Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
New residents most often arrive under Medicare (38% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 2 - 3 months.
Managed by operator Amy Hood, Attala County Nursing Center is a 120-bed skilled nursing community located on Highway 12 West in Kosciusko, Mississippi. The administrative office accepts multiple standard insurance setups, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding area has a walkability score of 55 out of 100, indicating a moderately pedestrian-friendly layout where family members can handle a few basic errands on foot, though a vehicle remains practical for most local trips.
Statistical records highlight an average length of stay of around 421 days, demonstrating an operational emphasis on permanent residential care alongside traditional post-hospital therapy tracks. To handle routine daily medical and personal care needs, the 24-hour staffing framework provides an average of 4 hours of total nursing care per resident each day. This clinical time includes 25 minutes from registered nurses and 2 hours and 19 minutes from nurse aides, with licensed practical nurses balancing the remaining daily shifts.
Oversight files document the facility’s recurring regulatory compliance reviews. State inspection records indicate that the administration handles its daily charting and nursing operations within local licensing guidelines, which keeps the home’s long-term cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.
Families have access to private or semi-private accommodations equipped with building-wide Wi-Fi, cable television hookups, and landscaped outdoor gardens. The campus features a dedicated rehabilitation gym and hydrotherapy spa rooms, with an on-site beauty salon and barbershop to handle personal grooming. Daily living centers on personalized physical recovery loops and dietitian-approved meals, with scheduled religious services, community excursions, room cleaning, and laundry assistance, completing the weekly routine.
