Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 42nd out of 110 homes in Mississippi. 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.
| 40m per day | ▲ 5% 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 21m per day | ▲ 23% 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 5m per day | ▼ 16% 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 16m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 28m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 17, 2025, found the facility to be in compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and state licensure requirements, with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident safety measures such as oxygen cautionary signage, medication storage and labeling, and providing alternative meal choices of equal nutritive value. Complaint investigations over time were mostly unsubstantiated, though some substantiated cases involved issues like infection control lapses, verbal abuse by staff, elopement risks, and neglect related to bowel care, with Immediate Jeopardy findings that were later resolved after corrective actions. Enforcement actions included citations and fines related to these issues, but no license suspensions or revocations were listed in the available reports. The trend indicates recent improvement, with the facility addressing prior deficiencies and achieving compliance in the latest inspections.
