The facility is very short staffed and my loved one is not given the care she should receive from the staff. Her nails are done once a month when they have it every week. I have to cut her fingernails and toenails. I have to comb her hair. Her skin is scaly and no moisturize is used when getting her ready for the day. I go different days and different hours so I can see if I am missing out on something and no I am not. They need to find a way to keep the help they have and the ability to hire the help they need. One person running a hall by themselves is not giving the clients the time necessary to take care of their needs.

My mother has been a resident here for almost 3 years. When she first moved there in the dementia unit they offered a wonderful activity director who did so much with the dementia patients, she really kept them active and spent quality tome with them. She left a a few months later and since then there has been no one to do anything with these elderly people. Some tog the workers there are some of the greatest anyone could ever wish to have looking after your parents but then there are those I have no idea why they are there! Ther ris absolutely nothing for the residents to do but sit and watch t.v! When we moved my mother there we were told that no one who became violent would be allowed to stay there, now there are two residents who are very violent and scary even to me. While visiting yesterday one of them attempted to come after me an aide did intercept her but it scared one of the other residents who asked me to "please don't leave me!" I do not understand why they allow resident to continue to live there who theatre he very safety of all the other residents, visitors and especially the workers! The workers full attention is then on those one or two residents who may hurt someone else and that takes away the time they could be tending to all of the other residents needs! Overall with the exception of our mothers clothes and pajamas disappearing for no reason as her family does all her laundry, I would say for he most part it has been an easy adjustment for what we are dealing with.

My Father was placed at Magnolia Gardens for Rehab. The therapy group is terrible there. Within 4 months he could no longer walk. We moved him to Genesis where they have a state of the art Rehabilitation Center and a very knowledgeable team. He is now walking without any medical devises. Magnolia Gardens was a disaster and almost cost my father his mobility.

My mother has been at this facility for a year. We were very happy to find that the center had an Alzheimers unit, due to the fact that we were in great need to move her from her present facility at the time. I have been very happy with the staff and esp. with the Administrator. They have a very tough job caring for residents with dementia and I think they do a great job. My mother is happy there and I think that makes all the difference in the world.

My mother is very happy now that she is where she is at. She loves the food which is a plus since she is on thickener and at the last place she was at they didn't mix it in very well so she preferred to just not eat and lost a lot of weight while there.

The staff and the residents are always upbeat and happy when I go out there. In fact, when my sister took her tour out there while deciding on where our mother should go, one of the residents came up to her and said, "I hope your mother is as happy as I am here." That says a lot to me.
