Staffing Rating
Magnolia Ridge Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which places it in the average range compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates and cares for its residents. Looking at the individual pieces, the 3-star Health Inspection rating means state inspectors found a typical number of issues during their visits, nothing that sets off major red flags but also not a particularly clean record. The 3-star Staffing rating tells you that nurses and aides are spending an average amount of time with each resident, so care isn't stretched unusually thin, but it's not a facility where staff-to-resident ratios stand out as especially strong. The brightest spot here is the 4-star Quality Measures rating, which is above average and reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically, things like pain management, mobility, hospitalizations, and infection rates. For families, that higher quality score is meaningful because it suggests that despite staffing and inspection results that are simply middle-of-the-road, residents tend to experience reasonably good health outcomes. Overall, Magnolia Ridge is a facility worth considering, but visiting in person and asking staff questions directly would help you get a fuller picture beyond what the numbers can show.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during a day shift and an overnight shift? 2. What happens when a resident presses their call button at 2 in the morning, and how long does it usually take for someone to respond? 3. Can you show me the most recent state inspection report, and walk me through any deficiencies that were cited? 4. How do you handle it when a resident has a significant change in condition, like a fall or sudden confusion, and how quickly does the family get notified? 5. Do residents have consistent aides who work with them regularly, or does staffing rotate frequently between units and shifts? 6. What does a typical day look like for a resident who needs memory care or has limited mobility, and how do you make sure they are not just sitting alone in their room?

About CMS Star Ratings

CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.

A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
