SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – FALL 2022-WINTER 2023 I am excited to bring you the Fall 20232022-Winteredition of the Seniors Blue Book for Southern Mississippi. For 22 years, The Seniors Blue Book has been the most comprehensive resource directory for seniors, their families, caregivers, and professionals who refer services to seniors. I have some huge shoes to fill, as Thad Anderson started the book 22 years ago. Mississippi has always been my home, so I will continue to provide the very best resources and information to our communities! The information is presented in an easy-to-use format. On the edge of each page, you will see our color-coded chapters: Resources are in Blue, Health at Home is in Purple, and Housing is in Green. There are several articles in this edition – check out a full list in the Table of Contents.

Many of us were familiar with “day care” when our kids were pre-school age, and we needed the kids to be cared for while we were at work. Well, what about having mom or dad living with us when they shouldn’t be left alone at home all day. Not only would it be boring, but it may be medically unadvisable. We have choices of in-home care such as a Home Care and Personal Assistance agency (pages # - #), or away-from-home care in an Adult Day Care (ADC) facility (page #)
Adult Day Care or In-Home Care: Your Choice
–
The available level of care varies among agencies and ADC facilities, so be sure your loved one’s needs will be met when selecting care. Inhome care with a care giver affords certain “comforts of home” that may be benefi cial, yet an ADC offers interaction with other seniors and activities not available at home. Both have advantages; we have had families tell us that they use both options, with in-home care on the first two days of the work week, and ADC the other three days. Whichever you choose, be sure it’s providing an enriching, satisfying experience for your loved one. ~
