CareQED Analysis

Walter B Crook Nursing Facility is a 60-bed nursing home in Ruleville, Mississippi. It holds a 3-star CMS overall rating. Total nurse staffing is 5.3 hours per resident day, above the Mississippi average of 4.1. Its most recent inspection, in November 2025, cited 7 deficiencies, one of them severe.

This facility’s nurse staffing stands out as stronger than typical for the state, which can support more hands-on care. However, a recent inspection cited multiple care and infection-control problems, so it would be reasonable to ask how the facility has addressed the infection-prevention citation and the related care-plan and pressure-ulcer issues.
