Things may not be back to normal yet – whatever “normal” may turn out to be – but here at Magnolia Manor our staff and residents are so happy to see the return of in-person events. Virtual get-togethers simply do not rise to the occasion like the opportunity to see, hear, and hug one another up close and personally.

So, you can be sure we are doing all we can to reconvene for activities small and large. Many of these activities center around our own campuses and residents, of course. But some also serve to reinforce the close relationships we enjoy with our surrounding communities. Here are two recent examples.

Did we celebrate Mother’s day at Magnolia Manor? You’re darn right we did! Where would we be without our moms? Within our Magnolia Manor family at each of our campuses, we have mothers of all ages. Not only residents, many of whom are grandmas or great-grandmothers, but staff who are moms. We even have a couple of mother-daughter teams among our staff.

So, when we celebrate Mother’s Day, we go all out.

The Georgia Southwestern College of Nursing and Health Sciences Auditorium has a new name – Magnolia Manor Nursing Auditorium. GSW Assistant Vice President Stephen Snyder officially unveiled the change on February 10, in a dedication ceremony that celebrated the commitment and connection between two vital community entities.

Some people are thrilled to call it quits when their “working years” are over. Retirement – finally! This is your chance to spend the days doing whatever you want, on whatever schedule suits you. But that’s not the case for everyone. If you really love your job, you may choose to stay with it longer; something that wasn’t an option to past generations who were forced to retire at age 65.

Each Magnolia Manor campus may be a community unto itself, but we are an active part of our larger community as well. It’s the Magnolia Manor way, and boy does it bring wonderful rewards to everyone involved.

One of our resolutions for 2021 here at Magnolia Manor is to expand our Advocacy Program. We’re inviting you to help by becoming a volunteer Advocate within your church. You will help establish a partnership between the church and Magnolia Manor, serving as a sort of ambassador to strengthen connections, outreach, and service to others.

As an Advocate, you (and your entire congregation) can give and receive at the same time.

Built Upon Generosity

There is a remarkable difference between for-profit organizations and nonprofit communities like Magnolia Manor. As a nonprofit organization our overriding objectives are apparent in our priorities and the quality of care we offer to our residents.
