The Magnolias

The Magnolias was an older facility with more than one level, but it's very nice. The people seemed to be happy and enjoyed it. My mother can't afford it. We went to the dining area, saw the menus which looked good, and talked to the cook. They had activities, and my mother likes to participate. It was laid back, there wasn't a lot of hustle and bustle, and it was quiet. They had a garden area. The staff was very open, very knowledgeable, and went out of the way to show us around.

My grandparents were residents there back in 2007 to 2008. My grandfather was only there a short time before his passing but my grandmother was there until her death in July 2008. The staff and the facility are excellent in the care that is provided. The staff grew to be family. They were always compassionate and very professional when it came to dealing with my grandmother's needs. She so enjoyed playing bingo and the different activities that were provided. The staff went far beyond their duties. They were friends to the residents. I applaud them for everything they do and could not have asked for a better place for my grandparents to have lived their final days.

Great facility! We were very happy with our choice for mom.

My mother is currently a resident and has been for the past 6+ years. I am appalled at the negative review that was given to Magnolias. That is totally NOT the experience my mother has had. My father visited her nearly every single day she has been there, well until his passing 10/30/14, and I know first hand myself what a nice, clean, and inviting place the Magnolias is. I know they have cared for my mother lovingly even when she hasn't been easy to be around. When my father passed recently, the staff cried with us, they loved him as much as they love her. When we asked if one of us girls could stay with her a few nights so she wouldn't have to be alone in her sorrow, not only did they feed us, they actually offered us another room with 2 empty beds or the option to bring another bed in her own room... At no extra charge. As for the food served, my daddy ate with her often and said the food was outstanding. The staff also makes most meals from scratch with a variety of meals served through out the week. They also accommodate my mother's diabetic needs and picky taste buds. In the next month or two we will have to move our mom out of the Magnolias because she needs to be closer to family. We only pray we are able to find a place for her as nice, kind, and caring as this place is. Please, before believing any negative comment about any facility, investigate the place yourself. Ask residents and their actual family about their experience at the facility. Don't just believe the first impression of a prospective client. It is not fair to your loved one or the facility. No place is 100% perfect 100% of the time. Maybe something was going on the day this other commenter came? Possibly. The review was just not fair or accurate for the long run. The Magnolias is wonderful!
