Nursing Homes & Senior Care in Mississippi

Mississippi is home to 202 CMS-certified nursing homes listed in the Care Compare directory, each assigned an official Five-Star Quality rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Across the state, nursing homes carry an average overall rating of 2.7 out of 5 stars.

The Five-Star rating system is a relative quality measure with documented limitations. The ratings presented here reflect data from May 2026 and should not be interpreted as recommendations or guarantees of care quality. Each facility receives three separate star ratings—overall quality, health inspection performance, and staffing adequacy—which together provide a multidimensional view of operational standards.

Prospective residents and families should recognize that the Five-Star rating is one factor among many in evaluating a nursing home. Location, the specific medical and care requirements of the resident, an in-person facility visit, and direct conversations with administrative and clinical staff all play important roles in the decision-making process. Because rating information is updated regularly, individuals should confirm each facility's current rating on its live Medicare Care Compare profile before making any care decisions.

How to read this. The star ratings here are official CMS Five-Star Quality figures, shown as the rating as of May2026 — a relative quality measure with documented limits, not a recommendation, guarantee, or medical/financial/legal advice. Always confirm the current rating and details on the facility’s live Medicare Care Compare profile, and involve the resident and their clinicians in any decision.
