Overview of Gulfport Care Center

Gulfport Care Center on Canal Road in Harrison County serves as a hub for nursing, memory, and hospice care. It is a 90-bed facility managed by Gulfport Healthcare, LLC, with Jeff Williams as administrator. Since the surrounding area has a Walk Score of 9, do not expect to walk anywhere; you will definitely need a car for visits or outings.

The facility’s data tells a clear story: with 82% occupancy and an average stay of 83 days, the center is designed primarily for post-acute recovery rather than long-term, indefinite placement. Rooms are available in private or semi-private configurations. On a typical day, residents receive about 4 hours and 40 minutes of nursing care, with 28 minutes of that time coming directly from a registered nurse.

There is a gym and hydrotherapy spa for rehabilitation, and the staff coordinates transportation for medical appointments. Having memory and hospice care integrated into the building is a practical design choice, as it prevents the need for disruptive transfers if a resident’s needs become more complex over time.

Beyond the clinical side, the facility includes landscaped gardens, a beauty salon, and a barbershop. The dining room serves dietitian-approved meals. Daily life is structured around a resident council, community outings, religious services, and a pet-friendly policy.

State inspections tend to highlight administrative processes like medication management, infection control, and resident rights, rather than direct physical care issues.

Because the center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, it functions as a flexible solution for families navigating the transition from medical rehab to specialized long-term support.

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.
