Arrington Living Center

Arrington Living Center is a locally rooted skilled nursing facility serving the seniors and families of Collins and Covington County, Mississippi. Located at 902 Gerald McRaney Street, Arrington is operated by local city and county government — a distinction that reflects deep civic investment in the health and dignity of the community's older adults. Government-operated facilities of this kind are guided by a mission of public service, prioritizing accessible, compassionate care for the residents they serve rather than profit-driven outcomes. Collins is the charming county seat of Covington County, a community defined by its Southern hospitality and tight-knit neighborhoods. Seniors in Collins enjoy the slower, more deliberate pace of small-town Mississippi life, with a genuine sense of belonging that larger metropolitan areas rarely offer. The town's historic downtown area along Highway 49 provides local dining and retail, and the community gathers regularly at Covington County civic events and local churches that have been pillars of life here for generations. For medical care, Covington County Hospital, located right in Collins, serves as the primary acute care facility for the region. This close proximity means that Arrington Living Center residents can be transferred quickly for hospital-level care when needed, and that many of the same physicians who practice at the hospital maintain relationships with local skilled nursing facilities. For more specialized care, the cities of Hattiesburg and Laurel are within reasonable driving distance, offering access to Forrest General Hospital and South Central Regional Medical Center respectively. Arrington Living Center's skilled nursing team provides 24-hour nursing care, post-acute rehabilitation services, and long-term care support tailored to each resident's needs. As a facility accountable to the public it serves, Arrington stands as a community institution — a place where Collins area families have trusted their loved ones to receive professional care with a deeply personal touch for years.
