Founded in 2001, Dogwood Fulton has been proudly serving the senior citizens of Itawamba County and the surrounding area for over a decade. Our southern-style architecture creates a homelike setting that makes leaving home feel like coming home. Dogwood features a peaceful and secure environment perfect for enjoying a walk around our beautifully landscaped grounds or relaxing in our rocking chairs on one of our large open porches.
Dogwood Fulton offers Private and Semi-Private Suites with a private handicap accessible bathroom and closet space. Each Suite includes individually climate controlled heating and air conditioning units; grab bars, smoke alarms and emergency call lights. Families are encouraged to decorate the suites with existing furniture and personal belongings to provide a home away from home atmosphere.
At Dogwood, residential suites are equipped with their own thermostat and units have plenty of space for a small in-room sitting / TV-viewing area. Families are encouraged to decorate residents’ rooms with their existing furniture and décor as well as other personal belongings.
We have several common areas perfect for lounging with residents or visitors, including porches with patio furniture and rocking chairs. The services included in a resident’s monthly fee are 3 delicious balanced meals, medication management and housekeeping. We have a licensed dietician who carefully crafts menus based on the season and in accordance to the resident’s specific dietary needs. If for some reason a resident does not find interest in the meal for the day, our dietary staff is willing to prepare an alternative for them upon request.
In addition to our medication management service, our nursing staff monitors blood pressure, heart rates and blood sugars. Our nursing staff also assists with ordering and refilling their medications through RediMeds Pharmacy on McCullough Boulevard, as well as arranging doctor appointments. Our two Tupelo facilities offer transportation to and from the doctor for the resident’s convenience and security.
In addition to the daily services provided, we offer a comprehensive social calendar with daily activities to stimulate both their body and mind. If there is ever an activity a resident would not like to be included on, we offer a wide variety of playing cards, board games and lots of movies to choose from. Each of our facilities also has a licensed beautician on site for all the residents’ salon services.
Dogwood Fulton is also pleased to provide onsite physical therapy services through Performance Rehab for our residents. Keeping fit is an important key to good health and wellness. This service provides residents convenient access to certified physical and occupational therapist as well as speech if needed. Performance Rehab host a weekly fitness class at each of our facilities to improve physical, mental and social health.
Nutritious meals, medication management, housekeeping and personal assistance are just a few of the many services we offer at our Fulton assisted living community. Additionally, our professional staff is on duty 24 hours a day to assist residents whenever needed.
At Dogwood we’ve set the standard for assisted living care for seniors in North Mississippi and Northwest Alabama. Dogwood has earned a reputation for being a name people can trust. What families like most about Dogwood is the staff’s true appreciation for seniors who value and wish to retain their sense of independence as long as possible.
If you or your loved one needs personal care, but does not require skilled nursing care, then consider Dogwood Fulton, a Hickory Senior Living residence, Mississippi’s Premier Assisted Living Communities.
