A theater named Tom Thumb tells you something about a place before you even walk in, and Wesley Manor has one, tucked into its amenity list alongside a chapel, a salon and spa, and a garden with walking paths. The nursing home itself sits at 246 Westover Drive in Hattiesburg, three stories, one- and two-bedroom units, starting at $3,709 a month.
Getting around outside the building takes a car. Walk Score comes in at 23, firmly car-dependent, so residents and visiting family will lean on transportation more than sidewalks here.
Clinically, the staffing breakdown covers the standard tiers: registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides, all contributing to daily resident care. Beyond nursing itself, the service list includes rehabilitation, respite care, short-term rehab, and round-the-clock staffing, with a specific skilled nursing and rehab track and spiritual care available for residents who want it.
There’s a connection to the wider community too, one that goes past the property line: residents can take part in educational and entertainment programs through nearby University of Southern Mississippi and William Carey University, a detail that separates Wesley Manor from a purely self-contained facility.
Wesley Manor ultimately offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation care wrapped in genuine on-site amenities and a real link to local academic life, in a stretch of Hattiesburg where a car matters more than a sidewalk.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 49m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 46m 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 35% State avg: 49m 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 38m per day | ▲ 8% State avg: 2h 26m 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 22m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 3h 30m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 50% State avg: 4m 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
