Jnh-Madison Inn is state-owned, which matters here because it's held to public records and public budgets in a way private operators aren't. The numbers back it up: 4.89 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and turnover at 30.3% when the typical home runs closer to 46%. Three deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with an inspection as recent as October 2025. The one soft spot is weekends, when staffing drops about 18% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits Saturday or Sunday. Otherwise, the record is clean and unusually well-staffed.

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.

Martha Coker Green House Home in Yazoo City runs on unusually heavy staffing for a nursing home, 5.63 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and it holds a five-star CMS staffing rating. Weekend coverage does dip about 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover sits at 26.8%, well under the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. The home is a nonprofit with 15 deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and its last inspection was in September 2024. For families weighing a move, the pattern here is steady hands and few serious problems.

Jnh-Jefferson Inn runs on 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the national 45.8%, and the current record shows 15 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related. State-run ownership means public accountability, though the three-out-of-five inspection rating suggests room remains. The last inspection was October 2025, so the picture is current. Strong staffing and quality scores carry this home; the inspection history is where you'd want to ask questions.

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.

Jnh-Jaquith Inn runs on 5.14 total nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and that shows up in the federal star ratings: five out of five on staffing and on quality measures, four on health inspections. Weekend coverage drops about 19% from weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 51.7%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well anyone knows your parent. Seven deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. It's state-run, which shapes both the accountability and the pace of change.

Golden Age runs a leaner ship than most. At 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, it beats the national average by roughly 23%, and its 26.9% turnover sits well below the 45.8% norm, a sign that caregivers tend to stay. Weekends thin out about 17% from weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets managed. Sixteen deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though two are abuse-related; that's worth a direct question. The last inspection was November 2024. A three-star inspection and quality score with five-star staffing suggests a home carried by its floor staff. Nonprofit ownership means no shareholder pressure, which often shows up in exactly this pattern.

Tallahatchie General Hosp Ecf runs on county money, and the staffing numbers reflect that: 4.17 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 13% below its own weekday level. Turnover sits at 33.7%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record, 12 deficiencies currently, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, plus a single $11,450 fine. The most recent inspection was October 2025. Solid staffing and stable retention, but the harm-level findings are the part a family should ask about directly.

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.

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.

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.

Dugan Memorial Home runs on unusually heavy staffing for a 60-bed for-profit home, 5.12 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and CMS gives it top marks on that measure. Weekends thin out by about a fifth, and turnover sits near 49%, a touch above the national figure, so the coverage isn't perfectly steady. The record isn't spotless either: 11 deficiencies, including one at harm level and two tied to abuse, plus a single $8,788 fine. Its last inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. Strong hands-on care, some real compliance blemishes worth asking about directly.

Trinity Healthcare Center runs on a nonprofit model with 60 beds in Columbus, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.82 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That cushion matters, though weekends dip about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care isn't perfectly even across the week. Turnover lands at 42.2%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 10 deficiencies on record, including two at harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse, with a single $10,033 fine. The most recent inspection was April 2026, so the picture is current.

Greene County Health And Rehabilitation runs on county money and 60 certified beds, and its staffing is the standout: 4.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average, which is why CMS hands it a five-star staffing rating. Retention is steadier than most, too, 36.5% turnover against a national 45.8%, though weekend coverage still dips about 14% below weekdays. The caution sits on the inspection side: nine deficiencies on the current record, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $8,788 fine. That last inspection closed in January 2026, so the picture is current. Good hands on deck; the safety record is the open question.

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.

James T Champion runs on state government ownership in Meridian, and the staffing numbers are the first thing that stands out: 6.83 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 77% above the national average. That's an unusual level of coverage, and turnover sits at 33.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care tend to stay. Weekends dip about 15% below the home's own weekday staffing, worth knowing if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. The tradeoff shows up in the quality measures, where CMS scores it 1 out of 5, and in 10 deficiencies on the current record, one abuse-related, though none at harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was February 2026. Strong hands-on staffing, weaker clinical outcomes on paper.

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.
