Quick answer
Do you serve Richland, MS?
Yes, all of it. Exceptional Touch, a family-run home care agency in downtown Jackson, serves Richland, MS. Richland is in Rankin County, about 15 minutes from our downtown office by US 49. We provide non-medical in-home care there: personal care, companionship, meals, housekeeping, errands and rides, respite, 24-hour care and dementia care. We are paid privately or by long-term care insurance, not by Medicaid or Medicare.
The town itself
Richland: a small town on Highway 49 with a free senior center.
About 7,000 people lived in Richland at the 2020 Census, and Census Bureau estimates put roughly one in six residents at 65 or older, about the same share as Brandon. The city only incorporated in 1974 and grew up around a rural crossroads on the highway. US 49 is the main road, with I-20 just north of town, and the streets off it are modest, mostly owner-occupied houses from the nineties or a little before.
There is no hospital in Richland. From the center of town, St. Dominic and Mississippi Baptist Medical Center are each about 15 minutes, and Merit Health River Oaks in Flowood about 15 to 20. If your dad has given up driving, a caregiver can do it for him.
The Richland Senior Center (opens in new tab) on Scarbrough Street in Richland Square is open Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, to anyone 55 and over, at no cost and with no residency rule. If your dad likes it there, a caregiver can get him there and back. Westside Park and Eastside Park, with its community center, are the places for a slow walk. Families asking about Medicaid can read up on the state's Elderly and Disabled Waiver (opens in new tab).

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 means reminders only, not administration. If your father needs medical care at home, we will say so and point you to a provider.
