Magnolia on the Avenue sits in a warm, historic Victorian home where the gardens and screened porches give folks a nice spot to relax or chat, and with only 34 beds, the setting stays small and friendly so the staff can get to know each person by name and face, which helps everyone feel seen and safe, especially those needing more support. The community covers a lot of ground with care services, offering independent living for healthy and active seniors, assisted living support when folks need help with things like bathing or dressing, specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even full nursing home or rehabilitation options plus home care for people who want to stay in their own place and need some company or a hand around the house. Memory care gets extra support here, with the Botes Memory Method that matches activities and communication with each resident's memory needs, plus daily routines, games, art, singing, exercise like chair walks or balloon volleyball, which are all led by the in-house Activities Director, so each day stays structured and calm, and folks with memory loss get to enjoy their days without too much frustration or confusion.
The community's all-inclusive rate means there aren't surprise charges if someone's care needs increase, and meals-three a day-are usually homemade in the dining room with snacks and an all-day menu handy, using fresh, local farm ingredients whenever possible, and people gather together for meals, which keeps folks social. Amenities like scheduled transportation, laundry, linen changes, and medication management come with each resident's plan, and help with eating, bathing, or dressing is built right in-plus there's regular health monitoring from community doctors or visiting nurses, and trained staff stay on-site every hour of the day and night. The suites come private or semi-private and fully furnished, so folks can choose what works best, and things stay comfortable inside because the building's only one story, so there aren't stairs to worry about getting up and down, which makes everything easier to get to, especially for residents who use walkers or need a little steadier ground.
Magnolia on the Avenue creates care plans for each resident, which include grooming, activities, meal preferences, and exercise, so nobody ends up feeling like a number and everyone gets some say in what their days look like, and because the grounds are fully enclosed with secure measures, residents-especially those with memory loss-can go outside safely or enjoy seasonal activities like gardening, holiday cookie making, and everyday fun like birthday or National Donut Day celebrations with families or visitors, which helps everyone feel connected. You won't see pets at Magnolia on the Avenue, but there's always a focus on body, mind, and spirit through programs like MyWLife and support for families dealing with memory loss, plus group activities change each month to keep things interesting, from music and puzzles to walks and games. The staff, known for their kindness and patience, work to foster a positive, homey feeling and make sure both residents and families feel welcome and cared for, whether someone's here for independent living, assisted care, or a more structured memory support environment, and the community is faith-based and not-for-profit, holding to values that put people first and make Magnolia on the Avenue a good, steady option for seniors looking for care and connection in a supportive place.
