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.
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.

This home is ranked 76th out of 110 homes in Mississippi for nurse hours. 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 34% 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.
| 58m per day | ▼ 12% 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 19m per day | ▼ 7% 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 1m per day | ▼ 14% 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 | ▼ 50% 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.
| 8m per day | ▼ 64% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
