Magnolia Manor of Marion County is a 70-bed non-profit skilled nursing facility in Buena Vista, Georgia, which serves Marion County residents. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. The facility offers rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and memory care. Occupancy at 83 percent runs above Georgia’s 78.1 percent average and has trended upward.

All four CMS sub-ratings sit at or above Georgia’s average, producing a 3-star overall rating. Nurse hours of 4h per resident day rank 38th among 190 Georgia SNFs, and the staffing sub-rating reflects case-mix adjusted hours 33.3 percent above state benchmark. Over eight years on file, the facility averaged 3.8 deficiencies annually, 22 percent below Georgia’s 4.9 average, with no immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or enforcement actions. Two survey cycles are weightier than the averages alone. The January 2025 annual survey cited infection control failures across four residents, a 7.69 percent medication error rate, pureed food recipe not followed for 16 residents, and environmental disrepair in six rooms. The July 2023 annual survey found an abuse allegation in the Memory Care Unit that was not reported to the state, narcotic count signatures missing on 25 of 86 required entries on one cart, and psychotropic medications running beyond their 14-day stop dates for two residents. All prior deficiencies corrected on revisit. Complaint investigations across the window have been largely unsubstantiated or substantiated without deficiencies.

The community fits Marion County older adults who seek long-term skilled nursing or memory care. It has staffing above the Georgia average and a compliance record that has generally stayed below the state deficiency rate.
