Kevin THE LINK COOK IS DISGUSTING

[name removed] the Line Cook supervisor will never be a real chef, he's just in charge of line cooks who scoop food on a plate. This obese, infertile, man is a bully who would insult the Black female servers because he was racist. Hes bitter because his reproductive organs DONT WORK, so he had to adopt a child from overseas LOL! He picked up potato croquettes OFF THE FLORR and still served them to the residents. He wold also talk crap about how dirty the African (female) line cook was. What a bigoted slob! I hope t

Review for Magnolia Glen

Excellent choice ... my loved one is not the easiest to deal with and they are very patient with her. We picked this community because my loved one, has extremely low vision. The lighting was good and they had a low vision group that meets monthly. Plus Assisted Living residents can participate in any activities including in the Independent Living Community.

My family and I have been very pleased with the care our mother and brother got at MG. Our mother was in independent living and our brother was in assisted living. They would both still be there had it not been for the decline of my mother’s cognitive decline. We had to move her to a facility with memory care… We all highly recommend MG!

Highly recommend. A great place for independent living.

Magnolia Glen is a very nice place for a loved one to live independently. The apartments are very comfortable. Also, the staff are very good, from "top to bottom."

Magnolia Glen was beautiful but the person giving the tour offended my mom when she asked why her husband didn't come. My mom said "My husband is dead". The lady was so embarrassed. She said she had another tour after us & our paperwork got mixed up. I felt so bad for her.

My husband and I were recently given a tour of Magnolia Glen and were so impressed! The facilities were spotless and updated, the amenities offered were plenty and the staff was very friendly and hospitable. The residents that we encountered seemed content and at ease. Most impressive however was the staff whom obviously would go above and beyond to serve the residents. Following the tour we had lunch which was delicious from a varied menu. Overall, we found Magnolia Glen to be delightful.
