Longwood Community Living Center is a for-profit, individually owned nursing facility located in Booneville, Mississippi. With a capacity of 64 beds, it operates as a small-sized care home focused on serving both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term residents. While not part of a continuing care retirement community, Longwood Community Living Center participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, making it accessible to a diverse population of seniors requiring specialized care and support.
The facility provides care tailored to individuals recovering from hospital stays, such as those requiring rehabilitation after strokes, heart attacks, infections, or accidental injuries. For short-term rehabilitation, the center offers an average of 3 hours and 50 minutes of nursing staff time per resident each day. Approximately 45 percent of short-term rehabilitation residents are able to return home after their stay, and the rate of residents experiencing falls resulting in major injury is notably low. Infections leading to hospitalization occur in about 6.7 percent of short-term cases, while emergency room visits during rehabilitation stays have been recorded at 13.5 percent.
For long-term care, Longwood Community Living Center supports residents who need daily help with medical and non-medical needs such as medication administration, dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. The center maintains a similar level of nurse staffing for these residents, with 3 hours and 50 minutes allotted per patient each day. The ability of residents to retain self-care functions is relatively strong, with 85.3 percent able to manage common daily activities without significant assistance. The administration of flu vaccinations reaches just over 62 percent of the resident population, and emergency room visit rates are tracked at 2.3 visits per 1,000 patient days. However, consistent staffing between weekdays and weekends has been noted as an area for improvement.
Longwood Community Living Center is routinely inspected for health, fire, and safety standards, ensuring ongoing attention to the quality of its physical environment and care practices. Past inspection results highlight areas of low potential for harm, including maintaining residents’ personal and medical records confidential, providing a safe and homelike environment, the implementation of comprehensive care plans, assistance with activities of daily living, management of psychotropic medication use, and adherence to professional standards in food procurement, storage, and preparation. These findings are indicative of the center’s ongoing efforts to deliver a supportive and comfortable setting for its residents.
The facility’s payment participation in both Medicare and Medicaid, along with its location in Booneville, make it a feasible choice for families seeking skilled nursing care for their loved ones. Though not affiliated with a hospital or Alzheimer’s special care program, Longwood Community Living Center offers core services that enable residents to maintain stability, safety, and a sense of community throughout their stay.
