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

Each figure’s source sits beside it, in its section below.

What these words mean8

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.
Star ratings: CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System.
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.
Scope and severity (A to L): CMS grades each nursing home deficiency with a letter. A to C: no actual harm, with potential for minimal harm. D to F: no actual harm, but potential for more. G to I: actual harm. J to L: immediate jeopardy. Within each band, the letter rises as more residents were affected or could be: one or a few, a pattern, or widespread. Source: CMS, nursing home scope and severity grid (State Operations Manual, chapter 7).
Nurse staffing hours: The hours registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nurse aides worked, per resident per day, from the payroll records each home sends CMS. Source: CMS, Payroll-Based Journal.
Fines and payment denials: A fine (civil money penalty) is money CMS makes a nursing home pay when it falls short of federal rules. A payment denial means Medicare and Medicaid stop paying for new admissions until the home meets the rules again. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.430 and 488.417.
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 survey results “are available online for all certified Mississippi nursing homes and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities”: this home isn’t certified.

Is it licensed, or certified?

Nursing home, licensed by Mississippi’s State Department of Health.
MSDH’s directory marks it “Lic Only”: licensed, with no Title 18 (Medicare) or Title 19 (Medicaid) certification, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the nursing homes Medicare certifies, so no CMS , survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
Type on MSDH’s directory: Public.
150 certified beds.

Has the state acted against it?

Mississippi’s directory carries no enforcement actions.

Who does the caring?

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

Who owns it?

Licensee: Mark Smith.

How do residents fare?

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

How does it compare nearby?

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

What the record doesn’t say

Mississippi licenses every nursing home, and MSDH’s directory marks each one Medicare (Title 18) or Medicaid (Title 19) certifies, and each licensed only (“Lic Only”). This page is one it marks licensed only, that CMS’s files don’t hold by its name or its street either: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it.
CMS’s files list only the nursing homes 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 survey results “are available online for all certified Mississippi nursing homes and intermediate care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities”: this home isn’t certified.
Mississippi’s directory is compiled from the licence applications for the current licensure year, and gives a nursing home no licence number.
