Overview of Sunshine Health Care
Managed by administrator David Horn, Sunshine Health Care, Inc. runs a 60-bed skilled nursing home on Highway 9 North in Pontotoc, Mississippi. The administrative office accepts multiple insurance setups, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding area has a walkability score of 46 out of 100, indicating a car-dependent layout where family members will generally need a vehicle to run errands or travel to the property.
Stays at this facility average about 189 days, which splits the daily operational focus between temporary post-hospital therapy tracks and long-term residential placements. To handle routine daily medical and personal care needs, the 24-hour staffing framework provides an average of 7 hours and 33 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides distribute this time across daily shifts to maintain clinical oversight.
Oversight files from public health departments document the facility’s recurring regulatory compliance reviews. Regular inspection records indicate that the administration handles its daily charting and nursing operations within local licensing guidelines, which keeps the home’s long-term cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.
Prospective residents can select between private or semi-private room setups that include building-wide Wi-Fi access. The campus features an on-site beauty shop and barber services to minimize the need for outside appointments, while the clinical staff coordinates connections to specialized medical providers when outside care is required. Daily living centers on personalized rehabilitation loops and freshly prepared meals, with open visiting windows that let family members check in at their convenience.
Quality ratings
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.

Standout metric
Nurse Aide is +107% 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.
| 57m per day | ▲ 50% 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 0m per day | ▼ 9% 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.
| 5h 9m per day | ▲ 107% 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.
| 4h 23m per day | ▲ 25% 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 | ▼ 50% 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.
| 25m per day | ▲ 14% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
