The short answer

Record last released by Mississippi State Department of Health, Bureau of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification on Oct 12, 2026.

Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it

What these words mean4

Not read: The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
Inspection (survey): A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
Deficiency, citation, violation: What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
Capacity: The most people the licence or certification lets the place care for at once: residents, children, beds or apartments, as the state counts them. It isn’t how many are there now. Source: Each state’s licensing agency.

What did inspectors find?

Mississippi’s directory carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The State Department of Health says “Members of the public, including the news media, can request public records through our online form.”

How do patients fare?

CMS rates only Medicare-certified hospitals, so no CMS rating is shown here; Mississippi publishes no rating in this list.

Is it licensed, or certified?

Psychiatric hospital, licensed by Mississippi’s State Department of Health.
MSDH’s directory marks no certification, and CMS’s files of the providers Medicare certifies (Care Compare and the Provider of Services file) don’t hold it by its name in its city or its street, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS , survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
Mississippi’s licence number: 31-136.
Licensed beds by type (MSDH’s directory): psychiatric 120; chemical dependency 50.
Accreditation on MSDH’s directory: TJC.
MSDH’s directory’s comments: “Not DEEMED - Not Certified - Licensed and Accredited Only 305 beds in Abeyance Psych”.

Has the state acted against it?

Mississippi’s directory carries no enforcement actions.

What do patients say about their care?

Mississippi publishes no staffing levels in this list, and CMS’s staffing measures cover only certified hospitals.

Who owns it?

This list doesn’t name owners.

How does it compare nearby?

Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the hospitals Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.

What the record doesn’t say

Mississippi licenses every hospital, and MSDH’s directory lists each licence, but not which Medicare certifies. This page is one CMS’s files don’t hold by its name, its street or its number, and that a check row by row found licensed only, not a satellite or remote location of a hospital CMS lists: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it.
CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
Mississippi’s directory carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The State Department of Health says “Members of the public, including the news media, can request public records through our online form.”
Mississippi’s directory is compiled from the licence applications for the current licensure year; its hospital pages are updated apart from its cover.
