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.
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.
Meridian's Oaks Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center runs 82 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers there deserve a careful read before you consider it. Nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, about 13% below the home's own weekday level. Annual turnover hits 60.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents are frequently new.
The current inspection record carries 34 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and eight abuse-related, with $42,487 in fines across three penalties. The most recent inspection was June 26, 2025. Ask about those abuse deficiencies directly, and about how weekend coverage is handled.
Pass Christian Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 60 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.45 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop another 12% below its own weekday coverage, which matters most when families visit and needs go unmet. Annual turnover hits 71.2%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for residents keep changing. Eighteen deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. One fine totaling $8,224 has been levied. The last inspection was September 4, 2025.
Tupelo Community Care Center runs 120 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Staffing sits at 3.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% under the national average, and weekends drop about 19% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 60.8% against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for your relative are relatively new. The inspection record is the harder read: 34 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and six fines totaling $75,044.
Grand Trace runs on 3.30 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips about 5% below its own weekday numbers. Staff turnover sits at 58.8% against a national 45.8%, so nearly three in five workers leave within a year. Its record shows 39 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, plus $48,153 in fines across two penalties, with the most recent inspection in March 2025. The federal star ratings land at one out of five for both health inspections and quality measures, and two for staffing. This is a for-profit limited liability company operating 96 certified beds.
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.
Arabella Health & Wellness Of Meridian runs 84 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely the strong point: 15 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and the most recent survey came in April 2025. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing averages 3.41 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national figure, weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 66.7% against a 45.8% national average. That combination, thin coverage that thins further on weekends, with most of the workforce leaving each year, is what pulls the quality and staffing measures down, even with a clean recent inspection.
Bedford Care Center of Marion runs on a for-profit LLC model with 120 certified beds, and its staffing numbers tell two different stories. Nurses provide 5.10 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, but weekends drop about 19% below weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 88.9%, nearly double the national rate, meaning the people providing that care cycle through constantly. The inspection record is where the real trouble sits: 27 deficiencies on file, 7 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus 2 abuse-related findings and $244,855 in fines across three penalties. A recent March 2026 inspection and low marks on both health inspections and quality measures round out a picture that staffing hours alone can't fix.
Bedford Care Center of Mendenhall runs 60 certified beds under limited liability ownership, and the staffing picture is mixed. At 4.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 7% above the national average, but weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 61.1% against a national 45.8%. The bigger problem is what inspectors found: 23 deficiencies on the current record, six of them at harm or jeopardy level, with four fines totaling $101,514 and a February 2025 inspection. Both the health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5 stars. Turnover that high plus that many serious deficiencies is a combination worth asking about directly before you decide.
Cornerstone runs 95 beds in Corinth under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is the place to start. The current file carries 33 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus two tied to abuse. A single CMS fine of $90,844 came out of that history, and the most recent inspection is dated April 2026.
Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 55.4% against a national 45.8%. That combination, thin weekend coverage, high churn, and a heavy deficiency load, is what drives the low overall grade, not any one number alone.
Coastal Health and Rehabilitation Center runs 180 certified beds in Gulfport under for-profit LLC ownership, and the numbers behind its federal record deserve a close look. Nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends run about a tenth thinner than weekdays, so coverage is stretched exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover compounds that: 63.2% of staff leaving annually, well above the 45.8% national figure.
The inspection record is heavier still, 42 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, three tied to abuse, plus five fines totaling $76,258. A 1-out-of-5 inspection rating and a recent August 2025 survey mean the problems aren't historical. Ask hard questions before considering this one.
Courtyard Health and Rehabilitation is a 145-bed for-profit home in McComb that CMS has placed in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a persistent record of poor inspections. The numbers explain why: 27 deficiencies on the current record, 10 of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, plus 2 tied to abuse. Both its health inspection and quality measure ratings sit at 1 out of 5 stars. Nurse staffing at 3.46 hours per resident day runs about 10% under the national average, weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday levels, and turnover sits near 45%. On paper, the staffing is the least of this home's problems.
