Hattiesburg Health & Rehab Center has a middle-range Medicare overall rating. Strengths include friendly and welcoming staff. Some reviewers note concerns about poor hygiene and cleanliness of residents (e.g., odors, unwashed hair) (mentioned by 4 reviewers).

Families considering this facility should weigh the frequent praise for staff demeanor against these significant concerns regarding quality of care.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is top tier!”
“There very nice people but the only thing I did not like was the fact that every time I come up there they never have my grandmother's facial hairs shaved and stuff and she smells like pee all the time”
“Worst nursing home. They always lie and tell you your family is fine. Amanda the charge nurse is a condescending, ignorant, oblivious and negligent.”

While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
