My relative was at Magnolia for only a few weeks. It seemed like it would be a great place. Unfortunately, they did not deliver what they said they would. The activities coordinator was dismissed as soon as we arrived. I wish had read the reviews as it seems like this is an ongoing problem. Cleaning and laundry was not done when they said it would be. The food was just ok and even though we marked items that she would not eat, they still gave it to her. Too many times residents were wandering around on their own with no staff member in site to help them. I made a complaint and was told someone would follow up with me. No one ever called me so we gave 30 days notice and found another place.

My Sister just moved to Magnolia House from Azalea House and I was so concerned she would be disoriented or lost because of the trauma that kind of move can cause. Because of the special care that all of the people working at Magnolia House seem to give to their residents, she has been able to adjust quite easily as far as I can see. Her surroundings are lovely, clean and very organized. I live in another state so when I come for a visit I tend to spend the better part of day or days with her. In less than 4 hours, I came to be so impressed with the attention the residents receive from the staff. I can even name a few people (first names only) who specifically make my Sister feel at home - Julie, Rita, Diane and others. Diane L, the Activity Coordinator led residents who were interested to a meeting room where Bill (resident of Azalea House) played the piano and together both of them coordinated and encouraged all there to join in singing hymns. When Bill was finished, Diane encouraged us all to participate in a verbal memory activity of filling in the blank of cliches that we have all been familiar with - wonderful stimulation for everyone there. Another resident led all of us in exercising the upper part of our bodies while sitting. All and all after these sequential social activities, I think many of us felt a sense of accomplishment and we enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch.

My mother lives at Magnolia in the independent living. Since the new company took over from East AL Medical Center, the food has been below average. The activities person for the independent living residence was moved to another facility, so now the residence do activities on their own. However, lately Magnolia has done several improvements to the grounds but this really doesn't benefit the residence. My mother's rent has gone up and food quality went down. I am not sure I would recommend Magnolia since this new company took over. I suggest the food get better is a must. Also a new activities person for the residence in independently living to facilitate games, exercise and outings (like going out for dinner at a restaurant like they once did). Thank you

Our aunt and uncle are in Magnolia Place in the largest room there. The ambience is fine. They had a major overhaul or major renovation of the whole establishment and are finishing it right now. The staff is very good and treat them very nicely. They need to improve on the food and the menu itself. It is nutritious but pretty bland and sometimes the amount is not sufficient. The price is competitive with other places. I think they are making a bigger effort for activities. They went through a period of time without having an activities director, then hired a new one who is working very hard.

My loved ones are in Magnolia Place. It is a really nice place with adequate services, food, and amenities. The attitude of the people working there was very nice.

Azalea Place was very good, but he did not like it because it was so far from his home. He was never happy there, and he felt that everybody was a stranger. He knows no one in the area or in the community.
The atmosphere was great; it was very clean. The residents seemed to be a priority. They provided a lot of services like weekly transportation to shopping. They had an activity every day, and they did a lot to keep the residents involved. I felt very well of them, and they were doing everything they needed to do.

My grandmother lives at Azalea Place. She seems to really enjoy it there, and the staff takes care of all of her needs. Her room is comfortable and well-furnished, and there is always someone available to help my grandmother when she needs assistance. The menu has a lot of variety and the food is absolutely wonderful--I often visit grandmother at meal times so I can finish her plate! Some of the residents need a lot of care to feel comfortable and safe, but the staff is always ready for anything. The premises were secure, which also lends itself to the mental well-being of both the residents and their relatives. They provide lots of activities for the residents, and I think this helps create a sense of community among the people living there. There are beautiful outside areas to enjoy, and spacious common rooms. I am so glad my grandmother has a home at Azalea Place!

Azalea place is a beautiful assisted living facility in the college town of Auburn Alabama, where my aunt resided for 3 years. The staff is beyond friendly, they treat the residents as members of their family not paitents. The community of seniors is very active. They plan numerous outings both in the surrounding area and day trips to Atlanta and Birmingham. Also a group of students from some volunteer club at Auburn University visit for a few hours once every 2 weeks, with some visiting more often. The residents and students both seem to really look forward to these visits and it's amazing to see people 3 generations apart conversing like old friends. Overall Azalea place provides a wonderful environment of community and activity. The grounds surrounding the area is beautiful as well and provides outdoor activities for the residents as well. Auburn is a unique community where young and old interact and flourish together.

From the moment I walked through the front door, the facility felt very welcoming and that the nurses and staffers there cared and had fun doing their jobs. We were shopping around in the Auburn area for a place for my mother since she has dementia. We wanted to make sure she had the best care and that she was in a local vicinity to a hospital and East Alabama Medical Clinic is nearby. The rooms are spacious and it didn't feel like a stale environment like other homes we visited. The seniors living there were active and non-comotose. I wanted to make sure my mother would have access to a good, attention giving care and also daily nutritious food. There menu had a lot of a variety to it. While we might keep looking for a different nursing facility, this one is closer to the top of our list.
