Magnolia Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation is a 156-bed nursing home in Covington, Tennessee, offering long-term care, rehabilitation services, and daily nursing support. Operating since 1992, the community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, making services accessible across a wide range of financial situations. Occupancy remains below the state average at 56.4% occupancy rate, suggesting bed availability is often easier to secure than at many comparable communities in the region.
CMS currently assigns the community a 1-star overall rating, reflecting performance that falls below Tennessee benchmarks in several key areas. Inspection records over the past seven years show 29 deficiencies across five inspections, including multiple serious and critical-level citations. The most common findings involved quality of care, resident rights, pharmacy services, abuse and neglect prevention, and environmental concerns. Several deficiencies also stemmed from complaint investigations rather than routine annual surveys. All cited issues have reportedly been corrected, and the most recent inspection was completed in September 2025.
Licensed practical nurse coverage exceeds Tennessee averages and may support stronger day-to-day hands-on care for residents. However, registered nurse coverage, certified nursing assistant hours, and overall weekend staffing levels all fall below state benchmarks. Total nursing hours per resident also trail the Tennessee average. Lower staffing levels do not necessarily determine care quality on their own, but they are an important factor for families to discuss directly with leadership, particularly for residents requiring more intensive medical oversight or assistance with daily living activities.
The community provides 24-hour nursing support along with rehabilitation therapies and licensed CNA care. The average length of stay is approximately 108 days, reflecting a blend of transitional recovery and ongoing care needs. Private-pay residents account for a notable share of new admissions, though the community continues to maintain broad access through Medicare and Medicaid participation. Its location along U.S. 51 South also offers relatively convenient access for families and visitors.
Magnolia Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation is ideal for families seeking a larger skilled nursing community in the Covington area with flexible payment options and ongoing bed availability. Its higher LPN staffing levels and broad admissions structure are meaningful advantages, particularly in markets where choices may be limited. At the same time, the community’s inspection history, staffing shortfalls in several categories, and below-average CMS rating make it important for interested families to review state inspection reports carefully and speak directly with administration about quality-improvement efforts, staffing stability, and resident care oversight.
