Highland has been serving the greater Jackson area for over 40 years and has experienced continued success in this challenging care specialty.  Highland employs licensed nurses and a licensed social worker with many years of experience.  Around the clock direct care is provided by superb, well trained and loving staff; which is Highland’s biggest asset.  We are staffed to accommodate persons with dementia who are also in need of 24 hour care and supervision.  Examples of care provided, but not limited to, include: behavior management, toileting, bathing, dressing, medication management, assistance with bed mobility, feeding and restorative mobility.  Highland’s staff is uniquely trained in promoting the highest level of independence in the least restrictive homelike setting for persons with dementia.
