Back in 2022 when my dad, who had dementia, was not doing well, and had just been evicted from his previous memory care unit, for needing too much care and being very difficult and overactive, I could not find any other place in the Atlanta metro area that would take my dad in. He was stuck in the VA hospital while we tried to find a new place for him to live. I was referred to Magnolia by someone who said "the director there is great, she will take your dad, and they serve as a place where you don't need to move your loved one again". My father finally passed away recently, but his 3 years there were very peaceful, they took good care of him, and the staff was always very friendly, and the other residents also seemed content and well taken care of. In terms of the facility, what really stood out from other places my dad lived at and ones I did tours of, is Magnolia has wide open hallways, tall ceilings, a nice porch area for when the weather is nicer, a nice view and grass and landscaping out front for a walk or wheelchair venture. It is not cramped, small, depressing, with an unhappy staff like many places seem to have. It is also very affordable relative to other places. I highly recommend Magnolia if you find yourself needing to have your loved one live in a memory care, or other assisted living unit (the two types are on two separate floors).
