Southern Magnolia Living

We were so lucky to find this place for my father-in-law. They treat your loved one like family and keep you updated on their condition. The staff is loving and good at everything they do(cooking/cleaning/care taking). Candy and Mike are very special people and hire the best!

One week after opening its doors for providing care SML took mom in for what was intended to be 3 weeks of respite care while I travel. Not long into the stay Mom asked about making SML her permanent home. It made sense since Mom was turning 91 in a couple of months and her ambulating needs had increased, beyond what I could provide. The family’s biggest concern with Mom living with us was falling, especially in the shower, as primary caregiver and her son showing was a tad bit awkward. The care Mom received at SML was exceptional, not only professional, but loving from both the staff and other residents. We received text message with funny videos and cute photos of Mom having fun with residences and staff. The atmosphere at SML is welcoming, fun and safe. Mom’s a social butterfly and at the same time would dive into her novels. SML provides each resident the opportunity to participate in socializing, read a book, watch movies or enjoy any one of the lovely open concept appointed rooms (Sunroom is Mom’s favorite).
As it happens when you get older in life Mom's health began to fail. Truly this is where an ‘aging in place’ residence really does it magic. Mom decided hospice was for her and without disturbing her residence by moving her away from her new friends we began the farewell process. Mom’s extended family, children, nieces, grandchildren and even a great grandchild came to visit Mom. Despite the label of hospice Mom passed away peacefully with her children beside her. The compassion, love and support from Candy, Mike and the caregivers is so powerful, you can help but feel them as extended family. We are forever grateful for what SML (Candy and Mike) were able to give us to send Mom ‘Home’ the very best way possible. We celebrate her life and rejoice Mom is with all our family and friends who went before us.

Southern Magnolia Living is a beautiful facility - tastefully decorated, bright and cheerful. My mother has been a resident there for several months and we are so grateful to have found such a place! The staff is efficient and loving, and the small setting has allowed the owners and staff to get to know my mother quite well, and vice versa - so important when working with this population. My mother would not get such individualized care and attention in a larger facility. It is very comforting to our family that my mother is getting the absolute best care in a beautiful and nurturing environment. Candy Moore, the owner and an RN, is wonderful!

Finding a loving, caring and professional environment was our top priority in a home for our Mom who has special needs. We hit the jackpot with Southern Magnolia and she could not be happier! The facility and staff are wonderful, and we rest easy knowing that Mom is in the best, most professional hands possible! If I could give them 10-stars, I would!

Southern Magnolia Living is an absolutely beautiful facility and the utmost care has been put into every detail. Owners, Mike and Candy Moore, have poured their blood, sweat and tears, as well as their hearts into making this a place for elderly residents to live with the freedom and respect they deserve in their golden years. It gives peace of mind to the family of the residents that they are being treated with dignity and given the support they need.
