No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 86% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 11 findings, above the NC average of 5.6. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Magnolia Lane Nursing and Rehabilitation Center receives highly polarized reviews, with experiences ranging from compassionate, family-like care to severe allegations of neglect and poor communication. While many reviewers praise the therapy department and specific staff members for their dedication, others report significant issues with slow response times, medication management, and a lack of responsiveness from management regarding patient concerns.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Magnolia Lane are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in their field, but they also possess a genuine passion for helping their patients achieve their rehabilitation goals.”
“The staff that is there are nice but slow to respond to patient needs. Even though they meet state requirements more staff would provide quicker response times.”
“My husband has been there for about three’s months, his mind is still good but if there are complaints the management team tries to make it look as if he is confused. He’s not! Food is horrible and the managing staff only make excuses for problems there.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
