Jones Co Rest Home

Jones Co Rest Home has served the residents of Jones County for generations, providing dedicated skilled nursing care from its location on County Home Road in Ellisville, Mississippi. As a government-operated facility managed by Jones County, this rest home stands as a pillar of community-supported elder care, offering residents and families the assurance that their neighbors and local officials are directly invested in the quality of care provided. Ellisville sits at the heart of Jones County in the piney woods of South Mississippi, just minutes from the larger city of Laurel along US-11 and Interstate 59. Families visiting residents will find Ellisville a welcoming small town with easy access to the full range of amenities Laurel offers — including Walmart Supercenter, Chick-fil-A, Cracker Barrel, and a variety of local restaurants along Sawmill Road and Highway 15. The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art and the historic downtown Laurel corridor, made famous by HGTV's "Home Town," are just a short drive away and make for meaningful family outings. For medical needs, Laurel Regional Medical Center (now operating as Ochsner Health — Jones) on Jefferson Street provides comprehensive hospital services less than 15 minutes from the facility, ensuring residents have access to advanced care when needed. Jones County Junior College, located directly in Ellisville, adds a vibrant educational presence to the community and often hosts senior-friendly events and programs throughout the year. The surrounding landscape of longleaf pines, the nearby Longleaf Trace multi-use trail, and the scenic Leaf River give the area a peaceful, nature-rich character that many seniors find deeply restorative. Families can enjoy walks along these natural corridors during visits. As a county-run institution, Jones Co Rest Home operates with a public accountability and community mission that sets it apart. Staff are drawn from the local area and bring a genuine sense of neighborhood commitment to every interaction. Skilled nursing services include around-the-clock licensed nursing supervision, rehabilitative therapies, and individualized care planning designed to honor each resident's dignity and personal goals.
