Magnolia Manor

The floors and bathrooms really need attention. The cost is a bit high. I think that it should include housekeeping and at least 1 meal a day. Make it clear to families what independent living rent includes. I believe that it was clear to me but not to my elderly aunt.

After 65 years of marriage and the last fifteen of those taking care of her husband (who had a stroke), our mom decided after dad passed away she no longer wanted to be at their home alone. She desired to be where she had activities and friends. After looking at several options, she chose Magnolia Manor. After several months there, she has adapted well to her surroundings. She loves the daily activities such as Bingo, crafts, and devotion time. She has made new friends and enjoys their company. She is an avid card player, so she has joined a couple of Bridge clubs at Magnolia and the community. We only live ten minutes away from Magnolia. She loves the independence of driving out to our house to visit and play with her great grandchildren. She also likes being close to great shopping, a local pharmacy, and a choice of grocery stores. We feel great sense of relief knowing she is happy and cared for at Magnolia. The residents there genuinely care for each other.

My mom says the food quality is hit or miss.....and also we both were under the impression that breakfast, lunch, and dinner were served. Only to find out only lunch is served. And find it odd that residents are allowed to take their lunch back to their apartment but are NOT allowed to take a beverage back. The property is very beautiful and has security day and night. The maintenance staff are very helpful and nice. Again about food service, no staff members will bring a resident their meals if they are stuck in their apartment for medical reasons or mobility issues, I feel they should have staff for such occurrences.

The staff is great so helpful and caring! The facility is very convenient for family to visit. It is also very clean, especially when my parents moved in!

Like - I liked the meals and the cleanliness of the facility Improvement - I just wish it offered more nursing assistance to the residents.

She is a lot of fun and full of ideas to entertain us.

I have been here for 3 and a half years. Since Covid, we have been understaffed. It has been very hard on them but they have done an excellent job.

Have enjoyed living here [time frame removed].

We live out of state and wanted her to move closer to us, but she seems to be thriving at Magnolia Manor of Americus. The family chose it because it was close to other family and friends and her church. It was the best option for her. She is doing tai chi, and she plays bridge and is still being able to continue to enjoy her swimming at the community. They have a small library and book mobile and community center nearby. She drives her own car but they do offer transportion. The meals they serve is a country type fare, it seems to suit her well. It is an older community and they are in the process of redoing the carpet. She is happy and enjoying life. It is a good fit for her.

My husband toured this community and he said the people were all friendly and nice. It was too far to easily travel to see my sister and that's why we chose another option.

As far as I know everything has been working out for mom. She has even started taking on different jobs and doing things to keep here busy. She likes the community and the staff and I believe that she has found her place to stay.

My tour of this community was an alright one. From what I saw everything looks pretty well maintained. The staff was kind and courteous. They answered my questions and everyone was very friendly. It was a pleasant tour, but not the community for me.

Since my Mother needed more help than independent living but not as much as assisted, the catered living is just right. The employees are kind and caring. The small screened in porch is just right for her to sit outside when she feels like it. The common areas are beautiful and inviting.

Overall I think things have gone very well at Mangolia Manor! It's a beautiful, clean, well kept facility, and the care staff all seem very friendly! The place has a real comfortable family atmosphere! It's a smaller community, so each resident really gets a lot of attention. However, I do think they could be clearer and more communicative about how their billing and pricing structure works. What we thought was a down payment on the first months rent ended up being some sort of unrelated community fee.

We like it. My loved one likes it. She says the food here is wonderful. They have an activities calendar. They were less expensive for more services here. The price was locked in and there aren't a lot of extra or hidden fees. Every room in the apartment is wheelchair accessible. They call a lot and let us know every thing that is going on. It would be nice if it was a little bit smaller of a community.

They did an excellent job on helping my mom get settled and get her involved. I think that they need to make a packet for the family that goes over the orientation and let them know how the transportation works, I wish I had a better handle on that in order to coach my mom since we live so far away from the facility.

Beautiful setting with big oaks with lot of Spanish moss. Facility is nice with all apts including assisted living. Only 20 units for assisted and some need the tubs changed out. Residents seemed very content. Even had a heated pool with bars to hang onto. Back of building sets on a lovely pond with great outdoor space. Wish they had more assisted living. Price good and no entry fees. Considering.

The cleanliness is good, no problems at all, the staff is excellent, there are one or two things going on everyday. Everyone's friendly, that's for certain, if I didn't mix well with some people there are plently of things that go on that are nice for the elderly, and I realize I'm one of them. This was the one that was closest to where I was living at the time and I wasn't feeling all that well. I don't know if they actually provide care, but they're very attentive to people and their problems and check up on people who need help. I would say it's a little expensive for what I'm getting, I'm a loaner and I feel sort of out of place here, but I'm comfortable.

We went to tour this community and after making an appointment there was no one there to meet us at the community. The person we spoke to was nice. We went on the weekend and when we arrived the office was closed. What we saw of the community looked nice. They say they offer quite a variety of activities.

They talk a lot about all the things they will do when they are "selling" you into the place, but then when you are there it is a continuous effort to try to get them to actually DO those things (laundry, medicines, bathing assistance). Usually there is some excuse about staffing issues, but it definitely gets frustrating. Some staff were wonderful and kind, others not so much. We eventually gave up on having them do medicines, because they were always messing them up. It is funny to me that they have a picture of the pool up, because it seemed like it was always out of order.
