Nursing Homes in Mississippi: Staffing, Turnover, and Penalties
Mississippi has 202 Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing homes in 115 cities. On CMS's August 2026 figures, nurse aides there log 2.43 hours per resident per day, 5% above the US average of 2.32, and 45.7% of nursing staff leave in a year (US 45.8%).
Mississippi averages
Aide hours per resident per day is the nurse aide time a home logged for each resident across a whole day, from the payroll records every home submits to CMS. More hours per resident means more hands on the floor for the same number of residents. Turnover is the share of nursing staff who left over a year. Fines and payment denials are CMS penalties from the last three years.
