Ocean Springs Health and Rehabilitation Center is a 115-bed nursing home at 1199 Ocean Springs Road, Ocean Springs, Jackson County, Mississippi. Michael Albert owns the facility. LLC James T. Williams administers.
CMS-certified, accepts Medicare and Medicaid. CMS CCN 255142. Privately-owned. 1-star overall rating.
The 1-star rating reflects severe structural deficiencies despite paradoxical quality measure excellence. Health Inspection: 2 stars, 29.3% below state average. Staffing: 1 star, 69.4% below state average. Quality Measures: 5 stars, 38.2% above state average.
This contradiction demands explanation: facilities with 1-star staffing and 2-star health inspections do not typically achieve 5-star quality outcomes.
Staffing is critically depleted. Total nursing hours: 1 hour 19 minutes per resident per day; 70% below state average (4 hours 20 minutes) and far below the 3.5-hour national red-flag threshold. This represents approximately one-third of state norms and one-fifth of adequately staffed facilities. Weekend nursing: 1 hour 1 minute (71% below state average).
Staff-to-resident ratio: 1.23:1 (27% worse than state average). RN count 10, LPN count 22, CNA count 54 across 115 beds, indicating single-digit RN coverage for an entire large facility. Payroll 39% of revenue is low for adequately staffed nursing homes (typical 55-65%), confirming systematic understaffing.
Inspection record is troubling. Five inspections in four years yielded 29 citations (71% above state average of 16.9), 5.8 per inspection (51% above state average). Two critical citations (100% worse than state). Deficiency themes: Resident Rights (7), Quality of Life & Care (7), Administration (4), Abuse/Neglect (3), Infection Control (2).
September 2025 inspection identified dignity violations, inadequate care assistance, privacy failures, food safety breaches, and infection control deficiencies. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse prevention failures, emergency response gaps, and supervision inadequacies, including a resident elopement with immediate jeopardy designation.
Quality measures show exceptional long-stay outcomes: Pressure ulcers 87% below state average, UTI rates 87% better, functional decline 25% better. Short-stay outcomes mixed: vaccine rates above average, but antipsychotic increase 27% worse than state. Depressive symptoms 314% worse than state average.
The extreme contradiction between 1-star staffing and 5-star quality outcomes is difficult to reconcile. Either outcome reporting is inflated, or exceptional care management is somehow occurring despite severely inadequate staffing. Both scenarios warrant scrutiny.
Financial metrics show profitability: $725.3K profit (5.7% margin), occupancy 85.8% (above state average), 4 penalties in 3 years ($38K total). Occupancy has recovered from 72% (2022) to 85.8%, suggesting increased census despite compliance challenges.
Families evaluating Ocean Springs should understand that 1-star staffing with 1 hour 19 minutes per resident per day and 2-star health inspection performance directly contradicts 5-star quality outcomes. The contradiction itself raises questions about data reliability and care consistency.
Direct inquiry should address: staffing model justification for 1 hour 19 minutes nursing hours; care protocols sustaining quality outcomes despite minimal RN presence; audit processes validating quality measure reporting; details of September 2025 inspection findings and elopement incident; corrective action status; explanation of depressive symptoms 314% worse than state; and specific metrics supporting 5-star quality rating.
Families should request detailed explanation of how quality outcomes are being achieved with 70% below-average nursing hours. Tour and independently verify.
