Photos of food from reviewers unfortunately accurate and often. Imagine a leg of chicken, a child’s milk carton and maybe a cookie for a dinner. The head of the kitchen is a man easily agitated, no Nurses after 11 pm with only LPN’s on staff and no hospital experience. Aides making life/death decisions whether to call one of the owners, a Registered Nurse after 11pm. Windows are dirty (rarely opened) and residents, many with memory issues have no access to sun unless it is a nice day for an hour walk. Minimal sun, and health declines. An enclosed patio is never in use. With shortages of staff and nurses nationwide, keep an eye on your loved one and includes employees who are there for a paycheck making it difficult for those very few that actually care. Visit at different hours of the day, particularly at night.

My mother was a resident of Magnolia Gardens Assisted Living for 9+ years before her recent passing. I live in Pennsylvania and had researched and visited 7 other New Jersey facilities before deciding on Magnolia. It was the best decision I made. I knew as soon as I walked into the facility that this was the one - large open area, clean, friendly staff. During these 9+ years the highest quality of care was maintained, I never had a complaint. Mom was treated as family by the entire staff even during her Hospice care. During one medical incident, it was one of the staff who came to her room to collect trash that noticed something was wrong and notified nursing. I can't say enough good things about Magnolia Gardens. Magnolia's staff will always be part of my family.

Excellent facility…caring, professional staff. Highly recommend. My aunt resided at Magnolia for 15 years, first in her own apartment and as her illness progressed in the Village. Magnolia provided top notch medical care, a kind staff, in a homey, friendly environment. My aunt enjoyed the activities, the food and the people. My sister and I were responsible for my aunt and since we live out-of-town we relied on the expert Magnolia team for communications. They were available to discuss her well-being; during Covid we participated in weekly Zoom updates; and we received weekly updates on her condition. Magnolia was always there and they always cared.

My mother in law has been at Magnolia Gardens for the past 4 years and when it was time for my mom I decided to have her there also. The entire staff, nurses, CNA's, LPN's, housekeeping, food service and many more are awesome. The care and compassion goes above and beyond. They are on top of everything that has to do with their care. I get calls immediately if something happens with either one of them. It was the best decision I've made. I recommend it 100%
