Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (84% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
Under the ownership of Joseph Speetjens, Union County Health and Rehabilitation Center operates a 60-bed nursing home at 1111 Bratton Road in New Albany, Mississippi. The administrative office coordinates with several financial setups, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options. For visitors, the surrounding area carries a walkability score of 60 out of 100, which means the neighborhood is moderately pedestrian-friendly and family members can complete a few basic errands on foot.
An analysis of local operational metrics shows an average resident stay of 77 days, pointing to a facility model that heavily emphasizes short-term post-hospital therapy alongside traditional long-term placements. To manage the daily medical and personal care routines, the 24-hour staffing schedule delivers an average of 5 hours and 58 minutes of total nursing care per resident each day. This volume of direct clinical hours supports individuals requiring intensive recovery tracks or ongoing medical monitoring.
Regulatory documentation confirms that the administration manages its daily clinical routines and building operations in full alignment with government rules, resulting in zero deficiencies on recent reports and maintaining a cumulative citations-per-inspection rate of zero.
Prospective residents have access to dedicated rehabilitation programs, in-home nursing services, and structured recreational activities designed for post-acute recovery. The day-to-day schedule coordinates these physical conditioning tracks and personal care duties with communal dining options, standard laundry care, housekeeping assistance, and open visiting windows for family members.
Union County Health and Rehabilitation Center is legally operated by Mr. Mims, and administered by Ray Jones.
In Mississippi, the State Department of Health, Bureau of Health Facilities Licensure conducts unannounced surveys to monitor facility compliance with health, safety, and resident rights laws.
