Is Lakeland Community Care Center a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 2 out of 5 stars overall, below the Mississippi average of 2.8. Inspectors issued 30 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty, including $8,424 in fines, in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 4 out of 5; for long-term residents, 5 out of 5.

Staffing

Nursing staff spend about 3.97 hours per resident per day at Lakeland Community Care Center, about the same as the Mississippi median of 4.00 (US median: 3.72). About 0.30 of those hours are from registered nurses. On weekends it falls to 3.14 hours, 21% below its all-week average. Ask how weekends are staffed. 58.2% of nursing staff left within a year (Mississippi median 44.1%).

Paying for care at Lakeland Community Care Center: Medicare and Medicaid

Lakeland Community Care Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Mississippi's income and asset rules. Being certified doesn't guarantee a Medicaid bed is open, so ask whether the home accepts residents whose Medicaid application is still pending.

In 2026 Medicare covers days 1–20 in full after the Part A deductible ($1,736 per benefit period); for days 21–100 you pay $217 a day; after day 100 you pay all costs. Medicare doesn't pay for long-term custodial care. Medicare's coverage rules.
