Gulfport Care Center

Gulfport Care Center sits on Canal Road in Gulfport, Mississippi, offering long-term and short-term care for about 65 residents each day in a building with 90 certified beds, and the place is designed to feel homelike and comfortable, with clean, spacious living quarters where staff try to create a sense of family and belonging. The center provides skilled nursing care, memory care, and full rehabilitation services for people who need to recover from surgery, stroke, falls, or other hospital stays, and these therapies focus on helping residents regain strength, mobility, and independence. Residents can take part in social services, recreational activities, and extra amenities aimed at keeping both body and mind active, and there are safety protocols like enhanced barrier precautions to help protect against the spread of infections. While the home tries to offer care that's tailored to each person, inspection reports show Gulfport Care Center has 17 documented deficiencies, including those related to infection control and resident rights, and specific violations for not following nutrition and dietary standards as well as not fully honoring resident dignity and rights, and the nurse turnover rate here is 65.4%, which is higher than the state average, with nursing staff providing about 3.88 hours per resident per day, which falls under the state average of 4.2 hours. Gulfport Care Center has been run by Providence Care, LLC and Regional Care LLC since January 2017, with David Flippin and David Stallard active in management, while Act Investments, LLC holds most of the direct ownership with a quarter held by Medico LLC, and several family trusts make up the indirect owners. The home operates on a for-profit model and works to create a safe place for recovery or ongoing care, but the documented inspection concerns and higher nurse turnover may be important for families when considering options.
