Pine Meadows An Emeritus Alzheimer's Special Care Center Contact Information: Heather Jones - Activities Director 601-271-8480 107 Fox Chase Hattiesburg MS, 39402 Description: In 1993, Emeritus began offering an alternative to seniors who could no longer live at home, yet did not require full-time skilled nursing home care. Our primary goal is to provide the support residents need to live full and satisfying lives, while helping them maintain their independence and dignity.
Each of our communities operates like a family-owned business. This
gives our staff the flexibility to customize independent living
programs and assisted living services to reflect residents’ needs and
interests. (emeritus.com,edited) At Pine Meadow, the Alzheimer's Care
Program is designed to support residents with Alzheimer's disease and
related dementia. (Pine Meadow). Volunteer Opportunities: Students
can volunteer at Pine Meadow in various ways, acting as receptionists,
doing one-on-one activities with the residents, or helping with group
activities (like birthday parties, movie nights, etc.). The most
impacting thing students can be a part of here is simply having contact
with the residents (talking to them, holding their hand), some of whom
don't get much of that anymore for a variety of reasons. Requirements: There is an application, background check, and TB test. Special Notes: |
