CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Bedford Care Center of Mendenhall is a 60-bed skilled nursing facility at 925 West Mangum Avenue, Mendenhall, Simpson County, MS, administered by Robert Martin under ownership by Bedford Health Properties, LLC. The facility is highly rated for compliance and operational management, with a 5-star overall CMS rating reflecting strong health inspection (5 stars, 95% above state average) and staffing performance (5 stars, 77% above state average). Across three inspections since 2021, the facility accumulated only 6 deficiencies (87% fewer than the state average of 45), with zero critical and zero serious violations. Five moderate citations covered oxygen therapy management, food storage and labeling, infection control, care planning, and quality of care measures, all marked corrected.
A November 2025 complaint investigation found a CNA had removed a resident’s cellphone without permission, violating resident rights. One substantiated staff misconduct case resulted in termination and facility retraining. The facility received a $22,000 penalty and 13-day Medicare and Medicaid payment denial in December 2023.
Staffing exceeds state benchmarks on several metrics. Total nursing hours per resident per day stand at 5 hours 25 minutes (25% above state average of 4 hours 20 minutes), ranking the facility 14th of 100 in Mississippi. Weekend total nursing is 3 hours 46 minutes (7% above state average), with weekend RN coverage at 25 minutes (14% above state average of 22 minutes), indicating maintained clinical coverage outside regular business hours. Registered nurse hours at 35 minutes per resident per day run 8% below state average, as do LPN (1 hour 2 minutes, 6% below) and CNA hours (2 hours 14 minutes, 10% below).
Physical therapist availability is minimal at 1 minute per day (50% below state average). Occupancy is robust at 94% (12% above state average), and the facility is ranked 17th of 101 for occupancy statewide, signaling strong local demand. Average length of stay is 146 days, reflecting the facility’s emphasis on short-term rehabilitation for Medicare beneficiaries (53% of admissions) and private pay residents (42%).
Long-stay quality outcomes reveal significant gaps. Hospitalization rates at 4.27 per 1,000 days (75% worse than state average 2.44) and emergency department visits at 5.42 per 1,000 days (88% worse than state average 2.88) suggest either higher-acuity admissions or challenges in preventive care management. Walking ability declined in 47.1% of long-stay residents (92% worse than state average), and incontinence among low-risk residents affected 32% (49% worse than state average). Depressive symptoms were documented in 14.6% of long-stay residents (841% worse than the state average of 1.5%), and 39.3% received antipsychotic medications (85% worse than state average of 21.2%), indicating systematic reliance on psychiatric medication that warrants clinical review.
Preventive care strengths include pneumococcal and influenza vaccination rates at 100%, pressure ulcer rates at 3.4% (52% better than state), and urinary tract infection rates at 1.1% (56% better than state).
Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes are mixed. Re-hospitalization occurred in 35.6% of post-SNF residents (28% worse than state average 27.9%), and successful return to home or community was 39.3% (22% worse than state average 50.6%), suggesting that functional discharge planning or post-acute care coordination may need strengthening. Emergency department utilization in short-stay was 23% (50% worse than state average 15.3%). However, short-stay medication stewardship is notably strong: zero residents newly started on antipsychotic medications (100% better than state average 2.5%), and influenza vaccination was 100% (18% better than state average 84.6%).
Financially, the facility operates on a razor-thin 0.2% profit margin ($17K on $8.7M revenue), with payroll at 43.5% of revenue, ranked 88th of 101 facilities and substantially below the healthy 55-65% range. This compressed margin and low payroll percentage relative to revenue suggest either organizational efficiency or potential understaffing pressure. Staff-to-resident ratio is strong at 2.69:1 (59% better than state average), though 26% of total staffing hours derive from contract labor.
The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with average length of stay of 146 days dominated by short-term rehabilitation stays. Walk score of 40 places the facility in somewhat walkable territory, with most trips requiring transportation.
Given the high antipsychotic use rate and depressive symptom prevalence in long-stay residents, clarification on psychiatric medication review processes and non-pharmacological behavioral management approaches is warranted before placement.
Families considering Bedford should ask directly about current protocols for infection prevention, resident belongings protection, and staff training frequency on these topics.
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 52nd 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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 8% 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 2m per day | ▼ 6% 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 14m per day | ▼ 10% 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 38m per day | ▲ 4% 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.
| 25m per day | ▲ 14% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
