Resident/Family Testimonials

Nancy Picone, Resident:  “I lived in my home for 11 years but then realized that I needed more assistance with my daily activities and a place that ensured I was safe.  With the help and recommendations of my family and friends, I came to Magnolia Gardens.  After looking at several places, I chose Magnolia Gardens because of the activities offered and it just had so much more!”

Sylvia Bell, daughter of resident:  “My mom and dad had been living in Brooklyn until it became necessary for my dad to reside at Green Acres Manor and my mom came to live at my house.  Daily, for two years, I took my mom to spend the afternoons with my dad.  When Magnolia Gardens was under construction, my mom and I realized that this would be the perfect solution to our situation.  She could live at Magnolia Gardens and go see my dad whenever she desired, enabling me and my husband to live a less regimented life.  We signed up for a room before it was even open!”

Lynn O’Connor, Resident:  “Magnolia Gardens is the place for me…why?  Because of the family like atmosphere.  Residents and staff made me feel at home and helped me adjust.”

Mike Goldman, son of resident: “My experience as a manufacturer’s representative in the health care industry gave me the guidelines that helped select Magnolia Gardens for my dad.  I looked for eye appealing cleanliness, adult activities and staff stability all of which I was able to find in conveniently located Magnolia Gardens.  These qualities made selecting Magnolia Gardens very easy and best of all, my dad loves the constant care and attention he receives!”

Joseph Norcross, Resident:  “Four years ago, I reconciled to the fact that my physical condition and circumstances required a change in my living arrangement.  After considering the alternatives and choosing Magnolia Gardens, I was pleased to find that Magnolia Gardens would accept me!  Like everyone, I was impressed quickly by the fact that Magnolia Gardens was more than just a handsome building.  Primarily that the people who worked there were competent, friendly and alert to the changes in the needs and wants of the residents.  I didn’t desert my home 4 years ago, I just moved to a new home.”

June Kruetzer, daughter of resident:  “When it became necessary for my mother to go into an assisted living facility, we visited nearly all in the area.  Magnolia Gardens was our choice and we have not regretted it.  On first impression the inviting, comfortable lobby was welcoming.  Many comfortable seating areas for both resident and visitors made for a feeling of quiet elegance.  It was then and has been a gathering place for residents but there were quiet areas too where visitors could spend more private time with their family members.  For me though, it was the friendly, collegial relationships between the staff and residents.  The residents are treated with dignity and a sense of joy.  There are a lot of smiles, laughter and greetings.  Encouragement, care and fun seem to be the order of the day, everyday.  I’m grateful that a place like Magnolia Gardens exists so that I can rest easy knowing my mother is in good hands.

Family of Angela Lau:  “When Mom could no longer care for herself, our family faced the decision to find her a new home where she would be safe and happy for the rest of her years.  Our priority was a safe environment providing good care, good friends and good food, while preserving her dignity and independence.  We found all of these at Magnolia Gardens!  The facility meets, exceeds and excels in all of these needs.  The staff associates are truly like family and the friendly open atmosphere has restored her happy-go-lucky personality!
