Data insights
Quality ratings
On Care Compare (data as of April 2026), Bedford Alzheimer'S Care Center carries an overall CMS quality rating of 4 out of 5 stars. That figure rolls up three sub-ratings tracked separately: health inspection (4/5), staffing (4/5), and quality measures (2/5).
What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.
Size and setting
Located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, this facility operates 60 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 59 residents - an occupancy rate of about 98%. The facility is classified under for profit - limited liability company ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 98% occupancy, this facility is running near full capacity, worth confirming current bed availability directly before visiting.
Same-ownership peers
Within Mississippi, Bedford Alzheimer'S Care Center is one of 68 for profit - limited liability company nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the for profit - limited liability company-segment average of 2.4 stars, ahead of roughly 75% of same-ownership peers in the state. Comparing a facility against its own ownership segment holds the business model roughly constant, which helps isolate facility-level performance from the staffing and reinvestment patterns that differ across for-profit, non-profit, and government operators.
Inspection record

CMS has levied 1 enforcement penalty - civil money penalties or denials of payment, during the same window. A handful of documented findings is common even among well-run facilities; the F-tag scope and severity codes on the full report distinguish isolated paperwork issues from resident-harm findings.
Where these figures come from
The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
