Magnolia Manor of Midway is a 169-bed non-profit skilled nursing facility in Midway, Georgia, serving Liberty County residents. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are welcome. Located on Coastal Highway 17, the community offers memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services.
Staffing is the facility’s clearest strength; a 5-star CMS staffing sub-rating reflects case-mix adjusted hours 77.8 percent above Georgia average, placing the facility 35th among 190 Georgia SNFs statewide. Nurse hours of 4h 7m per resident day run 14 percent above 3h 37m state benchmark. However, Quality Measures run 33.6 percent below Georgia’s average. The inspection data on file covers 2017 to July 2019, averaging 15.3 deficiencies per year against a 4.9 Georgia average, but that record predates the current CMS ratings by over six years, limiting what it can confirm about present-day compliance. No immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions exist. The heaviest year on record was 2018–2019, with two consecutive life safety surveys documenting persistent fire system deficiencies, including an overdue kitchen hood suppression inspection, non-compliant fire alarm components, and a patio where oxygen cylinders were stored without sprinkler coverage, alongside recurring care plan and fall assessment gaps. All prior deficiencies corrected on revisit. The facility operates under the Magnolia Manor name but earlier inspection records reference the community as Woodlands Health Care. Occupancy stood at 67 percent at the last recorded inspection in May 2019, below Georgia’s 78.1 percent average.
The facility’s staffing depth and non-profit status orient it toward Liberty County residents who need long-term skilled nursing or memory care with strong direct-care staffing ratios.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

This home is ranked 35th out of 190 homes in Georgia. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 40m per day | ▲ 38% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 5m per day | ▲ 16% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 8m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 9m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 20m per day | ▲ 7% State avg: 3h 6m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 20m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 8, 2019, found no deficiencies despite a partially substantiated complaint. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to fire safety issues, including emergency lighting, fire suppression system inspections, and sprinkler coverage, as well as concerns with resident care planning and infection surveillance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one partially substantiated complaint that did not result in deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made some improvements over time, correcting previously cited deficiencies, though fire safety issues recurred intermittently.
