The Blake at Township in Ridgeland, MS

5.0
The Blake at Township community was great, and we picked this community because our loved one had a Chihuahua and they allowed pets there. That was a really big plus.

Brookdale Meridian

3.1
My mom is diabetic and we pay extra for that. The nurses need educating on how to treat when blood sugar is low. The food is usually too spicy and too much pepper. The combination of food choices per meal doesn't go well together. Food portions are skimpy.
