The town itself
Flowood: the medical corridor, and streets built mostly since 2000.
Flowood is small, about 10,000 people at the 2020 Census, and young; Census Bureau estimates put roughly one in seven residents at 65 or older. The housing is new, much of it built since 2000, like Byram's, and there are more apartments and rentals here than in Brandon or Pearl, many of them near Lakeland Drive.

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 help is reminders only, not administration. Medical care at home is not ours to give; we will point you to a provider who can.

My mother lives in an apartment off Lakeland Drive. Does that matter?
No. Apartment or house, the care is the same. The free visit happens wherever she lives, and the caregiver learns the building and the routine.

Yes. Merit Health River Oaks is about 5 minutes from the center of Flowood and St. Dominic about 10 minutes west on Lakeland Drive. The caregiver drives, waits through the appointment and brings him home.

Not from us, and we will say so. Private pay and long-term care insurance only; we do not bill Medicaid or Medicare. For a Medicaid family, the Elderly and Disabled Waiver and the Area Agency on Aging in Pearl are the right doors.
