What this means for your family

This facility is an excellent choice for short-term physical therapy, as the rehab team is highly skilled and effective. However, families should be extremely cautious regarding long-term or high-acuity care; please verify current staffing ratios and ensure you have a plan to provide supplemental oversight, as many families report significant delays in basic assistance.

Key Review Excerpts

Within a week the exceptional rehab team at Magnolia Ridge had my Nana walking again. It was a miracle but shows what a true caring and committed team can do to help patients and residents THRIVE.

Memory care family member · 2024★★★★★

My grandmother was in active kidney failure while staying there. Earlier that day, the nurse practitioner clearly advised that she should not receive fluids. Despite this, the doctor later ordered fluids.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★☆☆☆

The facility is beautiful. The Dr was very good & Clay in discharge was amazing. However, over a 2 week stay the care staff was all new faces on every shift, doing very basic care.

This facility has concerning patterns with families filing complaints that triggered inspections about infection control, medication management, and care quality. The most recurring issues involve resident assessment and care planning, infection control, and medication services, with infection control deficiencies appearing across multiple surveys including complaint-triggered ones. While all violations show correction dates, the repeated nature of core care issues and multiple family complaints suggest ongoing challenges with fundamental care standards that families should investigate thoroughly before considering placement.
