Serving Caregivers and Those They Love
Conveniently located in Columbus, Mississippi, Beautiful Life Adult Day Center serves the entire Golden Triangle. We offer a wide range of therapeutic activities and social services to help participants maintain their independence and avoid or delay institutional placement in a nursing home or assisted living home.
Beautiful Life specializes in serving both caregivers and those they love. Both seniors and young adults with special needs are able to maintain a sense of independence while interacting with others.
Benefits of Beautiful Life Adult Day Center
Caregivers
- Gives relief to caregivers.
- Allows caregivers to work knowing their loved ones are safe and attended to.
With the average in-home sitter agencies charging $16 per hour, BLADC is a much more cost effective alternative with rates of $48 per day or $30 per half day. Other payment options are Medicaid, VA, and most Private Insurance with Long Term Care as part of its policy. Independent research indicates that Adult Day Services are approximately ½ the cost of Assisted living or Home Health and ¼ the cost of Nursing Home Care. (See Genworth’s comparison of costs for Mississippi and across the nation.)
Participants
- Alternative to spending time home alone
- Engaging — clients are encouraged to step outside of their comfort zone to stimulate cognitive and physical activity. Even clients that do not directly participate in activities are still benefited from just being an observer.
- Social interaction that you don’t get from an in-home sitter
- Being stimulated in a social environment has been proven to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s and Dementia

How the Idea for Beautiful Life Started
While living in Texas, Jennifer was working a fulltime job as a Nurse and was taking on a full time class load as a student pursuing her educational requirements to become a Nurse Practitioner. This left very little time for her to take care of her elderly parents which moved in with her.
Her father was suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and her mother was too feeble to care for him alone. Jennifer found help from an Adult Day Center. Jennifer was now able to remain enrolled in college and pay the bills all while knowing that Mom and Dad were safe and enjoying themselves. The Center was able to give her father the assistance he required and her mom attended because she enjoyed the socialization and fun activities.
As time passed, Jennifer would often volunteer at the Center where she noticed how not only her parents, but all the clients truly enjoyed attending. Jennifer experienced firsthand the help received by caregivers and the enjoyment her parents and other clients experienced from attending. Because of this, she developed the dream of one day owning her own Adult Day Center where she would be able to give back to other families the same level of love, help, and care that she had once received.
After marrying Eddie in 2003, they relocate to Columbus, MS in 2005. Once in Columbus, they noticed there were no adult day centers in the area so they decided to open one. The opportunity to open presented itself in 2007 and Beautiful Life Adult Day Center went from a dream to a reality.
