Nursing homes across Jackson County, Mississippi, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
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.
Diversicare Of Moss Point runs 160 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.46 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average of 3.86, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 11% below its own weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The current record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, though inspection and quality measure ratings both land at 2 out of 5 stars. The last inspection was 2026-04-22. What's behind the B is steady, modest staffing and clean harm-level history against weaker inspection and quality results.
Ocean Springs Health & Rehabilitation Center runs 115 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers sit about 15% under the national average at 3.29 nurse hours per resident day. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below what the home staffs on weekdays, and annual turnover hits 52% against a national average near 46%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 31 deficiencies, five serious enough to put residents in harm's way, two tied to abuse, and $38,277 in fines across four penalties.
Plaza Community Living Center runs 100 certified beds in Pascagoula under corporate, for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.64 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 50.5% tops the national 45.8% average, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The current inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy and two tied to abuse. That's a lot to weigh against the January 2025 inspection date and whatever the quality measures are showing.
River Chase Village runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection rating and ten deficiencies on the current record, none of them causing harm or involving abuse. That's a real strength, and the April 2026 inspection is recent enough to trust.
The staffing side tells a different story. At 3.26 nurse hours per resident day, this home sits about 16 percent below the national average, and weekends dip another 8 percent below its own weekday levels. Sixty beds under for-profit partnership ownership, with a one-star staffing rating, means your family member's care depends heavily on which shift they're on and what day of the week it is.
Ask about weekend coverage and actual aide-to-resident ratios before deciding.
Sunplex Sub-Acute Center is a 73-bed for-profit home in Ocean Springs, and the numbers behind its federal record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, gaps that matter most when a resident needs help and fewer hands are on the floor. The inspection history is the bigger concern: 41 deficiencies on the current record, 15 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 3 abuse-related, with four fines totaling $305,999. CMS has placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which it reserves for the homes with the most persistent problems. Staff turnover of 48.3% runs above the national average, meaning caregivers keep leaving.
