This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 36% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 12 findings, above the MO average of 12.0. 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.
Woodland Manor Nursing Center receives highly polarized feedback, with some families praising the dedication of specific nursing and therapy staff, while many others report severe neglect and poor communication. Frequent, serious complaints include residents being left in soiled conditions, unanswered call lights, and unprofessional conduct by administrative and case management staff. Prospective families should be aware of a recurring pattern of cleanliness issues and inconsistent quality of care.

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.
