Our read on Magnolia Manor Of Columbus Nursing Center - East

Magnolia Manor of Columbus East, a nonprofit home with 210 beds, puts more caregivers on the floor than most places, 4.04 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Staff turnover is 33.7%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stick around. The trouble sits in its inspection record: 21 deficiencies, including five tied to abuse and two serious enough to risk harm or jeopardy, with $8,788 in fines. Weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays. Quality measures score well, but a recent November 2025 inspection and that abuse count are the things I'd ask about directly before deciding.
