Overview of Brandon Court

Owned by Jaquisa Dawson, Brandon Court operates as a 50-bed skilled nursing community located on Burnham Road in Brandon, Mississippi. The front office manages accounts through multiple standard insurance channels, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. For individuals checking out the property, the surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent with a walkability score of 20 out of 100, meaning visiting relatives will generally need a personal vehicle to run quick errands or reach the campus.

Operational metrics show that residents stay at the facility for an average of 100 days, pointing to a daily workload centered around short-term post-acute therapy tracks rather than traditional multi-year placements. To maintain medical supervision across all shifts, the 24-hour clinical rotation logs an average of 4 hours and 6 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day. This shared workload involves registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nurse aides who handle physical checks and medication tracking.

Government records from public health agencies compile the property’s regulatory inspection history. The documented archive files show that the administrative team runs its everyday nursing operations and clinical charting within state guidelines, keeping the home’s long-term cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.

Older adults have access to private or semi-private rooms, a therapy gym, hydrotherapy spa spaces, and landscaped grounds. The dining room serves meals prepared fresh under the supervision of a certified dietitian to match standard health restrictions.

Overview of Trend Health & Rehab of Brookhaven

Trend Health & Rehab of Brookhaven is a privately run, 60-bed facility that accommodates a mix of short-term recovery and extended skilled nursing care. While short-term rehab clients make up the vast majority (86%) of incoming admissions, the property also serves a long-term census, pushing the total average length of stay to 356 days. The home coordinates coverage across Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay plans. Recent financial logs note some budget tightening, with the building posting a $349.2 thousand operating loss in 2023 following a profitable stretch the year prior, while local utilization remains steady at an 80% occupancy rate.

Looking at official state healthcare logs, daily front-line staffing levels run ahead of regional baselines, though clinical tracking files show clear resident safety vulnerabilities. Direct nursing time averages 4 hours and 40 minutes per resident each day, outpacing the Mississippi state average by 8%.

On the compliance side, regulators have documented 17 total citations across four separate inspection cycles since 2019, including an October 2024 review that flagged moderate, subsequently resolved points involving care plan timelines, nutrition, infection control, and resident rights. The home’s long-term enforcement footprint is minimal, showing no recent admission freezes and a solitary $3,000 fine on record. Despite the solid daily nursing hours, clinical charts display high incident rates, noting that major injury falls track significantly above state benchmarks for both long-stay and short-stay populations, alongside elevated rates for urinary tract infections.

Prospective residents evaluating regional post-acute rehab or long-term nursing care can look over these public tracking summaries to examine the provider’s operational baseline. Since the state paperwork documents solid overall daily nurse coverage and a low historical fine count alongside notable physical safety risks and higher-than-average fall rates, the documentation outlines a high-staffed property facing clear clinical care challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Mississippi

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Mississippi?

Assisted living in Mississippi is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Mississippi Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Mississippi Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 131 nursing homes in Mississippi. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Mississippi?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Mississippi, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Mississippi?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
