51 reviews analyzed“Yazoo City Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center receives polarized feedback, with many reviewers praising the friendly staff and successful rehabilitation outcomes, while others report severe neglect and unsanitary conditions. Recent reviews from 2024 and 2025 highlight significant concerns regarding hygiene, cold food, and poor nursing care, contrasting sharply with older, highly positive testimonials.

Key Review Excerpts
“The service is sooo bad I took my dad here thinking it was good because of the stars but when they took my dad to his room it was dirty and the sheets were wet and stained like they didn’t even try to hide it the, room stinked to and they gave my dad food and he said it was cold”
“My mother was a admitted here for therapy and enjoyed everything about her stay. She thought that the staff was friendly and helpful and that therapy really helped her to get moving again.”
“If I could give this place a zero, I absolutely would. The Annex is entirely unacceptable. From the moment you enter, a terrible stench assaults you. This facility is uninhabitable for seniors.”
