The town itself
What we know about caring for a parent in Clinton.
Clinton is a college town that has been settled a long time. Mississippi College, founded in 1826, is the oldest college in the state, and Olde Towne sits beside it, with red brick streets laid in 1929 and small shops. Bungalows and Craftsman houses fill the blocks near Olde Towne. Most of the city, though, is subdivisions a few miles out, much of it built in the seventies and eighties. That means parents who have owned the same home for decades. Keeping them there is usually the whole point.
There is no hospital inside Clinton. The closest emergency room is Merit Health Central on Chadwick Drive in south Jackson, about 15 minutes away. Baptist, St. Dominic and UMMC are each about 20 minutes. For everyday visits there are clinics on Clinton Parkway. Once your parent stops driving, those trips into Jackson are the ones a caregiver takes over.
The city runs its Living Young program (opens in new tab) for adults 50 and up at the A.E. Wood Activity and Therapeutic Center on Clinton Boulevard. Clinton Community Christian Corporation, the 4Cs, runs senior nutrition, home-delivered meals and transportation. We are not them, and we are not the hospital. We are the person in the house.
