PASS CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND REHABILIATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Pass Christian Health and Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating poor quality and significant concerns about care. It ranks #178 out of 200 facilities in Mississippi, placing it in the bottom half, and #5 out of 6 in Harrison County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility is worsening, with issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 6 in 2025. Staffing is a major concern here, with a low rating of 1 out of 5 stars and a turnover rate of 82%, far above the state average of 47%, suggesting staff may not be familiar with residents. There have been some serious incidents, including a failure to identify and treat pressure ulcers that progressed to Stage 3 for one resident, and not administering IV antibiotics as prescribed for another resident. Additionally, there was a failure to check the placement of a feeding tube before use, which could lead to complications. While there are some aspects of care that need improvement, the high turnover and rising number of issues raise red flags for families considering this facility.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Pass Christian Health And Rehabiliation Center?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "How do you ensure continuity of care given staff turnover, and what is your staff retention strategy?" "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" These questions are particularly relevant given the facility's high staff turnover rate and the below-average staffing rating.
Is Pass Christian Health And Rehabiliation Center Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, PASS CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND REHABILIATION CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 1-star overall rating and ranks #100 of 100 nursing homes in Mississippi. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Pass Christian Health And Rehabiliation Center Stick Around?
Staff turnover at PASS CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND REHABILIATION CENTER is high. At 82%, the facility is 36 percentage points above the Mississippi average of 46%. Registered Nurse turnover is particularly concerning at 100%. RNs handle complex medical decisions and coordinate care — frequent RN changes can directly impact care quality. High turnover means new staff may not know residents' individual needs, medications, or preferences. It can also be disorienting for residents, especially those with dementia who rely on familiar faces. Families should ask: What is causing the turnover? What retention programs are in place? How do you ensure care continuity during staff transitions?

PASS CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND REHABILIATION CENTER has been fined $8,224 across 1 penalty action. This is below the Mississippi average of $33,161.

Families should ask what specific issues led to these fines and confirm they've been resolved.
Is Pass Christian Health And Rehabiliation Center on Any Federal Watch List?
PASS CHRISTIAN HEALTH AND REHABILIATION CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
