My parents love Magnolia

My parents have lived at magnolia for a few months now and they absolutely love it. I was a very happy with the care staff. They are attentive and always check on my mom especially who needs 2 hour checks and medication management. They are easy to reach by phone and they always make sure to take good care of my parents. The food has been very good too every time I have stayed for dinner and my parent have no complaints about it. They do a good job at providing meals that everyone likes while still keeping it fresh and new. My parents also love to go on the pontoon boat that they have, I have never seen another senior living place with a boat and it is a very fun thing for my parents.

Magnolia by the Lakes

The apartment itself was very nice and well maintained. Unfortunately, we had some serious concerns with the care and medication management, which ultimately led to a significant health issue and the need to leave. We also found that the overall community was not a good fit. The staff was friendly, but the experience with the other residents was disappointing.

Magnolia by the Lakes

Pros: Beautiful modern apartments, great views, beautiful grounds, access to Cass Lake, pontoon rides, activities, shopping trips, monthly themed dinner parties with live entertainment. Some great staff overall. This place is perfect for a person with good mobility looking for assisted living. The person running the monthly parties is wonderful and really puts her heart into it. It really gives people something to look forward to each month. Another plus is that the full care does include full showers 5x week; we've found that the average is 2x week. Cons: We had multiple issues with appliances that took weeks to resolve. Specifically, the washing machine and refrigerator. They didn’t fix them but just brought replacements from empty apartments. She also experienced massive water damage due to a freezing of the fire suppression system that took months to repair. What they need to improve the most is the care team. There was a very high turnover of staff, many of them being very young and inexperienced. That said, there were also absolutely wonderful people that we wished never left. I imagine this is common in most assisted living places. My mom was in her own apartment with full care, which meant check-ins every 2 hours. Unfortunately, they didn't always come every 2 hours, but she was mostly able to call as needed for help getting to the bathroom. As her fine motor skills and mobility worsened, she was warned not to call too often for frivolous things. This led to her experiencing frequent falls trying to do things herself. She ended her lease with a fall that resulted in a spinal compression fracture, and we moved her into a group home with true 24/hr care. Unfortunately, the lease states that you need two months’ notice and two doctor’s notes to end the contract. We were out two months’ rent due to the sudden nature of her injury. We also had some issues with incorrect medicine management. Thankfully my mom was cognizant enough to recognize her correct pills. Before we left, they had newly hired a nurse to manage it so hopefully it has improved. Looking back, I wish she had moved in a year earlier to enjoy all they had to offer. Ultimately, she needed more assistance than was available in their full care package. I will note that the north side is a memory care facility that does offer more intensive care. However, my mom’s disease doesn’t affect her cognitive ability, so we felt it would not be appropriate for her there. This is best suited for someone with good mobility, good motor skills, wishing for assistance but not full care.

Review for Magnolia by the Lakes

We've been very pleased with the entire place and the care staff. My mom has been in full care since she moved due to weakness from an illness. They have been very accommodating, caring and thorough. we also appreciate that they let us have cameras in her apartment since she is now a fall risk. From what I understand, not a lot of places allow that. Also, there are constant events, parties and meetups scheduled throughout the week.

Nice Apartments, helpful team

Magnolia by the lakes is a nice little indie and assisted living resort for seniors. The grounds and buildings are well maintained, the staff is kind and knowledgeable. The apartments are very nice and feel like a home. Each unit has a balcony or patio area. They have been welcoming. Had a very pleasant experience moving our family member in.

Home away from home

Magnolia is the place to be. Magnolia's staff makes it feel like a home away from home which is exactly what I was looking for. The care staff and administration are the most attentive and informative people. The amenities are absolutely beautiful and the meals are 5-star. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Assisted living horrible experience.

First off it was well known that my father had dementia and I was assured by Dr. [name removed] that their facility is the best and they could handle him. It was a nightmare and he kept getting out of the "secure" facility and the police were called numerous times and I was getting calls at all hours of the night to come there and handle him. The assisted living staff were constantly on their phones all night, or missing and they did not even speak to the residents unless they were paid extra. My father was shamed and blamed for being confused and she even charged us extra for an "accident" even when we were already paying for extra care to watch him!! There was no activities unless the residents with dementia could participate in the independent living activities. I was threatened that they were going to kick him out if I didn't pay for 24/7 care. I moved him immediately and he did much better in another facility where they treated him with dignity and compassion. Biggest XXK [amount removed] mistake!!

What to look for

A senior living facility should be rated by its ambiance, cleanliness, staff, food, units and safety. Magnolia by the Lakes (both independent and assisted living) gets five stars in all of these factors. The buildings are beautiful. The chandelier in Magnolia south takes your breath away. The place is meticulous. The Owner pays attention to every detail. The staff are well dressed and treat you with respect and understanding. The President and, owner is professional, kind and genuinely cares for seniors. The food is great and the chefs prepare meals specifically tailored to your diet. The little town of Keego Harbor is extremely safe. The caregivers work hard to please you. You can tell the residents at Magnolia are happy the minute you walk in. They come and greet you and tell you what a wonderful place Magnolia is. Highly recommended by its residents.

Horrible Experience

I had a terrible experience at Magnolia. They have 20 units on the Assisted Living side. In the evenings they had only one person on staff to help with 20 people. There were many times that my mom did not get feed her dinner. I had to go home and get her a plate and feed her myself.I don't feel they were getting her medication in a timely fashion. I worry about the residents who don't have a voice to advocate for them. There is very high staff turn over. It was a horrible experience.

I'm so glad we chose Magnolia by the Lakes in Keego Harbor!

My mother has been at Magnolia by the Lakes since [date removed] and I must say I'm extremely glad she and I chose Magnolia. The staff is extremely attentive and caring, they are like family to me and my mother. She had to stay at another facility when she declined for rehab for 6 days and it really showed me the difference between a top notch facility like Magnolia and one that is not. Mom came back to her original, beautiful room with additional care and services that have helped her tremendously! Magnolia's been wonderful for us and I would recommend it highly to anyone who is nervous about their parents getting the best care possible at a reasonable price. Thank you Magnolia and [name removed] for setting the bar so high and keeping it there!

Response to the Lady with Father-in-Law

This is my humble and honest response to the lady who supposedly toured aMagnolia and was asked by the Marketing Agent about her price range. It is funny. If you want to buy a house, don't you first give your price range or do you expect the real estate agent to show every house at every price there is? I have toured Magnolia. Their prices range from about $3,000 to $15,000 per month. How is the Marketing Agent supposed to know your price if you don't let her Know? Second, This Community is so high end and their portions are so large that you don't need a second portion and if you do they will give you since it is beneath them to refuse you seconds. You got your senior communities mixed up. I have toured and had lunch there. I have my Mother-in-law there and we all love Magnolia.

What I like most about Magnolia by the Lakes is the honest way they deal with potential residents. they respected me and ask about my price range that my Dad could afford. They should us what we needed and even dissuaded us from spending too much by getting a larger unit when he didn't really need two bathrooms. They treat you with dignity, respect and transparency. It was as if we were dealing with an adviser and not a sales person. Also, the food is great! Love it. Love it.

I did not get a good feeling from this place. The lady that was helping us was more concerned about how much money we had instead of the care and quality of work that she was going to give my father in law. I felt that they were on a budget because the residents could not have seconds of food.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Michigan regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Assisted Living.
