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.

Yalobusha County Nursing Home runs on a county government budget, and the staffing numbers show it: 4.19 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday level. That uneven coverage matters more than the headline figure, since care doesn't pause on Saturdays. Turnover sits at 40.2%, better than the 45.8% national rate, suggesting a fairly stable workforce for a rural county home. The current inspection record is where the concern lies: 14 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. Last inspected October 9, 2025, with a 3/5 inspection score and 2/5 on quality measures.

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.

George Regional runs on a county budget out in Lucedale, and the numbers say the place is staffed well above what's typical, 5.2 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 39.6%, better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage drops about a fifth below its own weekday level, so your visit timing matters. What pulls against that is the record: 17 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm, two tied to abuse, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5 despite inspection and staffing each earning top marks.

Community Place runs on a nonprofit model with 60 certified beds in Brandon, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.77 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average of 3.86. That staffing strength holds up on weekends less well, running about 27% below its own weekday level, though turnover at 44.2% is slightly better than the national 45.8%. Inspections tell a mixed story: the most recent, in May 2026, produced a 4-star health inspection rating, with 14 deficiencies on record and none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Quality measures score just 2 out of 5, so ask how the staff-to-resident ratio actually plays out on Saturdays and Sundays.

Jefferson County Nursing Home is county-owned and runs 60 certified beds in Fayette, and its strongest suit is staffing: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, about 15% above the national average, with turnover at 34% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage drops roughly 18% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The health inspection record is solid, 4 of 5 stars, last inspected May 2025, but nine deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them abuse-related, and the quality measure rating is just 1 of 5. Ask directly how those abuse citations were resolved and what the low quality scores reflect.

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.

Lexington Manor runs on more nurse hours than the typical U.S. home, about 3.98 per resident day against a national average near 3.86, and the inspection record backs that up, with 11 deficiencies and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse. The last state visit was in October 2024, so the picture is recent. Staff turnover sits at 41.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekends run roughly 14% leaner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits then. Corporate for-profit ownership, 60 beds, and a four-star inspection rating round it out. Solid, not spotless.

Care Center Of Aberdeen runs about 105 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing sits slightly above the national average, roughly 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, with a 4-out-of-5 CMS staffing rating and turnover a bit better than the norm at 43.3%. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 14% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is the weaker side: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 20 deficiencies currently on file, including one tied to abuse and one at the harm or jeopardy level, plus a single fine of $10,358. Its last inspection was May 2026.

Landmark Nursing and Rehab Center runs 4.97 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 29% above the national average, and that staffing depth shows in a 4-out-of-5 staffing star rating. The catch is consistency: weekend coverage drops about 17% below the home's own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 51.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care change often. The current inspection record carries seven deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, along with a $29,900 fine. A September 2025 inspection and a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating suggest the home is being watched closely and correcting course.

Stone County Rehabilitation runs about 4.74 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 23% above the national average of 3.86, and turnover sits at 42.1%, slightly better than the 45.8% norm. That staffing picture looks solid on paper. But the quality measure rating is 1 out of 5, and the current record carries 9 deficiencies, 4 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one fine of $8,190. Weekend coverage also dips about 20% below weekday levels, so the hours aren't evenly spread. A 4-star inspection from May 2025 counts for something, yet the clinical quality numbers and those four harm-level findings are what pull the overall picture down.

Riverview runs 91 certified beds in Greenwood under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.91 hours per resident day versus 3.86. That margin is thin, and weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the weekday numbers flatter the overall picture. The inspection record is where the real story sits: 27 deficiencies on file, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level but one tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in November 2024. Quality and health inspection ratings both land at 2 out of 5. Nothing here suggests danger, but the pattern points to a home that meets minimums rather than exceeds them.

Haven Hall runs 81 certified beds in Brookhaven as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.78 hours per resident day, just under the 3.86 national average, roughly two percent light. The bigger issue is weekends, when coverage drops about 16 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters because falls and infections don't check the calendar. Inspectors cited 12 deficiencies on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with a single fine of $9,445. The last inspection was April 2, 2026. No abuse findings appear in the record, which is worth noting. What you're looking at is a home that isn't failing badly but isn't staffing like it means to stay ahead of trouble, either.

Azalea Gardens sits in Wiggins, a 99-bed for-profit home under individual ownership, and its numbers split sharply depending on where you look. The nurse staffing figure, 3.81 hours per resident day, lands just under the national average, though weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out more is turnover: 22.6% against a national average near 46%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspectors were last in on March 6, 2025, and the record shows 12 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse. The quality measure star rating sits at 1 out of 5, which is the piece I'd press hardest on before deciding.

The Meadows runs about 3.77 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below its own weekday level, so the help you'd want on a Saturday afternoon is thinner than the weekday number suggests. Staff turnover sits at 51.8%, noticeably above the national 45.8%, which matters because unfamiliar aides mean less continuity for residents. On the record: 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus a $12,735 fine. Inspections are recent, so this reflects current conditions rather than old history.

Billdora Senior Care runs 60 certified beds in Tylertown, and its nursing hours are the strongest part of the picture, 4.67 per resident day, about 21% above the national average. That staffing cushion matters less on weekends, when hours drop roughly 22% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover sits at 41.8%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. The inspection record is where the concern lives: 8 deficiencies, 2 of them at harm or jeopardy level, and one fine of $14,020. The most recent inspection was April 9, 2026, so the record is current. Ownership is for-profit corporate. Solid staffing, uneven coverage, and a mixed inspection history.

Grenada Living Center runs 90 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest card it holds: a four-out-of-five health inspection rating, a recent April 2025 survey, and 11 deficiencies with none rising to harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse. Staffing sits at 3.65 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays. Turnover at 36.6% actually beats the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. The quality measure rating of just one out of five is the real outlier here, and it's the number I'd press the administrator on before deciding.

Glen Oaks runs on more nursing hours than most homes in the country, 4.37 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and that staffing shows up in a four-star rating on that measure. What the numbers also show is a workforce that doesn't stay put: 61.1% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, and weekend coverage drops roughly 15% from weekday levels. The inspection record itself is the strongest part of the picture: a clean five-star history, two deficiencies on file, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey completed in March 2025. Corporate-owned and small at 45 beds, it's a home that inspects well but leans hard on a churning staff to keep those hours filled.
