Magnolia Manor

Older, well established graduated living. Nice setting and grounds. Rooms in assisted living very homey. Visited with one resident who is very happy there. Staff and residents friendly and welcoming.

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.

Everything is going well and my mother in law is very pleased to be there. Although it's only been two months, things seem to be going very good.

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.

Mom adjusted to her new living environment within the first couple of weeks. Other residents watched out for her and helped her get into the new routine. She feels safe and comfortable in her new apartment and likes having someone wach out for her around the clock.

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.

This is the community is a little older. They need to improve the cleaning. The meals are appealing. They do have activities for those who are able to participate. I think that community could use a little up dating. I have recommended this community to friends for the good care and the value.

I had a very nice tour of this community. Everyone was very kind, and helpful. From what I saw the community looked great. It was a nice tour, and everything went very well.

The magnolia Manor of columbus is a great place, but in terms of cleanliness, I am not sure if it's included or not. The staff is very friendly and caring though. The value is great as they are less costly than others nearby. Care services is great and activities are great. I have a friend that stays there and he seems to be happy there.

Their assisted living was really expensive and really depressing. Now, their independent living apartments were nice, but she was really out in the middle of nowhere. She was there for 30 years and when dad was alive they were really active, they did a lot of volunteer work but when dad died she just stayed in her room. It was good, but things have changed. Most of the people she was friends with are gone now and they used to really have a lot of activities and they just dont anymore. i don't know if its a money thing or what, but she just never did anything.

Have had a family member here for the past few months. There are staff members who are awesome but they do not outweigh the ones that are not. You know how some people light up a room? Well there are ones that bring darkness. I've had the good fortune in the all my working years to only work with one person like that but it was enough to recognize it when I see it. It's worse when those people are in a position of authority and you can watch them suck the life out of even their good employees. I don't visit often but every time I'm there, I can tell the difference before I see if this person is there or not. Nursing homes should do a better job of paying attention and making sure the people in charge care about the patients rather than being the king or queen of their little domain. If your family member is in their right mind and can stand up for themselves, maybe Magnolia Manor is okay. If not, you better have a family representative who lives nearby to be their steady advocate, otherwise, I'd look elsewhere. I'm not the one who makes these decisions for this relative, but I can't see this particular nursing home as a permanent solution for anyone based on our family's experience. I wouldn't choose it for myself or any family member based on what I've seen.

My family member is here and has had issues trying to get things done. The activities are limited, if at all. The staff are not helpful, the maintenance guy always seems to be "busy" and has an attitude. The food is really good but other than that we're looking to move her to another facility. My family member was active before she got here. She wants to go somewhere else.
