Laurelwood Community Living Center runs 60 certified beds in Jones County under individual for-profit ownership, and its current inspection record includes 22 deficiencies, four at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. The health inspection and quality measure star ratings both sit at 1 out of 5, and the last survey was in April 2025. Nurse staffing averages 3.48 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national figure of 3.86, with weekends running about 12% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 54.1% against a national 45.8%, which means more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. One fine totaling $13,520 is on record.
Lamar Healthcare runs 120 beds in Lumberton under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last inspection in April 2026 left 28 deficiencies on the record, four of them serious enough to involve actual harm or jeopardy, plus one abuse-related finding. Nurse staffing sits at 2.98 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 37.3% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which is worth something, but it isn't enough to offset the inspection history. Two fines totaling $10,527 round out the picture.
West Point Community Living Center runs on thin nurse coverage, 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average, and weekends drop another 11% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 38.1%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the staffing star rating of 4 out of 5 reflects real consistency in who shows up. The inspection record is where the trouble sits: 16 deficiencies on file, two at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $44,873 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was August 7, 2025.
Diversicare Of Batesville runs 130 certified beds as a for-profit LLC, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. At 3.54 nurse hours per resident day it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover, though, is genuinely better than most: 36.1% against a national 45.8%, which suggests less churn in who's actually at the bedside.
The inspection record is where the concern sits. Eighteen deficiencies on file include two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $20,138 and a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent survey was June 2025, so the picture is current, not stale.
The numbers here pull in opposite directions, so it helps to know which ones matter most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, basically the national average, and the 30% turnover beats the 45.8% typical elsewhere, though weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays. What drags this one down is the inspection record: 16 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $34,411, with the most recent visit in March 2025. A for-profit corporation runs the place, and the federal quality ratings land at the bottom. Strong staffing doesn't cancel out three harm-level findings. Ask about those specifically.
Grenada Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs on a split record. The nursing hours come in at 3.57 per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 13% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 39% is better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The inspection side is where it gets harder to defend: 30 deficiencies on the current record, three at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, and a $14,800 fine, with the last inspection in July 2024. Corporate-owned and for-profit, this one is worth a visit before you decide.
River Heights Healthcare Center runs 60 certified beds in Greenville under corporate for-profit ownership, and its 3.43 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 11 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekends are the bigger concern, staffing drops about 21 percent below the home's own weekday level, which is when gaps tend to show up in real care. The inspection record carries 25 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with one $8,800 fine; the most recent inspection was May 2026. Federal ratings put health inspections and quality measures both at 2 out of 5, with staffing at 3. If you're weighing this one, ask directly how weekend coverage is handled and what changed after those abuse-related findings.
Tishomingo Manor runs 105 beds in Iuka under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers pull in two directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.89 hours per resident day, just above the national average of 3.86, but weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, so the coverage you see on a Tuesday isn't what your family gets on a Sunday. Turnover lands at 45.1%, roughly in line with the national 45.8%. The trouble is quality: a 1-out-of-5 star rating on CMS quality measures and 15 deficiencies on the current record, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, plus a $12,425 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2025. Ask directly what changed since.
Ms Care Center of Morton runs a 120-bed for-profit operation where the daily nurse staffing works out to 4.46 hours per resident, about 16% above the national average. That looks decent until you notice weekend coverage drops roughly 25% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 59.8% against a 45.8% national figure, nearly six in ten employees leaving each year. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $19,962 in fines across two penalties. Its last inspection was March 19, 2026, so the picture is current. Strong staffing hours and quality scores sit alongside a troubled inspection history, and that gap is what families should weigh.
Sardis Community NH runs 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 8% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when backup is hardest to find. Staff turnover sits at 44.4%, essentially in line with the national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 20 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, against a 2-star health inspection rating and a 2-star quality measure rating. Even with a 4-star staffing rating and a recent July 2025 inspection, the harm-level and abuse-related findings are what a family should ask about directly.
Senatobia Healthcare & Rehab runs on thin margins where it counts. The 106-bed home, owned by a for-profit limited liability company, reports 3.93 total nurse hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage gets thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 74.6%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $8,021. Its last inspection was August 2025.
Memorial Woodland Village has 132 certified beds and enough nurses on paper, 4.08 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, but that average hides a problem: weekends run about 20% leaner than weekdays, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger red flag is turnover, which sits at 100% against a national average near 46%, meaning the staff who know your relative are largely gone within a year. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, two tied to abuse; none rose to actual harm, and the most recent inspection was in June 2025. Federal quality measures rate 1 out of 5.
Ms Care Center of Greenville sits at 90 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection came in February 2025, recent enough that the record reflects current conditions. The inspection history is the bright spot: 13 deficiencies on file, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and worth asking about directly. What pulls the picture down is staffing. At 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 13% under the national average, weekends drop roughly another 10% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover of 70.6% means most of the people caring for your family member are new. A 1-out-of-5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes aren't holding up either.
Ruleville Community Care Center has 111 certified beds and runs on a for-profit LLC model. Its staffing looks fine on paper, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average, but weekends drop about 18% below weekday coverage, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday won't match a Tuesday. That thin weekend coverage matters more when you look at what's on the record: 29 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, seven tied to abuse, and two fines totaling $101,474. The last inspection was August 2025. Staff turnover of 52.9% outpaces the national rate, meaning aides and nurses cycle through fast.
Gulfport Care Center runs 90 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers tell a mixed story. Total nurse coverage sits at 4.05 hours per resident day, about 5% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 63.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents are changing constantly.
The inspection record is the bigger concern: 22 deficiencies on file, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with three fines totaling $24,281 and a health inspection rating of 1 out of 5. The last survey was June 5, 2025, so that record is recent. Quality measures also come in at 1 out of 5.
The Pillars of Biloxi runs 180 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its current inspection record carries 42 deficiencies, five of them at the harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse. Fines total $47,692 across four penalties, and the most recent inspection was August 2025, so that record is recent, not stale.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 57%, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. With the health inspection rating at 1 out of 5 and quality measures at 2, the staffing number is the strongest part of this home's profile, and it's still below average.
Landmark Of Desoto runs 60 certified beds in Horn Lake under for-profit limited liability ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 2.78 hours per resident day, roughly 28% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage. Staff turnover is 56.5% against a national average of 45.8%, so a lot of the people providing care are relatively new to the building.
The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $10,527. CMS gives 2 out of 5 stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, a consistent picture of a home where both the workforce and the oversight record run below standard, and recent inspection activity in March 2026 means that record is current.
Courtyards Comm Living Center runs 66 certified beds in Fulton under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a split story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover hits 50.8%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 39 deficiencies, 11 at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and three fines totaling $117,659. The most recent inspection was May 2025. Strong staffing ratings don't offset that many serious findings.
Myrtles Nursing Center runs 98 beds in Columbia under individual for-profit ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.66 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 20% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 69.5% is well above the national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents this year likely won't be there next year. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection was October 2024. Quality measures score 1 out of 5, the weakest area in its federal profile.
Brandon Community Care Center runs 230 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is genuinely a bright spot, 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average of 3.86. But that staffing comes with a catch: weekend coverage drops about 13% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 60.4% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is where things get serious, 43 deficiencies, 11 at harm or jeopardy level, 4 abuse-related, and $97,553 in fines, with the most recent inspection in July 2025. Good weekday hours can't offset that pattern.
