All 8 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Jackson,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Magnolia Senior Care runs 60 beds in Jackson under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.14 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage, though, drops about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the weekday-to-weekend gap is worth asking about directly. Annual turnover is 41%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, with two fines totaling $8,542. The most recent inspection was April 16, 2026, and quality measures score well even as health inspection and staffing sit in the middle.
Lakeland Community Care Center runs 105 certified beds in Jackson under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing numbers carry a catch worth knowing. Total nurse coverage of 3.90 hours per resident day edges out the national average of 3.86, but weekends drop roughly 22% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't the care you'd see on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 59% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves within a year. The record shows 29 deficiencies, one abuse-related and none at harm level, plus a single $8,424 fine. A January 2025 inspection is recent, and the 2/5 health inspection rating reflects those findings.
Compere Nh Inc runs 60 certified beds in Jackson under individual for-profit ownership, and its overall nurse staffing of 4.10 hours per resident day sits about 6% above the national average of 3.86. That headline number looks fine until you notice weekends run roughly 28% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets depends heavily on which day it is. The inspection record is the stronger side: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating, last survey in July 2025, and 8 deficiencies on file with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. Quality measures and staffing each rate 2 out of 5, which is where the concerns concentrate.
Manhattan Community Care Center runs 180 certified beds in Jackson under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through slowly. Nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, just under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below what the home staffs on weekdays, thinner coverage exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 56.4% means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year, well above the 45.8% national figure. Its current record carries 32 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way, one abuse-related, plus $22,808 in fines. The last inspection came in July 2024, so that record is recent.
Chadwick Community Care Center runs 102 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.17 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest exactly when families tend to visit, and annual turnover of 72.5% means most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. The current record shows 22 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $8,281 fine; the last inspection was January 29, 2026. Quality measures score lowest of the three CMS categories, with staffing and health inspections each one step above that.
Pine Forest runs 4.87 nurse hours per resident per day, well above the national figure of 3.86, but that average hides a lot, since weekends drop roughly 27% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 63% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people providing that care are often new or on their way out. The inspection record is the harder problem: 41 deficiencies, 11 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, plus six fines totaling $136,799. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so this is a current picture, not history. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
Pleasant Hills runs 100 certified beds in Jackson under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers show a building under real strain. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, but weekends drop about 18% below its own weekday level, meaning the coverage families count on Saturday and Sunday is thinner than what the home staffs during the week. Turnover is the bigger signal: 55.3% annually against a 45.8% national average, so nearly six in ten caregivers are leaving each year. That churn shows up in the inspection record, too, 24 deficiencies, four serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and four fines totaling $147,937.
Alyce G Clarke Center is a state-run home in Jackson, Mississippi, serving medically fragile children. Its record shows zero deficiencies on the current inspection, including none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse. The most recent survey was December 9, 2025, meaning the findings are recent rather than stale. That combination, a clean record with no harm-level citations and a fresh inspection, is uncommon and worth weighing against the kind of population this home serves. Children who are medically fragile often need intense, specialized care, so a spotless survey here reflects steady clinical attention, not an easy caseload. If you're considering placement, the paperwork itself won't give you much to worry about.
