Floy Dyer Nursing Home sits at 1000 E Madison St, Houston, Mississippi, and runs as a for-profit facility under a Limited Liability Company, working mostly with seniors who need nursing care, assisted living, or help after surgery or illness, and there's this place called Floy Dyer Manor on the same property for assisted living services too. The place holds 66 beds for Medicare and Medicaid residents, but only 52 or so beds are usually full, and it's been part of Medicaid since 2004, taking both Medicare and Medicaid patients and helping people with things like moving from a bed to a wheelchair, insulin management, and all-day supervision, which means there's always staff ready for emergencies or simple daily needs, like bathing, dressing, and getting to meals. This home got a D on its overall grade not too long ago and an overall rating of 1 out of 5-mostly because of lower scores for health audits and quality checks-but they did get noticed for having no recent severe deficiencies and took home the Top Nursing Home in Mississippi Award in 2019, so things seem to go up and down from year to year. They got 3.51 nurse hours per resident per day, including registered nurses, LPNs, and CNAs, and average about 0.31 staff hours per resident outside those nurses, so you're likely to see a lot of medical staff around-doctors, nurse practitioners, a pharmacist on the team, and specialists for things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as dietitian and feeding support, plus therapeutic help for cardiac and wound care.
Floy Dyer Nursing Home hasn't had any major fines or substantiated complaints lately, and CMS flagged it for possible abuse or neglect, but inspections lately haven't found anything posing an immediate threat to safety, and they also have both resident and family councils for people who want a say in care or daily routines. Life at the home means access to straightforward amenities like a resident-run activities program, family and resident councils to address concerns, laundry and housekeeping, Wi-Fi and cable TV, a garden and outdoor paths for walking, rooms with private bathrooms or kitchenettes, a library, an activity room, and regular programs to get folks moving or involved, with things like music, movies, games, and arts and crafts, sometimes even outings for fishing or casino trips. The staff pays attention to common health needs, with diabetes support, incontinence care, non-ambulatory help, daily meals cooked by a professional chef who can handle allergies and diabetic diets, and different dining options in a shared room or restaurant-style. The home runs as part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, letting people access more therapies and move between levels of care if needed, so short-term rehab, long-term care, hospice, and respite stays are all offered under the same roof, with supervision at all times and a sprinkler system for fire safety.
The rooms and suites are simple but have air conditioning, emergency alert systems, telephones, move-in help, and sometimes furnished spots for independence; you'll find a movie theater, fitness and spa room, outdoor spaces, a dedicated arts room, and lots of indoor common areas for socializing or group devotionals. Staff will help with things like eating, bathing, or getting dressed, and daily life includes meals made on-site, education or wellness classes, family support, and transportation. The home stands near health services like clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and churches, and ranks lower among facilities in the state and nearby towns, sitting in the bottom 10 percent for Mississippi as a whole and near the bottom for Houston. Staff provide 24-hour help, and while nurse quality scores change year by year, there's no history of major recent problems or fines, so things keep steady for most residents. Overall, Floy Dyer Nursing Home mixes basic senior care needs with a few extras, and residents see regular staff and activities meant to make daily life a little easier and more social, though the quality and ratings can move around quite a bit depending on how things go each year.
