Forrest General Hospital's skilled nursing unit runs on 8.20 nurse hours per resident day, more than double the national average of 3.86. That's an unusual number, most homes don't come close. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially matching the national rate, so retention here isn't a problem or a strength. The county-owned unit carries two deficiencies on its current record, neither at the harm level and none abuse-related, with its last inspection in May 2026. All three CMS star ratings land at five.

Merit Health Wesley runs a small 25-bed unit in Hattiesburg, and the numbers that stand out most are staffing and inspection history. At 5.83 nurse hours per resident day, it puts roughly half again as much nursing time into each resident as the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 33.3% sits well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Seven deficiencies on record, none rising to harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. The weaker spot is quality measures, which land mid-range.

Pearl River Co Nursing Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 105-bed nonprofit, 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national figure. The catch is weekends, when hours drop roughly a quarter below the weekday pace, so coverage isn't as steady as the top-level number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national average, which matters for residents who value seeing the same faces. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The last inspection came in February 2025, so the picture is current.

Jefferson Davis Community Hospital Ecf runs on unusually strong staffing for a small rural home, 4.66 nurse hours per resident day, about a fifth more than the national average, and it shows in a five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage drops roughly 21% below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover sits at 34% against a national 45.8%, which matters for whether residents see the same faces. The health inspection rating is solid at four stars and the record shows ten deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Quality measures are the weak spot at two stars, so press on falls, weight loss, and medication numbers before deciding.

Pontotoc Nursing Home runs lean in a good way on staffing, 4.27 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and the low 28.6% turnover means the aides and nurses you meet are more likely to still be there next year. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 18% below what the home staffs during the week, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday shift. Seven deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Quality measures score low even as staffing scores high, which is worth asking about directly.

Webster Health Services runs a small ship in Eupora, 36 beds, nonprofit owned, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card. At 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only modestly from weekdays. Turnover of 28.6% is well under the national 45.8%, which matters in a rural county where replacing nurses is hard. The caution is the inspection record: four deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, plus a $12,335 fine, with the most recent survey in August 2025. Nothing points to abuse. The care hours look solid; the one bad finding is worth asking about directly.

Winston County Nursing Home runs a nonprofit operation with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of the picture: 4.39 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average. That earned a five-star CMS staffing rating, and turnover sits at 36.2%, well below the national 45.8%, a sign people tend to stay. The tradeoffs show up elsewhere. Weekend staffing drops roughly 18% below weekday levels, and the quality measure rating is 2/5. Nine deficiencies sit on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. The last inspection was March 2024.

Noxubee County Nursing Home runs a county-owned, 60-bed operation in Macon, and its staffing numbers are the bright spot here. At 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% above the national average, and turnover of 27.1% is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, a sign people tend to stay. Weekends thin out, though, running roughly 17% under weekday levels. The harder read is quality and safety: the last inspection in June 2025 turned up 14 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating against a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating tells you the care hours are there, but the oversight record isn't.

Neshoba County Nursing Home runs on a county government budget, and the staffing numbers reflect real investment: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average, with a 5-out-of-5 staffing rating. But weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below weekday levels, and the inspection record is messier, 23 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a $15,945 fine. Staff turnover sits at 45.5%, essentially matching the national rate. The last inspection was November 2025. Strong floor staffing, a thin weekend margin, and a deficiency list worth asking about directly.

Baptist Nursing Home-Calhoun runs a nonprofit home with 120 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely good: 5.05 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 19% below its own weekday level, but turnover sits at 31.8% against a national 45.8%, so aides tend to stay. The problem is everything else. Twenty-two deficiencies sit on the current record, six of them at harm or jeopardy level and four abuse-related, all from an inspection dated May 2025. Plenty of hands on deck, then, but the care those hands deliver has repeatedly fallen short in ways that put residents at real risk.

Tippah County Nursing Home runs on a county budget and 40 beds, and the staffing numbers stand out: 4.95 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 20% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.2%, lower than the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Seventeen deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in February 2026. Quality measure scores run low at 2 out of 5, so ask what those specific measures cover.

Methodist Specialty Care Center runs on unusually deep staffing: 7.57 nurse hours per resident day, roughly double the national figure, and only 22.9% of staff left last year against a national average near 46%. Five deficiencies sit on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in May 2025, a clean health inspection history that matches the top staffing marks. The weaker spot is the quality measure side, where resident outcome data scores lower than the staffing and inspection records would suggest. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, a modest gap given how much total nursing time is available here.

Walter B Crook, a state-run home in Ruleville, runs on unusually strong staffing: 4.80 nurse hours per resident day, about a quarter more than the national average, and its 27% turnover is well below the 45.8% norm. Weekends dip only slightly from weekday coverage. What pulls it down is care quality, CMS rates its quality measures 1 out of 5, and its record carries 14 deficiencies, three serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse. A recent November 2025 inspection means the picture is current. Plenty of hands on deck, then; the question is what those hands are doing.

Singing River runs on unusually heavy nurse coverage, 8.11 hours per resident per day, roughly double the national figure, and weekends dip only about a quarter below its own weekday level, which matters because that's when many homes thin out most. But the record carries ten deficiencies, four of them at the level where harm or immediate jeopardy was possible, plus an abuse citation and $31,437 in fines across four events. Staff turnover sits at 57.1%, above the 45.8% national average, so the people delivering that strong daily staffing keep changing. County-owned, inspected in December 2025, with solid marks on inspection, quality, and staffing stars. The gap between those stars and the trouble on the deficiency record is the whole story here.

Bolivar Medical Center Ltc runs 35 certified beds in Cleveland under corporate for-profit ownership, and its strongest numbers show up in staffing and inspections. Nurse coverage sits at 4.43 hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 13% leaner than weekdays. Staff turnover is a real weak spot at 53.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters when residents rely on familiar faces. The health inspection record is solid, four stars, five deficiencies and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, last reviewed in July 2025. Quality measures tell a different story at one star, so care outcomes don't track with the staffing picture. Worth asking about retention and what those quality numbers reflect.

Jasper County Nursing Home in Bay Springs runs on county money, and its staffing is genuinely better than most: 4.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 42.7%, slightly under the national rate, which suggests people stick around more than usual here. The catch is weekends, when hours drop about 16% below the home's own weekday level, and the inspection record: 24 deficiencies, three serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse. The last full inspection was October 2025. Strong daily coverage doesn't cancel out what those inspections found.

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.
