Magnolia Gardens

My mother in law has been at Magnolia Gardens for the past 4 years and when it was time for my mom I decided to have her there also. The entire staff, nurses, CNA's, LPN's, housekeeping, food service and many more are awesome. The care and compassion goes above and beyond. They are on top of everything that has to do with their care. I get calls immediately if something happens with either one of them. It was the best decision I've made. I recommend it 100%

Photos of food from reviewers unfortunately accurate and often. Imagine a leg of chicken, a child’s milk carton and maybe a cookie for a dinner. The head of the kitchen is a man easily agitated, no Nurses after 11 pm with only LPN’s on staff and no hospital experience. Aides making life/death decisions whether to call one of the owners, a Registered Nurse after 11pm. Windows are dirty (rarely opened) and residents, many with memory issues have no access to sun unless it is a nice day for an hour walk. Minimal sun, and health declines. An enclosed patio is never in use. With shortages of staff and nurses nationwide, keep an eye on your loved one and includes employees who are there for a paycheck making it difficult for those very few that actually care. Visit at different hours of the day, particularly at night.

DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY HERE. Where to even begin? James, the head of the kitchen and husband to the DON/owner is a terror to the patients, staff, and anyone in between. They get NOTHING for food, not even allowed paper towels or anything from the facility. They eat worse than prisoners, I know because I work for the prison systems. Most meals are nothing more than a pb&j with a thin layer of each, watered down juice and maybe a side. James harasses patients both verbally and with verbal sexual harassment. His wife does nothing and won't remove him. Even his staff are afraid to help patients and give them a little extra for fear of his retaliation. They have mold growing in many areas, especially patients rooms, from a leak years prior where they did not replace anything not absolutely necessary. Despite the state or families paying for residents care, they still take all but $95 of the patients social security checks. They eat at around 10, around 1 then 4 and get n o t h i n g else at all unless they can buy it themselves. These are human beings. Father's, mother's, grandma's and grandpa's. They need more than a slice of bread for lunch or breakfast. Canned ravioli is not a healthy dinner. Most of them have strict dietary needs due to health and age, however James will not even accommodate for allergies, just degrades the patients reminding him of such a thing. No one should have to live in fear of terror or abuse such as this. Why are they not eating like kings when their entire social security checks is taken?
