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.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +18% above state avg

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.	28m per day	▼ 25% 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 18m per day	▲ 18% 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 10m per day	▼ 12% 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 9m per day	▼ 11% 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	▼ 29% 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.	9m per day	▼ 59% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
