Mississippi: CMS Rating Breakdown
Mississippi has 202 CMS-certified nursing homes, with an average Five-Star overall rating of 2.7 out of 5 stars according to current official CMS figures. By ownership structure, the state's nursing homes consist of 157 for-profit facilities, 20 nonprofit facilities, and 25 government-operated facilities.
The Five-Star rating system carries documented limitations, and state-level averages serve as broad indicators rather than definitive assessments of individual facilities. The rating should not be construed as medical, financial, or legal advice. When making decisions about a specific nursing home, prospective residents and their families should consult each facility's dedicated Care Compare profile on the CMS website for detailed, facility-specific information.
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.

Informational only — not medical, financial, or legal advice. Senior Care by State reports official CMS Five-Star Quality data, which is a relative measure with documented limitations — not a recommendation or a guarantee that any facility is right for you. Choosing care is a personal medical and financial decision: confirm the current details with the facility directly, talk with the resident’s physician and care team, and verify ratings and coverage on Medicare.gov or with your state’s long-term-care or health agency before relying on anything here. For medical, financial, or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
