Magnolia Manor of St. Marys

Magnolia Manor of St. Marys sits in a friendly southern town by the water and offers a secure setting where older adults find help when they need it, and folks can still live pretty independently if they want to, and the whole place works from a mission to care for social, spiritual, mental, and physical needs in a Christian atmosphere. The staff, like Rev. Dan Krupp, take care to offer spiritual support with things like Bible study, worship services, weekly communion, and monthly Mass, and you'll find personal attention from people who watch over residents day and night with a 24-hour emergency response system and plenty of awake staff always around. The campus has a calm, small feel and there's plenty of room to walk, sit in the garden, visit the library, or take part in a movie night, and everybody has access to wide apartment choices with their own kitchens or kitchenettes fitted with stoves and fridges, plus you get internet in your own space while cable and TV sit out in shared areas. Every day, the chefs cook up three meals in a dining room that feels much like a restaurant, with table service, and if you've got special diets like diabetes or allergies, the kitchen works to fit those needs, and guests can join for meals alongside residents. People can stay active with yoga, stretching, and all sorts of fitness classes at the wellness center or do laps in the swimming pool, and afterward residents can rest in a warm salt water spa or whirlpool. The therapy department runs both inpatient and outpatient rehab, with trained therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs, and the therapy pool helps folks heal or just feel better after hospital stays; meanwhile, adults who just want a little activity during the day can join adult day care programs. Many join game groups, arts and crafts, music, or outings, and residents often run their own activities on top of staff-led events, so there's plenty to do. There's always help for daily needs like medication reminders, transfers, getting dressed, or bathing for those who need a hand, and there's a memory care section built to help folks who may wander or face confusion from dementia. Residents get regular housekeeping, personal laundry, linen care, and even scheduled rides for shopping or appointments, with parking right nearby if you prefer to drive. The buildings have a 24-hour call system for safety, utility bills are mostly covered except for phones, and rooms are furnished with comforts like a telephone, cable TV, and even a barbershop, beauty salon, and arts and crafts room right on site. Residents can enjoy the company of others during campus events, sing-alongs, clubroom socials, and literary or educational gatherings. Magnolia Manor of St. Marys is a not-for-profit group, part of a tradition that started in 1963 and was chartered in Georgia back in 1959, serving over a thousand people each day, and they do it as a continuing Christian ministry with support from the United Methodist Church, so the focus lands on community, safety, respect, and active living for all residents. You'll pretty much find care at different levels here, like independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term help after a hospital stay, day programs, or even skilled nursing, and the staff do their best to keep the environment affordable, warm, and full of kind help each day.
