Municipal Complex on Highway 80 is open to adults 55 and over, with line dancing, bingo, Tai Chi and a gentle joints class. A caregiver can get her there and back, and Shiloh Park in the city center is close by for a slow walk. If Medicaid is the question, the state's Elderly and Disabled Waiver (opens in new tab) is the place to read first.

Non-medical care. Home Health is the legal name of the company, but we are not a home health agency and our caregivers do not give medical treatment. Medication support is reminders only, not administration. If your dad needs medical care at home, we will say so and point you to the right provider.

“Karmisha's sensitivity and understanding of my mother's needs, especially as she navigated the complexities of dementia, were nothing short of extraordinary. She treated my mom with the utmost dignity, patience, and love. If you are looking for a caregiver who will treat your loved one like family, Karmisha is the person you need.”
