Landmark of Collins is a 60-bed nursing home at 1315 South Fir Street, Collins, Covington County, Mississippi. Robert Aaron Collins administers. CMS-certified; accepts Medicare and Medicaid. Walk score 49.
Staffing is near state average with expected weekend reduction. RN 36 minutes per day (5% below state), LPN 1 hour 2 minutes (6% below), CNA 2 hours 21 minutes (5% below), weekend total 3 hours 13 minutes (9% below). The only notable gap is RN weekend coverage at 16 minutes, 27% below state average. Physical therapy is minimal at 1 minute per day.
Overall, staffing is adequate on weekdays with slightly compressed clinical presence on weekends.
Quality outcomes show a telling pattern. Long-stay ED visits are elevated at 4.06 per 1,000 days, 41% worse than state average. This suggests either more acute conditions entering the facility, or delayed intervention on developing complications. Short-stay ED visits are worse: 20.7% experienced emergency visits, 35% worse than state.
Short-stay re-hospitalization is 31%, 11% worse than state. These three metrics cluster together: short-stay residents experience more emergencies and readmissions than typical for Mississippi facilities.
On the positive side, discharge outcomes are strong. Ability to care for self at discharge: 70.2%, 31% above state average. Return to home: 53.2%, 5% above state. Falls with major injury: 0.7%, better than state.
This pattern of strong rehabilitation outcomes but high ED utilization raises a question: residents may be returning home safely and functionally, but their hospital course while at the facility is more complicated than typical.
Care model emphasizes short-term rehabilitation with stated focus on recovery. Programs listed as Short-term Rehab only. Amenities and activity scheduling not detailed.
Landmark of Collins maintains adequate baseline staffing with a specific vulnerability: weekend RN coverage is markedly reduced (27% below state). The clinical picture is mixed: strong rehabilitation discharge outcomes but notably elevated ED utilization in both long-stay (41% worse) and short-stay (35% worse) populations. This combination suggests either selective admission of higher-acuity residents with good discharge potential, or gaps in preventive care management that drive emergency visits.
Families should ask directly: Why are ED visit rates 41% worse than state for long-stay and 35% worse for short-stay? What protocols address acute condition recognition given reduced weekend RN coverage? Request CMS ratings; inspection records for the past three years; explanation of the ED visit spike and re-hospitalization patterns; detailed staffing model and weekend protocols; current occupancy and census trends; financial statements and operational stability; and quality improvement initiatives.
Families should request a tour and, if possible, speak with current residents about their experience with emergency response and off-hours access to clinical staff.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 31m per day | ▼ 19% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 3m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 1h 6m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 26m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 29m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 16m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 1m per day | ▼ 31% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 13m per day | ▼ 39% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

Based on CMS SNF Cost Report for fiscal year ending in 12/2023.
Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Rank #72 / 112Payroll — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 72nd out of 112 homes in Mississippi for Payroll. Shows total annual staff payroll benchmarked to the Mississippi average.

Payroll as a share of revenue: staff salaries and wage-related benefits divided by net patient revenue. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay.
