Our read on Hattiesburg Health & Rehab Center

Hattiesburg Health & Rehab has a genuine staffing story: 4.83 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average, and that's the kind of number that matters most on a bad night. The catch is consistency, weekend coverage drops noticeably below the home's own weekday schedule, and turnover sits at 63.5%, meaning the people providing that care keep changing. The inspection record shows nine deficiencies, including one abuse-related and one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, with a single fine of $8,021. Quality measures land at the bottom of CMS's scale while inspections sit near the top, a split worth asking about directly.
