Oak Grove Retirement Home is a 60-bed nursing home in Duncan, Bolivar County, Mississippi. Glynn B. Standifer administers. CMS-certified, privately-owned.
Accepts Medicaid only; no Medicare or private pay.
Overall rating 1 star (60.9% below state). Health Inspection 2 stars (29.3% below). Staffing 2 stars (38.8% below). Quality Measures 1 star (53.9% below); consistent underperformance across every category.
Staffing is compromised. Total nursing hours: 3 hours 38 minutes per resident per day (16% below state average, ranked 87th of 100 MS facilities). RN critically low at 20 minutes per day (47% below state average); a single RN cannot provide meaningful clinical oversight to 60-bed facility. LPN 55 minutes (17% below state).
CNA 1 hour 52 minutes (25% below state). Weekend nursing 2 hours 55 minutes (17% below state). Only metric exceeding state average: RN weekend hours 24 minutes (9% above), a minor exception that does not offset systematic understaffing elsewhere.
Quality outcomes are troubling. Long-stay hospitalizations 2.88 per 1,000 days (18% worse than state average 2.44). ED visits 3.74 per 1,000 days (30% worse than state average 2.88). Substantially elevated rates in both metrics suggest inadequate preventive care, delayed condition recognition, or management gaps.
These outcome patterns are consistent with understaffing.
Walk score 15 (car-dependent).
Programs listed: Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care Services, Palliative and Hospice Stays, Rehab-to-Home Program. No detail on therapy credentials, program scope, eligibility criteria, or staffing model. Hospice program mentioned without staffing or qualifications detail.
Medicaid-only acceptance is significant: the facility is restricted to Medicaid residents, a population often more vulnerable and less able to pay out-of-pocket for care gaps. Combined with RN staffing 47% below state and quality outcomes substantially worse than state average, this creates a concerning care profile.
Families evaluating Oak Grove face substantial transparency gaps and poor performance signals. The facility does not disclose: complete street address, occupancy rate, inspection history, financial data, detailed staffing model, owner/operator information, or explanation of quality outcome disparities. CMS ratings show 1-star overall and 1-star quality measures. RN staffing 20 minutes per day is inadequate.
Hospitalization rate 18% worse than state; ED visits 30% worse than state.
Families should request: complete address; inspection records; occupancy; financial statements; detailed staffing model; explanation of hospitalization and ED rates; and Medicaid-only protocols. Request a tour.
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.
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.
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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 47% 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.
| 55m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 1h 52m per day | ▼ 25% 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.
| 2h 55m per day | ▼ 17% 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.
| 24m per day | ▲ 9% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
