Yazoo City Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits in Yazoo City, close to both the dialysis center and Baptist Hospital, which makes it pretty convenient for folks who might need hospital care or dialysis nearby, and when you look at the place, you'll find they've got 180 beds, even though some listings talk about 120 or 155 certified, so you might want to check how many are available, and while they do have private, studio, and semi-private companion rooms, they can also take in couples who wish to live together, and pets are allowed, which is a comfort for many people. The facility admits residents any time, day or night, and tries to offer care for people who need help long-term or just for short-term recovery, and you'll see a team that provides a wide range of services from orthopedic, neurological, cardiac, pulmonary, wound, and respiratory care, along with rehabilitation and round-the-clock nursing-telemedicine and memory care, too, for those who have Alzheimer's or other needs, and you'll notice their staff works to provide individualized care plans. There's an effort to make things feel like home, with activities and amenities, plus some supportive services for daily living.
Yazoo City Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is managed by Heather Minchew, Francis Kirley, and Nexion Health, Inc., since 2018, and they're also affiliated with Consulate Health Care family, so there's some backing from larger networks. The nurse turnover rate is pretty high, at 48.2%, but staff provide an average of 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, and on a daily basis, the residency is about 132 people which fills a good portion of the beds. They have a 1-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, but also a local user rating of 9.7 out of 10, which means people in Yazoo City tend to rate it highly compared to other local options, but it's important to note there have been 32 deficiencies reported in inspections, including ones related to care and safety, such as not giving full help with daily activities (F0677) or not always keeping areas free of hazards (F0689), plus at least one infection-related deficiency, and a recent complaint with a documented deficiency. The government has marked it as a Special Focus Facility Candidate due to serious quality issues in its history, even though it hasn't been formally flagged yet.
The center does try to cover the basics and offer access to healthcare and support, with admissions open 24/7, and services like skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, Alzheimer's and memory care, rehabilitation (including daily and wound care), and specialized rehabilitation offerings, so families often pick it for these reasons, but it's wise to consider both the services and the history of quality checks when looking at this facility. The staff talk about doing their best to provide comfort and compassion, and the goal's to help residents keep up their quality of life, even though, like anywhere, there have been ups and downs along the way.
