Overview of Tishomingo Community Living Center

Tishomingo Community Living Center is a 73-bed skilled nursing facility at 1410 West Quitman Street in Iuka, Tishomingo County, Mississippi, administered by Kimberly Amerson and privately owned.

The critical issue dominating this facility’s record is a June 2023 resident death resulting from medication management failure. A newly admitted diabetic resident’s physician-ordered insulin dose was omitted from the medical record; no baseline diabetes care plan was prepared within 24 hours of admission. Five days later, the resident transferred to an emergency room with a blood sugar of 764 mg/dL and died of diabetic ketoacidosis. This Immediate Jeopardy finding prompted corrective action, but the incident resulted in a $180,000 civil penalty in June 2023 and shapes the facility’s regulatory standing.

Deficiency patterns persist. The June 2023 health inspection identified 16 deficiencies concentrated in care planning, medication management, and resident rights. August 2024 yielded 7 deficiencies. December 2025 brought 8 deficiencies on the health inspection and 5 more on a concurrent complaint investigation, with additional Immediate Jeopardy citations.

In three years, two health inspections and two complaint investigations produced 46 combined deficiencies. Citation severity runs high: 5 critical citations (Mississippi averages 1 per facility), 11 moderate citations. The facility cites at 8.0 per inspection versus the state benchmark of 3.83. Mississippi averaged 16.9 total citations and 3.83 per inspection statewide during this same period; Tishomingo doubled the per-inspection rate.

Staffing and quality measures underperform state standards across multiple dimensions. Total nursing care delivers 3 hours 48 minutes per resident per day against the state average of 4 hours 20 minutes, a 12% deficit. The staff-to-resident ratio is 1.26:1, or 26% worse than Mississippi’s 1.69:1 benchmark. Registered nurses provide 48 minutes per resident per day (26% above state average weekdays), but licensed practical nurses deliver 47 minutes per day (29% below state average) and certified nursing aides provide 2 hours 1 minute daily (19% below state average).

CMS ratings reflect this: 1 star overall, with Health Inspection 60.9% below state average, Staffing 64.7% below state average, Quality Measures 7.8% below state average. Falls with major injury among long-stay residents reach 5.9% (85% worse than the 3.2% state average) and among short-stay residents 4.8% (518% worse than 0.8% state average). Functional ability at discharge stands at 15.4% versus a state average of 53.7%.

The facility maintains 91.3% occupancy (above the 82.3% state average) and accepts Medicare (18.5% of residents), Medicaid (75.4%), and private pay (6.2%). It provides 24-hour staffing, rehabilitation services, respite care, and memory care. Amenities include private suites, WiFi, in-room televisions, outdoor patios, and a transportation van. Named programs include Life Connections, Connection Stories, and the 719 Project.

Families should ask about corrections for the December 2025 deficiencies, medication reconciliation protocols, baseline care-plan procedures at admission, and staff training verification in diabetes management.

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Weekend RN is +27% 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.	43m per day	▲ 14% 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.	52m per day	▼ 22% 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.	3h 3m per day	▼ 13% 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	▼ 53% 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.	28m per day	▲ 27% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 28m per day
