The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with roughly three-quarters of current residents covered by Medicaid, a profile oriented toward long-term skilled nursing care in Scott County.
CMS rates the facility 3 stars, 17.2 percent above Mississippi average. The health inspection sub-rating drives that position; staffing and quality measures run modestly below state average.

On-site staffing includes a nurse aide training program, and the facility maintains active resident and family councils. At 93.8 percent occupancy, ranked 20th out of 115 Mississippi skilled nursing facilities, the community operates with limited availability and sustained local demand.
The resident mix, with 75 percent on Medicaid and an average stay of roughly 11 months for the Medicaid population, fits residents seeking long-term skilled nursing placement in rural Scott County.
