Nice place, would recommend,but needs improvements.
I believe they need to reassess their scoring of level of care and improve their menu/food. They advertise it's made from scratch....doesn't taste like it. The level of care scoring is off and they are assessing at a higher level and not providing care for the level they're charging

The staff are extremely helpful and compassionate! They seemed to have a lot of fun activities but unfortunately my mom did not really want to participate! As far as the food the few times I have eaten there it was really good and the staff was always kind!

My mother has a clean place to live. She has friends to socialize with daily. Activities to participate in and be apart of. My mother loves living at Magnolia Place. She doesn't have to prepare meals or worry about whether she took her medicine. She was lonely living by herself. I know my mother is getting good care and is enjoying her life.

Overall very pleased. Only been there two months and I don't live in the area so so not get to see it a lot. They have been great with communication with the family. My limited experience is that the staff have been friendly and helpful.

The dining experience at Magnolia Place is excellent. The meals are prepared with care, offering a variety of healthy, flavorful options (some may say More Salt). The staff is attentive to dietary needs, ensuring that residents with specific health concerns (such as diabetes or food allergies) are accommodated no matter what. Meals are served in a spacious, well-lit dining area, and residents have the option of ordering room tray service, if they prefer. The food quality is generally quite good, with fresh ingredients and balanced menus. Any suggestions you make with the kitchen are all considered and if they are within budget the suggestion then becomes an Option

I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and support offered by the staff at Magnolia Place Assisted Living. The staff makes the residents feel like family, offering warmth, compassion, and professionalism every step of the way. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for all residents. The wide variety of activities and events keeps their residents engaged and active. The meals are delicious, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels safe, respected, and cared for. Magnolia Place has created a true community where families and residents can feel confident and at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend Magnolia Place to anyone looking for a caring, high-quality assisted living experience.

I found myself suddenly having to find a safe place to place my mother with not a lot of time to make a decision. I had about two weeks. My mother had fallen and could no longer live on her own. I checked a few places out but Magnolia Place seemed like the best fit fit her. She likes it there. She has things to do, people to visit with and share meals with. There are lots of options, meal choices. She is cared for and I have peace of mind. They have a van that can provide transportation for those using a wheel chair and having doctor’s appointments. Magnolia Place is good about keeping family informed about residents health and safety. The buildings are clean, well cared for and nicely decorated. Each week there are themes and activities to look forward to participating in. My mother enjoys the exercise class and game times. She always has dinner companions. My mother really enjoys living at Magnolia Place.

The administration was responsive when there was a technical problem. The frontline staff are gentle and respectful with the residents. They have great communication with the residents. Mom loved the activities that were designed to meet people at various cognitive and physical levels. The food was good while the memory care dining area is regularly cleaned. When Mom died, I took a bunch of treats to show our appreciation. I highly recommend Magnolia Place especially for memory care.

I would actually give the friendliness of the staff a 10 if I could. The staff is wonderful. There's a lot of different things our family likes the most about the community. The activities, the kindness of the staff. It's just a great place for seniors to live. My mom is thriving there.

This community is the best for my mom. The staff are very nice and friendly and really make the community feel like a home. They have different activities to keep the residents engaged. Happy hour every Friday with entertainment and families are invited. The nurse [name removed] is the kindest hearted person, she always made sure to make my mom feel seen, heard and cared for. I would definitely recommend this assisted living for anyone looking for a home away from home.

My loved one was previously a resident at Magnolia Place and everything was great for her at this facility. Magnolia Place has a wonderful atmosphere with residents being well cared for and happy, and all the different types of the staff: Med Techs and Resident Attendants, Maintenance and Cleaning, Activity Coordinators, and Front Desk and Administrators. All being very warm, loving, kind and helpful. They really try to make the residents feel like Magnolia is their home. I would recommend Magnolia Place to others.

We love Magnolia Place. It has been perfect for our Mother. We picked this community, because it was close to our house so we can visit regularly. We have had and continue to have great experiences with MP. Staff and other residents have been so welcoming and kind. Mother loves her apartment and all the activities-so that makes it so nice for us. I would recommend this to anyone who wants their family member to have lots of friends and activities

I would highly recommend Magnolia Place to any of my friends! They made a large number of promises when we first toured the facility - promises that I was skeptical that they could deliver on - like that they overstaff so that they can give personal care to every resident, that they actually 'care' for each resident like family, that they go above and beyond to make sure each resident is cared for. After moving my mom in, we found 100% of the promises to be completely lived up to from the front desk, to the maintenance crew, to the nursing staff, to the restaurant staff! They continue to exceed our expectations with the level of personal care for our mother. Our mom was very sad about having to move out of her house and into a 'facility'. She was very nervous about meeting new people and was anxious about such a big change in her life. We were concerned that she would isolate and stay alone in her room all the time so we asked the staff to go get her and encourage her to go to all of the activities. The staff did just that and now our mom is LOVING living there! She is having the best time of her life! She feels very comfortable being around all of the staff and other residents. She always has something to do and is now actually an Ambassador for the facility. The amount of thriving that my mom is having is beyond our hopes and wildest dreams. We were hoping that she would be well cared for, but what we got was SO MUCH MORE!! They are kind to the residents. This was so important for our mom to come out of her shell. I am not there all the time because I live out of town so I don't know where you can improve. From what I saw when I was there - there is nothing they can improve on. The meals are good. There are daily specials and then menu items that residents and guests can order off of. The staff has always been very accommodating during my visits.

Both the executive staff and the hands-on staff are wonderfully responsive. This is why I give Magnolia Place such high marks, especially for people in memory care. The facility caters especially to veterans and is not as ideal for college professors, great for my mom not so much for my dad. Magnolia Place is a beautiful, small facility. They do an especially good job with memory care. Both executive and hands-on staff are highly responsive. I appreciate the vibe of compassion that is here.

It's very clean. My loved one has an apartment, which includes a microwave, and refrigerator. They are pretty consistent with laundry, and housekeeping. The staff is very nice, and is always smiling, and friendly. They greet each other, and talk to residents on a first name basis. It has been nothing but great things. They have a daily men, and encourage residents to go to the dining room. My loved one goes for breakfast. If it's something that, the residents don't like on the menu, they will accomodate them. They also, have a daily calendar with activities, which is delivered to the room.

This move has been the best thing for my mom. She is always out socializing and participating in the activities that they have going on. They take really good care of her and we really appreciate all of the staff members.
