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.

CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that regulates nursing homes) Overall 5-star rating — a composite of Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures scores. 5 stars = top 10% nationally. 1 star = bottom 10%. The single most important number to start with when comparing facilities.
Care Types in This Table NH (Nursing Home): 24/7 skilled nursing care for residents with complex, ongoing medical needs. SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility): Round-the-clock nursing care, often for recovery after surgery, injury, or illness. RC (Respite Care): Short-term temporary care that gives family caregivers a break. HOS (Hospice Care): Comfort-focused care for those with a terminal illness, prioritizing quality of life over treatment. PC (Palliative Care): Comfort-focused care for serious illness at any stage, including alongside curative treatment.
Neighborhood or city area where the facility is located. Proximity to family, hospitals, and green space matters for both quality of life and ease of visitation. Consider drive time and transit access when evaluating location.
Licensed bed capacity. Larger facilities (300+ beds) often have more specialized programs but can feel institutional. Smaller homes (under 150 beds) tend to deliver more personalized care. Compare with Avg Res/Day to understand how full the facility typically runs.
Percentage of licensed beds filled on an average day. Color indicates financial health: green (90%+) = operationally strong, typically profitable. Amber (80–89%) = stable but leaving revenue on the table. Orange (70–79%) = financial strain likely, may struggle with fixed costs. Red (<70%) = significant distress, closure or ownership change risk increases sharply.
This facility's occupancy rate compared to the statewide average for similar facilities. A positive number means above-average demand. Facilities running 5%+ above the state average are typically the most sought-after in their market — a strong proxy for reputation.
CMS-adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day (RN + LPN + CNA combined). The national average is approximately 3.5 hrs. Higher is better — more direct care time per resident. Below 3.0 is a red flag. CMS weights RN hours more heavily because RNs handle complex clinical decisions that CNAs cannot.
CMS Health Inspection star rating (1–5 stars), based on the 3 most recent annual state surveys plus any complaint investigations. This is the hardest rating to manipulate — it reflects real surveyor findings on-site. 5 stars = fewest deficiencies found. 1 star = most. It carries the heaviest weight in the Overall CMS rating.
CMS Staffing star rating (1–5 stars), based on daily nurse staffing hours submitted to CMS via verified payroll data. Compares RN, LPN, and CNA coverage relative to resident acuity level. 5 stars = well above expected staffing. Weekend staffing is evaluated separately, as that's where many facilities quietly reduce coverage.
CMS Quality Measures star rating (1–5 stars), based on 15 clinical outcome metrics including fall rates, pressure ulcers, antipsychotic drug use, and hospital readmissions. Captures actual resident health outcomes, not just compliance. High QM combined with low Health Inspection scores can indicate a facility with strong care but weak documentation practices.
Registered Nurse hours per resident/day compared to the statewide average. RNs are the highest-skilled nursing staff — they assess residents, manage medications, and respond to emergencies. A value of +50% means RN coverage is 50% above the state norm. Negative values are a concern for residents with complex or acute medical needs.
Total nursing staff hours (RN + LPN + CNA combined) per resident/day vs. the statewide average. A broader measure than RN vs State — it captures the entire care team. A facility can have high total staffing but low RN hours, meaning more aides and fewer nurses. Read both columns together for the full picture.
Total dollar amount of federal monetary fines (civil money penalties) issued by CMS in the past 3 years. Fines are only levied for serious violations — typically actual harm to residents, repeated uncorrected deficiencies, or systemic non-compliance. Even a single fine is noteworthy. Multiple fines strongly suggest a pattern, not isolated incidents.
Total health deficiency citations from the most recent standard inspection cycle. Minor citations (scope A–C) are common and often administrative in nature. Higher counts aren't always disqualifying, but should be read alongside Severe Citations to understand actual harm levels. Under 10 is strong for a large facility; 30+ warrants a closer look.
Average deficiency citations per CMS inspection (survey) in the reporting window — total citations divided by the number of inspections. Lower is better; compare alongside total Citations and Severe Citations for context.
Citations at CMS scope/severity level G or higher — G–I means actual harm occurred; J–L means residents were placed in immediate jeopardy. (D–F is potential for harm only). Examples include unaddressed falls, medication errors causing injury, neglect, or abuse.
Average number of residents in the building on any given day, derived from annual census data. Reflects true operating scale — a 400-bed facility running 200 residents/day operates very differently from one at 390. Higher resident counts generally mean more funded staffing hours.
Better Business Bureau rating (A+ to F). Reflects complaint history, business transparency, and how family disputes were resolved. A+ means no significant unresolved complaints. A blank (—) means the facility isn't BBB-accredited, which is common for healthcare providers and not necessarily a negative signal.
Walk Score® (0–100). Measures walkability of the surrounding area. 90–100 = Walker's Paradise. 70–89 = Very Walkable. 50–69 = Somewhat Walkable. Below 50 = Car-Dependent. Higher scores benefit family visitors, resident outings, and staff commuting.
The licensed owner or operator of record filed with CMS — the individual or organization legally accountable for the facility. Searching the operator name across other facilities can reveal chain or multi-site ownership, which matters: chain-operated homes tend to have more variable quality outcomes than independently run facilities.
What the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts — not gross billings. Taken from the latest complete annual cost report, so it is comparable across homes reporting the same period. Revenue alone doesn't indicate care quality, but it funds staffing and capital reinvestment. Pair with Payroll %. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Staff salaries plus wage-related benefits from the latest complete annual cost report. Contract and agency labour is counted separately, under other operating costs, so a home leaning on agency staff can show a low figure here. Payroll is the cost most directly tied to care quality — compare with Payroll % for full context. Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
Payroll as a share of NET PATIENT REVENUE (not gross revenue). Both figures come from the same cost-report year. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay. Read with the Staffing star rating to judge whether spend translates into coverage — and note that homes whose patient revenue covers only part of their operation can read implausibly high. The Mississippi average is: 48.0% Figures are from each facility's most recent complete fiscal year — hover a value for the exact year; a * marks homes that report an older period than most facilities.
