Magnolia Manor Assisted Living is celebrating 5 full years of “Southern Hospitality and Old Fashioned Care” with a wine and cheese party on Tuesday, November 15th. The public is invited to attend from 5:00- 7:00pm. Come see for yourself why Magnolia Manor exceeds all expectations!
The best time to choose an assisted living facility (ALF) for yourself or a loved one is before you need one. Finding a perfect match for your needs and expectations will require time and due diligence. The staff to resident ratio at Magnolia Manor is above state requirements. In fact, everything at this beautiful boutique facility meets or exceeds Florida state requirements.
Owner Barbara Keithly’s lifelong dream was to create just such an assisted living facility in a natural setting with an open airy concept. The family owned and operated ALF features a homey atmosphere where residents enjoy delicious meals, companionship, and activities. Barbara’s daughter Robbin serves as Executive Director, and her son Chris is the Business Office Manager.
Medication monitoring and a respect for individual dignity is provided by a cheerful staff of trained professionals. Staff is available 24/7 and always accessible for family members. Families are provided with a calendar of events and are welcome to participle in their loved ones’ activities. Residents enjoy holiday and birthday parties, a 4th of July parade, a summer Luau, and Christmas banquet for the whole family, plus weekly happy hours with live entertainment.
Transportation can be provided for appointments and outings, including regularly scheduled dining out and shopping trips. Seasonal outings are also scheduled so residents can enjoy local activities and events. Magnolia Manor has a fleet of vehicles to transport residents in small and large groups for medical visits and social outings.
Magnolia Manor is pet friendly, with regular pet visits scheduled along with visits from community groups and organizations. Recently a Girl Scout Brownie Troop visited and spent an enjoyable time decorating cookies with the residents. The Brownie troop then delivered the decorated cookies to a local children’s home. Other civic groups and organizations are invited to visit, and fresh new ideas are always appreciated.
If you are considering a move to an ALF, be sure to visit this outstanding facility. Magnolia Manor is licensed for both adult daycare and full residential care. Call 813-918-0588 to RSVP for the open house or to schedule a personal tour. View additional information at www.magnoliamanoralf.com.
