    Unreliable dementia care, limited improvements

    I moved my mother into this campus (memory unit, secured dementia care, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehab, independent studios with meds/meals). Some staff are kind and management can be responsive-family involvement helped and my mother is happier at times-but I also witnessed abusive CNAs, frequent short-staffing, unattended residents and generally unacceptable care. The building is dated, meals are limited/often cold (chef salad was a rare plus) and budget constraints show. Overall I'm dissatisfied and cannot recommend it despite a few caring staff and quick fixes when raised.

    About Magnolia Gardens Extended Care Community

    Magnolia Gardens Extended Care Community in East Spencer supports adults who need long-term help, short-term rehab, or specialized care like memory help for Alzheimer's or dementia, and the place has independent living apartments for seniors who can care for themselves but who want a little bit of support from the staff that's on site all the time, with everything set up in a small town where life moves slow and you can get to local stores and services when you want. You'll find both private and semi-private rooms, laundry and housekeeping help if you need it, on-site meal programs with one or two cooked meals every day, and personal touches like a beauty and barber salon inside the building, plus transportation when you've got to get to the doctor or somewhere else in town, and on top of that, they have on-site doctor visits, contracts with major insurers, therapy services for speech, physical needs, and occupational help, IV treatments, wound care, and medication management, which are all things some folks need as they get older, and more serious care like skilled nursing, hospice support, and a secure dementia care unit cost a whole lot more for seniors over 65 compared to basic healthcare. The staff works hard to get each person the level of help and attention that fits their situation, and there's a strong focus on keeping people's dignity and comfort, aiming at a home-like feel with up-to-date rooms, while still watching over everyone's well-being and independence using newer treatments when possible, and residents can take part in activities or simply enjoy a quiet routine. Magnolia Gardens offers these choices within one location for people, whether you want active independent living with less worry or need daily extended care, and the reviews are mixed, with the place holding a 2.8 out of 5 rating on 9 reviews, which folks might want to think about as they look for the right fit.
