What the CMS Record Reveals About Magnolia Wellness Center

According to CMS Nursing Home Compare, Magnolia Wellness Center ranks #361 of 479 rated nursing homes in MO on overall stars (tie-broken by health+staffing+quality, then fewer fines). Magnolia Wellness Center operates 120 certified beds in Saint Louis, MO with approximately 78 residents currently in care, and carries a CMS overall rating of 1 out of 5 stars (health inspection 1★ · staffing 1★ · quality 4★).

The inspection file contains 50 deficiency records from recent surveys, of which 8 reached the actual-harm or immediate-jeopardy threshold on the CMS scope-and-severity grid. CMS enforcement records show 4 penalties totaling $210K levied against this facility. Reported nurse staffing runs 3.14 total hours per resident day (national average 3.86); RN hours specifically are 0.25 per resident day.

Classified as "For profit - Individual" ownership and operating as a "Medicare and Medicaid" provider, Magnolia Wellness Center falls into a category where comparative context matters. Reported nursing staff turnover at this facility is 63.6% (CMS payroll-based measure).

Why sub-scores and the CMS methodology matter

The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results, staffing levels, and quality measures. Because CMS caps the overall score at the health-inspection tier and then adjusts up or down based on staffing and quality, the sub-scores often tell a sharper story than the headline star count alone, a 3-star facility with weak inspection history reads differently from one held back by thin staffing.

National research consistently shows that ownership structure, staffing hours, and turnover are the three operational levers that correlate most strongly with resident outcomes, ratings and fines are lagging indicators of those upstream choices. The staffing metric in particular is the one most strongly tied to resident outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.

For families evaluating this facility, the CMS record should be read alongside a site visit, direct conversation with current residents and their families, and review of the state health department's most recent inspection report, the star rating is a starting point, not a verdict. All data on this page is sourced from CMS Provider Data and the Nursing Home Compare program; always verify the same record on Medicare.gov Care Compare and with the facility or your state survey agency before making placement decisions.
