This home is ranked 86th 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 32% 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.
| 50m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 1h 5m 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 10m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 2h 29m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 1m per day | ▼ 14% 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.
| 19m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
The facility offers semi-private rooms and in-room televisions.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 1, 2025, found the facility to be in compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and state licensure requirements, with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed a mixed history, including a significant annual survey in August 2025 that cited deficiencies related to staffing, residents’ rights, activities of daily living (ADL) care, food safety, infection control, medication management, and grievance resolution. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated issue with the use of unnecessary psychotropic medications and a prior substantiated Immediate Jeopardy related to resident elopement and verbal abuse, both of which were corrected promptly. Enforcement actions included termination of responsible staff and removal of Immediate Jeopardy status after corrective measures; fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have improved recently, with follow-up surveys confirming compliance after earlier deficiencies.
