My mother was at Magnolia Glen assisted living in 2014 and 2015. She had a wonderful experience with the caregivers, administration and facility. We trusted them completely and my mother felt loved there. Fast forward to today. I was looking further a reputable rehab facility for a friend who needed one after being discharged from the hospital before he went home. I called Magnolia Glen for a referral. Less than 30 minutes later I got a call from Norelle who was there when Mom was there. She remembered me and my mom and was able to help me. I am so appreciative native of Magnolia Glen then and now!
