What federal inspectors recorded in Mississippi

Mississippi has 203 facilities certified by Medicare or Medicaid, as of the CMS penalty file published October 1, 2026. CMS publishes what it fined them, when it stopped paying for new admissions, how many nursing hours they staffed, and what its inspectors wrote up. These are those records counted. A penalty is an enforcement action on a date, not a verdict on the care a resident receives today.

62%125 of 203 (62%)

Counts facilities with at least one deficiency CMS inspectors wrote up in the last 365 days. The most recent one here is dated July 27, 2026. A facility inspected and found compliant records no citation, so this is not a survey date.

These figures cover nursing homes only. CMS keeps these penalty, staffing and inspection records for Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing homes. Assisted living, memory care and home care agencies are licensed by each state under different rules, so their records are not comparable.

Each share above shows how many facilities it is based on. Where there are too few for a percentage to mean much, we show the count instead. More in our methodology.
