Magnolia Place of Saxonburg sits at 100 Bella Court in Saxonburg, PA, and offers both assisted living and memory care, with a focus on providing a secure place for people living with Alzheimer's and other memory challenges. The memory care building stands alone and was made especially for residents with dementia, so safety is a big part of everything they do, like doors that need bracelets to open and secure courtyards for getting fresh air without worry. Folks can pick a studio or semi-private room, with prices around $6,250 or $5,500 a month, and the rooms have things like private or shared baths, showers you can get a wheelchair in, closets, and climate controls, plus cable TV and Wi-Fi.
When someone needs help, staff are around all day and night, including nurses and a doctor who's on call. The staff go through extra training in areas like memory care, chronic health problems, diabetes, and mobility, so they're ready to handle things like two-person transfers, lifts, and help with bathing, dressing, and making sure people get their medicines. They also accept residents who might wander, act out, or need standby support, and they can give insulin shots and support people who are at risk of falling, running off, or needing a lot of physical help.
Meals happen in a restaurant-style dining room where the chef makes food for special diets-whether it's low salt, no sugar, vegetarian, kosher, or even organic-and snacks are available, too. Folks who need physical, speech, or occupational therapy can often get it right on site, and there's a podiatrist, eye doctor, and physical therapist who come regularly. Magnolia Place has a wellness program, too, with fitness classes like yoga, balance, chair exercise, dance, and brain fitness for keeping minds and bodies active.
People can stay busy with a regular schedule of activities. There's gardening, arts and crafts, trivia, Wii bowling, stretching, cooking classes, educational talks, games, parties for birthdays, and themed days like Root Beer Float Day. There are devotional and religious services for those who want them, including Catholic Mass and church services, and veterans can get help with paperwork for VA benefits. Residents are welcome to bring their cats or dogs along, and the building is wheelchair friendly with parking for both residents and visitors.
Transportation to shopping and doctor visits comes with the deal, and if someone wants to have a private party, there's a big activity room. The three secure courtyards and wide lawns give space to relax outdoors, and the landscaping offers pleasant views. For chores, staff take care of cleaning, linens, laundry, and maintenance, so folks don't need to worry about housekeeping unless they want to.
Magnolia Place doesn't accept Medicaid but does allow private pay, long-term care insurance, and VA Aid & Attendance benefits. Visitors can stop by when they want during flexible hours, and families can set up visits or even virtual tours if they can't make it in person. All in all, Magnolia Place of Saxonburg offers a steady, supervised, and steady-care environment focused on memory care, with enough activities and support so folks can feel safe and engaged every day.
