Magnolia Grand

I like that the main Chef interacts with residents and often she and other chefs delivery your food. She is very kind and discussed best food options and way things are cooked as I have lost a lot of weight and need to eat only certain food groups.

My mom and I toured and ended up signing on for her to live at Magnolia Grand. The building is nicely remodeled and the staff are so kind, and have put a lot of thoughtfulness into creating a community for the residents.

Enjoyed the virtual tour. However they do not have wi-fi which is critical for my cardia recorder. The videos were very good but will not be in California until mid December to tour the facility. thank you

Our experience was mixed

This facility could be great for some people, it just was not the right fit for my mom. The facility is small, so if your senior is very social and active there is not enough to do there. The bus was broken for the 6 months mom was there so they never went places. I would recommend Magnolia Grand for quiet people who do not need a lot of activity. Staff was very nice!
