The Mississippi State Veterans Home

They invade your life with constant paperwork and demands. Just recently they increased the cost for those paying a whooping $310.00 a month. Anyone with 70% status does not have to pay, those with less are paying for them.

My brother-in-law has been at the Kosciusko home for close to a year. The people that work there are wonderful. Many of them are Veterans and have a high level of respect for the Veterans that are living there. The interaction with the residents is everything we have hoped for, and we have the highest level of admiration for them. They have been a blessing in our lives.

I am staying here at The Mississippi State Veterans Home right now. It's an excellent place. I get three meals a day and I have a TV all the time. I enjoy myself and I get a bath once a week. I have a telephone and that's it. I can't think of anything else that I need. The staff is nice. The food has a very good variety. They do have recreation and a barber. They usually have two people in a room, and they always have service. It's very nice. They have Christmas and Thanksgiving. They also have a beer day.

My father was a resident here.His care was good until he tested positive for covid19,on May 7,2020.Daddy was put on a narcotic cough med,and he was asleep all the time.He fell trying to get to restroom.Nobody to help him..Daddy's care went downhill from then.His cell home was our lifeline to him,but he w as out of it all the time.Daddy does on June 8,2020 ,complications from covi d 19 ,lung cancer,and mental anguish!He could hardly ever get a nurse or aide to answer his call button.Daddy would cal my sister crying ..he was in pain,blind in one eye. .staff didn't even know this..I don't think they cared.Only went on his room to give med and take vitals.Daddy was neglected here and anyone who would like to dispute this..I've got a lot more...Don't trust these ppl with your loved one..My daddy had more time..because he caught the virus there..I can only see my sweet daddy at a cemetar y now..Things are shady at this place...😠😠😠

My father has been in the VA home here for a few years. The staff there have been nothing but lovely and so helpful. When I talk with them they seem to all genuinely care for all the patients. My father now has Covid 19 and they are taking such good care of him and are always so willing to give me updates. I work in the healthcare field and have seen many bad nursing homes but this one has been a pleasant surprise. Thank you to all the nurses and staff that are taking care of my dad. Lovey is one nurse there that always has such great knowledge and care for my dad - among many others.

I know its not easy caring for elderly people and I have the upmost respect for those who do, and do it well. However, it is sad to see those who disrespects the patients and even their vistors. The veterans are men and women who have sacrificed their life for the freedom of the very ones who may mistreat them while in their care! I believe this home needs a good leader that will set forth a job description for each person caring for each resident. This way you would all know your duties and the residents would have the treatment they deserve!
