At Hickory Senior Living, you’ll find a cozy, Southern community that offers physical support and a welcoming and active environment for your loved one.

About the Community

Dogwood New Albany is a personal care home, which provides our residents with assistance with their activities of daily living (ADL’s). ADL’s include, but are not limited to, assistance with bathing, dressing, housekeeping, medication assistance, and laundry services. 

Our individual care plans allow Dogwood to custom tailor a plan to meet each of the unique needs of our residents. Some residents require little or no assistance with certain ADL’s, but may require full assistance with others. In addition, these needs most likely will change over time. Our all-inclusive rates allow families to not worry about additional costs fluctuating daily based on the care the resident needs.

At Dogwood New Albany we offer a comfortable and homelike setting that makes leaving home feel like coming home. Our southern-style New Albany personal care community creates a peaceful and secure environment perfect for enjoying a walk around our beautifully landscaped grounds or relaxing in one of our rocking chairs on the large open porches.

Residents are encouraged to personalize their apartment by bringing in their own furnishings and décor that create a home away from home. Family members of residents have stated they found peace of mind with Dogwood New Albany beginning with the first stroll though our home. Dogwood New Albany prepares three healthy and delicious home-cooked meals each day with a wide variety of entrees to meet everyone’s taste buds.

Our staff is available 24 hours a day to provide any assistance with activities of daily living our residents require. Our reputation for personal care has set the standard for others to follow. We strive to continue that same reputation with every new resident who comes to our community. Dogwood New Albany has truly become a name people can trust.

If you or your loved one needs personal care, but does not require skilled nursing care, then consider Dogwood New Albany, a Hickory Senior Living residence, Mississippi’s Premier Senior Living Communities.
