Magnolias of Myrtle Beach

Magnolias of Myrtle Beach, found at 601 65th Ave N, Myrtle Beach, SC 29572, is part of a group of communities like The Legacy of North Myrtle Beach and River Park Senior Living that provide different options for seniors, and, you know, they do a bit of everything with assisted living, independent living, nursing home care, and special memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and if you've got a cat or dog, well, they let you bring them too, and they seem to try to meet residents' different needs by offering things like full-time activity directors, a library, walking paths, trips, outings and movie nights, and, oh, there's also a beauty salon, enclosed courtyards, a garden, and spots for socializing, and they let folks run their own activities if they want. The place takes care of daily support like help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication, and they have staff around 24 hours to keep an eye on things, and, of course, there's an emergency alert system and someone to arrange and serve meals-plus, if you've got diet restrictions or food allergies, they handle that too, and rooms can have telephones, along with laundry, dry cleaning, and housekeeping. They keep residents busy with arts rooms, all-day restaurant-style dining, transportation for errands or appointments, and parking, and whatever you need, they try to match it if they can. For families needing help choosing care, they have local experts offering free advice and a guided process, and they do put some focus on giving families information so folks know their options. Memory care is set up for those who need special help, and there's diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, incontinence care, and, for independent folks, housing to fit. Some people seem happy, though one public review gave it only 0.5 stars, but the overall service rating for the advisory and support side is much higher at 4.6 stars. The community aims to help residents keep their independence and stay active, both on-site and with trips outside, and there's a sense of trying to make everyone feel at home even though, like every place, it's not perfect, but there's a sense that people are trying to create a real community where folks look out for each other.
