The Joys of Nonprofit Senior Living

nonprofit senior living

High quality senior living communities do everything they can to give their residents good care and a home where they can feel safe and enjoy daily living. But that doesn’t mean all communities are the same. In fact, they can differ considerably in accommodations, amenities and atmosphere. No wonder it can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to determine which one is going to be the best fit.

Magnolia Manor is different in two important ways:

1. We are a nonprofit organization. Our sole focus is on providing quality resident care. We're not here to make a profit, we're here to make a difference.

2. We are a faith-based organization. We welcome residents of all faiths, but we are grounded in our Methodist faith and providing service to others.

Let’s explore what that means for our residents.

Everything we say and do is guided by our mission, vision and values. Some say this is why we are so successful. An exceptional senior living community does more than the expected. At Magnolia Manor, we provide frequent faith-focused activities, options for low-income residents, and options for continuing care on-campus as health needs change.

Ministry
As the years pass, we tend to reflect on the impact we’ve made in our lives, how our efforts have touched others, and how others have helped us to realize our purpose on this earth. Living in a retirement community that provides regular Bible studies, worship services, fellowship opportunities, and personal support is a benefit that, for many, is the most compelling reason they became residents.

These elements are not often present in profit-based communities, but they are hallmarks of a nonprofit, faith-based organization like ours. Read here to learn more about what’s so different (and, we believe, so compelling) about faith-based senior living.

nonprofit senior livingCommunity
Why would you want to leave your family home and move into a senior living community? For the chance to be surrounded by people who share your values, who can relate to your challenges, and understand your needs. Now, instead of worrying about the hole in the roof, an overgrown tree, or the furnace going out, you can relax and enjoy yourself, surrounded by people who are doing the same. As a nonprofit organization, we can focus on faith and community, bringing comfort and kindness to what can often be an emotionally difficult transition.

From painting and book clubs to bingo, music and ice cream socials, attending a generous selection of activities all on one campus allows our residents to enjoy themselves and make new friends among their neighbors. Because activities are meant to be fulfilling, the types of activities revolve around the residents – changing according to their needs and desires. Feeling lonely? Not anymore. Living in a faith-focused senior living community means words of encouragement and spiritual guidance are always available.

One great way to get a feel for what Magnolia Manor is all about is to check out our quarterly Manor Magazine. Here, you will meet staff members and residents who are doing great things to enrich one another’s lives, in body, mind and spirit.

As a long-established nonprofit organization, Magnolia Manor has always given back to the community by using the generosity of donors to serve those in need. We encourage individual contributors, corporate sponsors, advocates, and volunteers to donate their time and resources in support of our work. This includes a fund designated to providing a home for prospective residents who could not otherwise afford to live in a senior living community.

Magnolia Manor – a Christian, nonprofit senior living organization serving South Georgia.
Upon her death more than 75 years ago, a woman in South Georgia asked that her 392 acres be used to provide a home for the elderly. It was her generous donation and sincere intention that enabled the creation of Magnolia Manor. With nine locations throughout South Georgia, Magnolia Manor now offers independent living, assisted living, catered living, memory care, rehabilitation services, and skilled nursing options, all at a rate that’s affordable for the average Georgian.

We invite you to learn more about how you can benefit from the nonprofit Christian focus and commitment at Magnolia Manor by contacting us online or giving us a call at 1-855-540-LIFE.
