Discover a Welcoming Senior Living Community
in Ocean Springs

The Gardens is a premier assisted living community along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It’s a community you’ll be proud to call home. Here, you can center yourself and focus on living the good life, and we will take care of the rest. We offer world-class personal care for seniors with a small-town feel, and many of the comforts of home.

We do everything we can to help maintain senior independence while giving just the amount of care needed. At The Gardens, you can enjoy your favorite activities as hobbies again. Connect with nature in our lush raised gardening beds and leave the weeding and maintenance behind. Or meet some new friends by joining a card game, attending movie night, or participate in a fitness class. We have so many choices! For folks who need a little more assistance, we also lend a hand getting dressed in the morning or sorting out medications. Making life simple and enjoyable again is our pleasure.

One Month Free, No Community Fee!*

The general manager at The Gardens in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

Meet Jody Ellis Stoddard,
General Manager

As a native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Jody realized at a young age that she wanted to spend her life caring for others. Jody obtained a Bachelor’s in Therapeutic Recreation from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from William Carey College. In 2002 she began her nursing career at Methodist Hospital in Houston, TX; then found her way back home after just a few years away. She worked for Merit in the hospital and surgery center then home health for a few years before settling here at The Gardens in March of 2014. When Jody is away from the community, she is occupied by her two children: Clayton and Ava Marie. She enjoys the beautiful Gulf of Mexico through sailing, fishing, or sitting on the beach at Horn & Ship Island.
