Mississippi average: 45 deficiencies

Inspection Report Summary for Woodland Village Nursing Center

The most recent inspection on August 25, 2025, found the facility in compliance with all applicable emergency preparedness requirements and cited no deficiencies. Prior inspections showed a mixed record, with a significant annual survey in June 2025 identifying multiple deficiencies related to resident privacy, assessment accuracy, food safety, infection control, and pest control. Complaint investigations since then, including those related to physical abuse, were unsubstantiated and did not result in citations. Earlier reports from 2024 and 2023 documented substantiated issues with misappropriation of resident property, neglect in activities of daily living such as bathing, and food safety concerns, with corrective actions implemented afterward. The facility’s recent clean inspection and resolution of prior deficiencies suggest improvement in compliance over time.
