Magnolia Manor Senior Day Program, LLC AKA "Club Magnolia"

Testimonials

Here is what a few of our clients have had to say about us.

"Overnight my mother went from living independently in her own home, to requiring sitter type care. I volunteered to have her come live with my family. Unfortunately, I still need to work. When she lived in NJ she had a sitter and she watched TV and movies most of the day. At Magnolia Manor she participates in numerous activities, and meets other people stimulating her mentally. Thanks to the wonderful staff my mother looks forward to going to Magnolia Manor and often is not ready to leave when I come to pick her up. The staff are very supportive of both her strengths and weaknesses. They treat her with respect and take an interest in her as a person. I cannot say enough positives about the senior day program."

What a blessing that we discovered "Club Magnolia"! (as we like to call it) My husband looks forward to going to the club, where he enjoys the company he keeps. Most of all the wonderful staff who are constantly interacting with his needs. We are grateful for their compassion, great care and understanding. As for myself, I have peace of mind knowing that he is well cared for.

Thank you Sara, Valerie and staff for doing a very challanging and trying job.

With respect, I am

Magnolia Manor is such a blessing—it truly is a win-win! My mother looks forward to going there, and we are worry-free during the day knowing she is in such good hands. We are so thankful we found you and appreciate the individualized attention and care you provide. My mother has lived with us for three years now and had to leave many good friends in Ohio when she moved down here. The people and activities at Magnolia Manor have filled a tremendous void in her life—she is so much happier now—and so are we!

Thank you!

Dear Caregivers of the Magnolia Manor,

Thank you for the excellent care you give my mother-in-law, Alice Cottrell. She has never enjoyed herself so much in all her life. You welcome her with open arms and kisses, and this makes her feel very special and loved. Then her day is filled with whatever she wants to do--bingo with nice presents, puzzles, exercise, a stroll outside, or relaxing and watching TV.

Your care of her is individualized to meet Alice's needs and wants. I feel so comfortable leaving her with you, as I know she will have great fun and interaction. When I come to pick her up, she does not want to leave. You always fix her hair and do her nails, YOU make her feel like "Queen for the Day".

As a registered nurse, I feel I know good care and you are the most attentive caregivers I have ever observed--each person in your care is treated with repect. This is what,simply stated, makes you ladies of the Magnolia Manor, The Best. Gail Cottrell, R.N.

Sara and Valerie - First of all thanks for the pictures, I will be sure to pass them along to all of Jan's kids. More importantly though, thank you so much for giving Jan a safe, fun, and happy place to visit. She sure seemed to be having a good time today when I came to pick her up. Taking care of a senior has been a new experience for me and having an organization like yours is making it much easier. I cannot express how nice it is to see her smiling and laughing. Thank you for everything you do, you have made a client for life. See you guys next week.

Magnolia Manor Senior Day Program in Okaloosa!

By Courtney Cook, BSW

I was recently delighted to find out there was a new adult day care located in Ft. Walton Beach, FL! As soon as heard the news, I knew I had to make a visit to see this new adult day care. What I found were two ladies, Sara O’Neal, CNA and Valerie Anthony, CSA, who were thrilled to have the opportunity to give an affordable alternative to in home care to their community.

Magnolia Manor is a state licensed and locally owned and operated adult day care. The idea behind Magnolia Manor is three fold: 1) give the caregiver a chance to take care of their needs; 2) create an atmosphere for each patient that is relaxing and enjoyable and; 3) offer an affordable alternative to in home care. The staff and caregivers at Magnolia Manor do this by creating an atmosphere compatible to each patient’s needs that is more like a social club, than an actual day care setting.

Magnolia Manor also has a space outdoors for your loved one to walk around in a safe environment. They also offer activities ranging from arts & crafts to Nintendo Wii (a game that simulates several different sports such as bowling). Magnolia Manor allows caregivers to pay for care by the hour or by the day. The facility is opened Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm, but the staff is able to work with those who may need a more flexible schedule.
