Our History
In the 1970’s, Mike McElroy began his career in long-term care with the purchase of one nursing home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. His career turned into a passion for serving his residents with personal, patient centered care, treating each resident as family. With that kind of service in mind, Bedford Care Centers has evolved into one of the largest locally owned groups of skilled nursing facilities in the state with the mission to honor the story of each of our residents, nurture the individual spirit, and provide care for a lifetime.
Throughout the years, Bedford Care Centers has grown from one facility to eight skilled-nursing centers. In addition to growing our size, our service areas have grown as well. Our related companies include; and institutional pharmacy, staffing relief through
HMP Nursing Services, Inc. and private-duty care to seniors through Bedford at Home. We are a Mississippi-based, family-owned group of companies built on strong values – Respect, Honesty, Dependability, Caring and Compassion. We continuously strive to further our commitment of care and service to our residents, their families, our staff, and the community at large.
