Magnolia Court

Reviewer RC#0130b

Magnolia Court was nice. When we went there, there was supposed to be an appointment scheduled for us but it was never scheduled. When I got there, they were surprised because there was nobody in the business office. So the receptionist took me around and she was very friendly. The showers were updated and it was just pretty. We looked at studios and you have to bring your own furniture. You only have a microwave and a small fridge so you eat in the dining room. They had a game room, a movie room, and bingo, too.

I toured Magnolia Court, and I thought the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. The facility was clean, and it gave a warm and comforting vibe. The rooms were a decent size, and they had a window that faced into the middle courtyard, which was pretty. The view was good, but it was just into the facility. The rooms were adjoining rooms, there were two sides. Two residents would stay in each room with a kind of walkway in between the two. That's the reason why I decided that we wouldn't use that, because my father-in-law wouldn't like that. There were no private rooms available when I toured. The common dining area was beautiful. It was very welcoming. It had a lot of ambient light, and it was spacious. The grounds were nicely kept, it has a lot of greenery, and safe for the residents to enjoy without fear of them getting out. The facility was gated. There was a community area, and they had some sort of game going on where the residents were out of their rooms and partaking in some social activities.

We were greeted very nicely at Magnolia Court. Everybody was kind. Our guide was the chef for the kitchen and he showed us around and explained everything to us. It was pretty informative. We liked it. It was clean, and it looked pretty inviting and comfortable for everybody. We put a deposit on a room, but my parents' plans changed and they decided not to do it. It was the first one we looked at, we liked it, and we felt comfortable that they would like it too and that's just kind of how it went. The program director and the supervisor were very nice and informative. They made us a four-pack of homemade muffins and we took them home and had those.

I went to Magnolia Court last September. The person who gave me the tour was very helpful and friendly. There was a very convivial group of seniors in the assisted living portion, who were hanging out together and seeing each other regularly. That was very appealing, but the memory care area people seemed very alone. They're people with Alzheimer's, and they don't have a lot of stimulation during the day. There are activities periodically, but mostly they seem very lonely, either in their rooms or where they go to eat. Everything seemed really good in terms of upkeep and cleanliness. I was able to visit at least one room that one of the residents was very proud of and decorated really nicely with lots of personal belongings. The rooms were very nice. It's just the level of stimulation and social interaction is fairly limited for people who have Alzheimer's.

I put a deposit down on a room in Magnolia Court. I put a deposit down the same day I toured it because it just felt so right to me. It's clean and quiet. They have lots of services and lots of activities. The head chef has a meeting once a month on Mondays, where the residents can get together and request what they would like to eat. They have transportation. They accept small dogs. They have a fenced-in courtyard, where your little dog can run around. The staff was polite, good natured, and very helpful. As a matter of fact, they just knew that I had an appointment at 3:30. He baked some muffins for me. I looked at the menu and from what I've seen, it looked really good. I'm getting a studio. I have my own furniture.

I picked Magnolia Court for my father because of the individual room, and it's more like an apartment setting than a hospital setting. They're very easy to work with and very thorough with the information they gave me. The place is very clean and well organized. The rooms are very nice. They have very good front end staff, so they're very easy to get questions or answers if you have anything in regards to the bill payment or care needs. They were very receptive and easy to work with. I have not eaten the food, but my dad said it's all right. He's not very hungry because he's still dealing with health issues. He says the desserts are delicious, but he's not much of an eater when he's not doing well. They have quite a few things. They have a movie theater type area, an activities room (where they do bingo and things like that), and day trips to different areas (like going to Cache Creek Casino to having a luncheon at one of the local restaurants). They have quite a few activities that they plan out for the people living there. Magnolia Court was the most receptive and looked the best that I had seen from group homes.

I toured Magnolia Court for my sister. I didn't like that it is downplayed, and they just hand you the brochure. The one who assisted us was the son of the owners, and he doesn't really know the details of it. It was very weird. It was clean and everything, but it was not homey. It was kind of a boxy looking building, and it is a little expensive too.

We chose Magnolia Court for my mother because of the services provided there and because the people that work there seem very nice. Her room is a good size and decent. The food and the dining area are good. They have various games, there's a series of events that occur throughout the day, games, cards, and dancing.

My mother is in the memory care at Magnolia Court. We like it because it has an assisted living so she can go over to the other side when we're there for meals. It seems very professional. The staff is caring and open to any suggestions. It's comfortable and they go out of their way, especially in the memory care. Her room is shared so we hung a curtain to separate it from the other side, but we wish it had a wall. They have two activities people all day long in the memory care. They play bingo, they do exercises every morning, play cards, there are brownie socials, matinees in the theater with popcorn, canvas painting, happy hour with music, dominoes, and Catholic services every Thursday. The meals are amazing. The new owners are going to be renovating the whole place.

We looked at four different communities, and this was the best. I had a good feeling about it. It's clean. The people were nice and made a good impression. The staff members who toured us around were fine and answered all of our questions.

It was lovely. It was a very nice facility and the caregivers were just very nice to deal with and very helpful. The rooms were very nice. We looked into a studio for my dad and it was very roomy, very clean and the bathroom was what I really liked because it would be very easy for him to go into. It had a very nice feeling to it. It had a little kitchenette with a small refrigerator and a microwave. The facility itself was very pretty. They had some outside access where you could go for a walk, but yet you were not leaving the grounds. They had activities as far as exercises and they played games. They even had a shuttle that would pick you up to take you to shopping.

It had a lot of activities. The rooms were quite nice. In the locked part of the facility, you had to share a room, which you get used to. I liked the place; it was satisfactory and very good.

My mom-in-law was here for about 10 days when she was back in the hospital. Their staff is excellent. It’s a very loving, caring, and wonderful place. They are also very family oriented and very warm. The grounds are beautiful. When you go in there, you feel very welcome. They do have activities, but since she was only there for 10 days, I am not that familiar. They have a library, an activity room, lunch rooms, and plenty of place for you to sit privately and talk. They also have a big gathering room where everybody can go together and participate in songs and entertainment. Their food is wonderful. They have a variety and very good taste.

My stepfather is at this community. There are a lot of military individuals there, and the ratio of men to women is about 50/50 which to my understanding is a bit unusual. Everything so far has been positive. He seems to be functioning well there, and I think he is getting good care; so far so good.

My mom is here, and it is very nice. She likes and enjoys the food. They have activities. They take them out to the movies, to the casino, and to eat. They have a schedule of what they do for each month. The staff is very nice and open. They let me know if she is out of things, if she needs more things, and how she's doing. They are very informative, and everyone is very friendly.
