These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 49% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. 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 Manor of Columbus Nursing Center presents a highly polarized experience, with families either praising the compassionate, friendly staff or reporting severe neglect and communication failures.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father has been a resident for several months now. Before moving to Magnolia Manor, he had been at other facilities in the area. Those experiences were nothing short of horrible for my Dad and our family. Magnolia Manor isn't the newest or the biggest, but I will say that the staff if amazing.”
“My mother died in this place and it was terrible. She was hospitalized twice and NO ONE called to give a status update either time, and the second time they admitted to not even knowing which hospital she was in.”
“The building is not the newest, but the care she received was great. She said the staff was really nice and the therapists worked hard to get her to where she could go home.”
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.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
