25 Miss. Code. R. 102-4.16 - Private Rooms

The policy and priority for private room assignment is as follows:

A. Contagious or infectious disease;

B. Oxygen or terminally ill resident, or a resident who would suffer a negative impact on his/her medical condition as documented by the SVNH physician.

C. Female admissions (where private room is available and female is # 1 on the waiting list and home occupancy would preclude admittance of the female); and

D. First-come first-serve basis. Any occupant of a private room, due strictly to the choosing of the resident, will be charged an additional amount per month for each month in which a private room is occupied, regardless of length of occupancy. Raid amount will be determined by the Board.

E. Private room occupants in categories A, B, and/or C will vacate the private room when the conditions(s) and/or situation is resolved. Private room occupants from category O will be required to vacate the private room for category A, B, and/or C residents on a last in, first out basis. The vacated resident would be placed back at the top of the first-come first-served waiting list.
