For the most current information, exact addresses, and operating hours, I'd recommend:

1. Contacting the Southern Mississippi Planning and Development District (SMPDD), which serves as the Area Agency on Aging for the Gulf Coast region

2. Calling Mississippi's Aging and Adult Services Division

3. Reaching out to your local county Department of Human Services office

Many senior centers may have updated their services or locations since my last knowledge update, so it's best to verify current information through these official channels.
