Edgewood Health and Rehab, located at 205 Byram Parkway in Byram, MS, is a licensed nursing home and rehabilitation center with Medicare and Medicaid certification, and it's operated by Trend Consultants LLC with Rita Kelly as the owner. The facility is considered a Skilled Nursing Facility and provides both short-term rehab and long-term skilled or intermediate care for frail residents who need a high level of nursing support, and with 119 certified beds and an average of about 114 residents daily, it stays busy most days, and out of those 119 beds, 60 are designated as skilled nursing beds. Management has stayed the same since 2003, and Edgewood has been cited for a number of deficiencies-there have been 38 reported in inspections, including those related to quality of life and care (F0676), resident assessment and care planning (F0656), and abuse, neglect, or exploitation (F0600), and there have also been two infection-related deficiencies noted, which are tracked in infection-control and complaint reports. Nurse turnover sits at 60.4% which is higher than the state average, but nurse staffing hours per resident per day is 4.41, just a bit above Mississippi's average.
Residents get a range of services, including in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and specialized nursing supports like wound care (including Wound Vac), hospice, palliative care, IV therapy, behavioral management, ostomy and catheter care, pain management, and programs for diabetes, dialysis, incontinence, and even some support for mental health. The center is equipped to handle stroke recovery, help with community transition, and offers treatments like balance and gait training, fall safety, strength and conditioning, and restorative care. For meals and nutrition, there's a registered dietitian planning meals, physician visits happen in-house, and pharmacy needs are monitored through monthly reviews, while podiatry and dental care are also available. Edgewood's direct care rooms come with Free DIRECTV, and there are private or semi-private rooms, with most short-term residents getting their own space and bathroom, while married couples can choose suites with private bedrooms and a shared area.
The Memory Care Unit here operates separately, has 20 beds, and features all private rooms, its own dining and living rooms, and a courtyard that only memory care residents can use, and the whole campus, built in 2017, has a spacious feel with a large dining room, activity room, big chapel, several sitting areas, and a courtyard-about what you'd expect from a modern rehab and nursing center. Seniors will find planned daily activities, an in-house beauty and barber service, an emergency generator for safety, and meals designed by staff. Edgewood Health and Rehab shows its focus in health and rehabilitation, serving people who need both recovery after hospital stays and long-term care, and it stands with both its strengths in varied care services and its challenges shown in the number and type of past deficiencies reported.
