Mrs. Kate Witte’s vision for a home for the aged almost wasn’t fulfilled after her passing, but a group of community leaders decided to nurture her vision and opened a small home in her name in 1953 on what is now the Americus campus. In 1957, as waning support led to the closure of that home, the dream was again kept alive by a group of Methodists and other community leaders. They recognized the need to form a partnership that would later be known as Magnolia Manor whose first home opened in 1963. Many of us know this story, but are you aware that one of our current Americus resident’s mother, Ethel Wellons, was the first matron of the Kate Witte Home? What a great way to celebrate and remember our past! Please look within this issue because you definitely want to read this story. We have come a long way from that simple three-bedroom home built on what was once the Witte farm. In this issue, you will learn that we continue to grow with the acquisition of a 169-bed nursing home that is now called Magnolia Manor of Midway located in Liberty County. This is our fourth coastal campus and ninth campus that bears the Magnolia Manor name. Midway’s 169 beds also add to the 1,418 units we currently support and now becomes part of our “homes.” As the old saying goes, “But wait! There’s more!” At their October 2019 Board of Trustees meeting, our Board endorsed an additional vision to create a new campus in northern Muscogee County. This Columbus campus, which will be known as The Lodge at Magnolia Manor, will add another multi-level option for care. It will include an additional 304 units to our ever expanding “home” and allow us to serve another segment of the community that is currently underserved in our organization. The front cover represents the main entrance of the cornerstone building on this new campus, but read the article to see why we are so excited about this new addition. So, we have come from a vision of a home that almost didn’t happen to an organization that will soon be ten campuses serving almost 1,800 seniors daily across the South Georgia Conference. I believe we are fulfilling Mrs. Kate Witte’s dream! These latest additions continue to help secure the future of Magnolia Manor for decades. We are literally creating our future every day as we continue to celebrate our past. Why do we think Magnolia Manor is so unique? Read each of the articles in this magazine and you will better understand how our Mission, Vision and Values shape who we are, where we have been and where we are going. I hope you will join us on the journey.

From Lessons, To Legacy Contemporary author, B.J. Neblett said, “We are the sum total of our experiences. Those experiences – be they positive or negative – make us the person we are, at any given point in our lives.” As I look back over my life, important lessons were everywhere. My cousin shot me. At point blank range. I learned ALL guns are loaded, no matter what someone tells you. My uncle learned not to drink after creating his own Muscadine wine and getting sick from it. My dad learned not to smoke after trying to smoke a grape vine. I learned you NEVER want to chew tobacco! I also learned not to stick forks in electrical sockets. My cousin taught me that if you tie aluminum foil to dozens of hydrogen-filled balloons, you can scramble fighter jets from the Air Force base nearby. And you WILL get in trouble for doing it! I learned just how quickly homemade fireworks can burn 40 acres of pasture. Twice. Yep, lessons are everywhere, and some of them were painfully difficult. Our family was active in our little Methodist church and lived those values at home and in the community. My dad made the commitment to do a kind deed for a needy person every day; and for as long as I can remember, he did that. Mom is the Godliest person I’ve ever met. Every night our family would gather at bedtime and we would have a family devotion and prayer time. I am the person of faith I am today because of their example and the lessons I learned from them. Growing up, I tried to be godly—except, apparently, when it came to my sisters. For some reason, I was never quite able to be kind to them as a child. One of them tells me I used to call her a cow. I don’t remember doing it, but she sure does! I am ashamed to say that I once carved my sister’s initials into the lectern at church just so she would get in trouble. Because of those hurtful things, now I try not to hurt others by the things I say or do. We truly are the sum total of our experiences—positive and negative! I suppose I’m no different from anyone else. What have you learned from the past? We take pride in some things we learned, and we hang our heads in embarrassment because of others. Through them all, we learn how to be better people, and we shape our future using the tools of the past. The Good News is that we don’t have to be held captive by our past. We can turn over a new leaf. We can change. We can become what we’ve always dreamed of being. If we have been selfish, we can be generous. If we’ve been hurtful, we can be helpful. We can leave a legacy that overshadows a negative past. And it’s never too late to start. Join me on the journey!

MISSION We serve all through love and support for a lifetime The Lodge at Magnolia Manor in Columbus is Magnolia Manor’s Newest Jewel. Our mission is to serve all through love and support for a lifetime. Although historically, our primary emphasis has been on serving lower to moderate income individuals and couples, Magnolia Manor completed a business case study that recognized the need to expand our reach to a larger segment of the Columbus community which is currently underserved. Through this desire, a vision was born to create The Lodge at Magnolia Manor. On October 23, 2019, our Board of Trustees gave its final blessing to launch an ambitious 20-month construction project at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Pierce Chapel Road in Columbus, Georgia. The Lodge at Magnolia Manor will be located on 41 acres of rolling hills in north Muscogee County adjacent to the Pierce Chapel United Methodist Church. This will be our tenth campus after acquiring a 169bed nursing center in Liberty County in Midway, Georgia earlier this year.
The Lodge at Magnolia Manor will be a beautiful new community for older adults who want an all-inclusive lifestyle that provides for their social, spiritual, mental and physical well-being. The facility is projected to include a spa with hair, nail and massage services, a fitness center, on site health care providers and an inspiring chapel. It will also include multiple dining venues and gathering spaces, along with an outdoor deck overlooking the property and plenty of other amenities on site. Along with the beautiful, well-maintained grounds, residents will be able to enjoy regularly scheduled educational, recreational, cultural, and spiritual experiences at The Lodge at Magnolia Manor. Staff began accepting refundable priority deposits for The Lodge at Magnolia Manor in August. Those who signed up for the priority program will be able to personalize their home by choosing colors, flooring, cabinets and other features. The next step, scheduled to begin on or before February, 2020, will be to secure nonrefundable commitments Article continued on page 6

from individuals and couples so they can begin selecting from among several spacious floorplans and fixtures for their new home. Housing options include smaller private apartments, as well as large two-bedroom, two-bath apartments and villas. The Lodge at Magnolia Manor is projected to consist of 304 residences, including 100 independent living apartments, 24 villas, 30 assisted living memory support suites, 48 assisted living apartments, 72 private room long-term care residences and 30 private short-term rehabilitation suites. Groundbreaking is currently scheduled for October 2020. We anticipate construction will be complete in mid-2022. Meetings have already been held with city officials concerning utilities, zoning and permitting, and the project is on schedule. This new campus draws on Magnolia Manor’s roots in the United Methodist Church to give seniors a loving, Christian environment where compassion and respect can be felt by each resident. This nurturing and loving Christian atmosphere is the
6
embodiment of our mission and is sure to help residents enjoy life, family and friends in a comfortable setting. Mark R. Todd, President/CEO states, “This is an exciting project for the Magnolia Manor family. Our Board of Trustees, staff and other supporters of our ministry think this will be an outstanding addition to the services we provide to our residents and their families. Columbus is a wonderful opportunity for us to bring the latest and highest quality amenities to the people we serve. Magnolia Manor has always been known for offering outstanding residential support to the loved ones we serve. Now, we will have the newest facilities to match.” For anyone interested in additional information, please contact The Lodge at Magnolia Manor sales office located at 6501 Veterans Parkway, Suite 4-B in Columbus, Georgia 31909 or call the office at 706-221-2090.

Magnolia Manor Welcomes the Midway Campus On September 10 of this year, Magnolia Manor purchased the Woodlands Health and Rehabilitation skilled nursing center located in Midway, Georgia. With a name change to Magnolia Manor of Midway, this 169-bed facility became the ninth location in the growing network of Magnolia Manor senior living communities across south Georgia. The current Administrator, Amro Amer, transitioned with Magnolia Manor and has been working closely with senior staff to lead the facility through the process. With the help of contractors and Magnolia Manor personnel, we have already made improvements. Magnolia Manor President and CEO, Mark R. Todd, and the Board of Directors have approved the implementation of a three-year plan to upgrade the building and grounds and make changes to the care program. By completing this multi-million dollar project, Magnolia Manor expects to positively transform every aspect of the facility and its operations.
“We are excited about bringing our faithbased culture of excellence to the Midway campus,” stated Todd. “Magnolia Manor has extensive training available to staff who are new to our organization. We look forward to sharing our culture with residents, their
families, and our staff. But more importantly, we hope people notice how those values make a difference in the way we serve.” As a facility serving a population that often goes overlooked, Magnolia Manor of Midway will be a community designed to enhance the quality of life for those in need of skilled nursing care. Revised policies and procedures will be put in place to help instill our mission to serve all through love and support for a lifetime. Despite the many tasks currently pending completion, Magnolia Manor has not lost sight of the ultimate goal - to care for others.
“Our primary focus is on caring for people, not making a profit. As a United Methodist Minister, I especially appreciate the fact that our organizational culture is based on a Servant Leadership model with its roots in the Christian faith,” stated Senior VP for Communications, Steve Vinson. “That means we care for our residents, our staff, and our property. We are called to be good stewards of all that we have. As a result, we strive to strike a balance between resident needs and the sustainability of our ministry. I think the community will appreciate our approach.” To remain up-to-date on this new venture, please visit our website at www.magnoliamanor.com. We appreciate your support!

VISION
Our communities are about life and living As we look toward a promising future, we look to the past to appreciate the helping hands that carried us through our weakest moments, and are grateful for the wisdom gathered from lessons learned along the way. It has been said in many ways that we must never forget where we came from. After all, our past is a tool used to build the future. With this in mind, we can never forget the building blocks used to lay the foundation of Magnolia Manor. Thanks to Americus Retirement Center resident, Mildred Tyler, and her daughter, Pam Tyler, we have a first-hand recollection of the story behind that foundation. It all began with Kate Witte’s vision. Kate and her brother, Charlie, were born to German immigrants, Earnest and Mary Yettie Shriber. Mr. Shriber worked as a gardener for Colonel Timothy M. Furlow, an acclaimed politician who later become the mayor of Americus. Colonel Furlow gave the Shribers a house on an acre of land across from his home in the countryside just outside Americus. The young couple acquired another acre and started their family, but it wasn’t long before Mrs. Shriber became a widow. The details of Mr. Shriber’s fate are unclear. Nonetheless, Mrs. Shriber
demonstrated great resilience and managed to support the family on her own. She passed away in 1885, when Kate was 24 years old. After her mother’s death, Kate moved into the city where she purchased a home. She rented out rooms to a family of three and continued managing the land she inherited from her mother. In 1907, Kate married Germanborn widower, Louis Witte, in a wedding ceremony held at her home. While they never had any children together, Louis did have a son named Willie from his previous marriage. Upon reaching adulthood, Willie moved to Florida. Kate and Louis moved to her mother’s farm where they eventually accumulated more land. Louis passed away in 1923, which left Kate to manage the land alone. She hired help and lived out the rest of her life working on the farm until passing away. In her will, she divided her monetary wealth among four individuals and left her land to an organization called the Rock of Ages Home, Inc. Kate also left specific instructions in regards to the land. It was to be used to create a home for the elderly called the Kate Witte Home for the Aged. But the vision almost never became a reality.

Resident Mildred Tyler with Daughter Pam at Maganolia Manor of Americus According to legal documents, the home was supposed to be initiated within five years once Kate’s will went into effect. If the Rock of Ages failed to carry out this task within the given time frame, ownership of the farm would revert to Kate’s estate. It isn’t clear why the organization failed to fulfill the vision, but the land was set to return to her estate. Her stepson, Willie, was the direct beneficiary. Unfortunately, he had already passed away. So his widow, Florence Witte, took matters into her own hands. Florence sought to obtain the 380 acres of land in a lawsuit against Rock of Ages, but before the case ever reached the federal court, both parties were able to come to an agreement. This brought the Home into fruition. The Kate Witte Home for the Aged was built in 1953, equipped with three bedrooms, one bath, a living room, dining room, and kitchen. It also featured hardwood floors and a screened in porch. The beds, along with other supplies, were donated from the old Americus City Hospital. Locals within the community donated many other items such as furniture, a stove, a television, and more. Students from the Trade School, known today as South Georgia Technical College in Americus, painted

and made repairs to the items. A women’s organization called the Junior Welfare League, was closely involved in establishing the home. They continued to be involved even after the home opened in 1953. The Kate Witte Home for the Aged began operating as an assisted living facility. Ms. Alice Wheatley and Mrs. E. M. Rogers were the first residents. The Rock of Ages, Inc. hired a cook and a housekeeper to perform house duties. They also hired Mrs. Ethel Wellons to serve as the house manager. Mrs. Wellons was a well-known figure within the community and oversaw the daily functions of the home. She was responsible for planning the meals, ordering groceries, and other services in relation to caring for the two residents. The women of the Junior Welfare League assisted her by making weekly grocery trips. Eventually, five women within the group were added to the Rock of Ages board of directors. Later, the board decided that members would be elected from local groups (Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions Club, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Civitan, Beta Sigma Phi, Pilot Club, and the Junior Welfare League). Together, they made decisions to improve the
VISION
Our communities are about life and living overall well-being for residents in the home. For the next four years, the home operated successfully. When Mrs. Wheatly passed away, Mrs. Wellons resigned and the home was sold to a private buyer. The board of directors knew that without the Kate Witte Home, the land would return to Kate’s estate; so they began looking for a solution. At the same time, the need for elderly care began to grow on a national scale. In 1957, the South Georgia Methodist Conference began researching ways to serve the elderly population of South Georgia. Research showed that there was a great need for long-term care for the elderly, so the Conference formed the South Georgia Home for the Aging. They began looking for a site to house their newly formed organization and stumbled across the Rock of Ages. After negotiating for some time, the board of
directors at Rock of Ages deeded 395 acres to the South Georgia Home for the Aging, which gave birth to what is now Magnolia Manor. Philanthropic figures like Kate Witte, Ethel Wellons, and others within the community were instrumental in bringing the Magnolia Manor vision to life in the early stages. Since then, Magnolia Manor has been serving seniors from all over the country. Interestingly enough, one of those residents happens to be the daughter of Ethel Wellons. Mildred Tyler, a resident at the Americus location, has lived at Magnolia Manor for the past few years. Her mother’s selfless act of servant leadership set the tone for generations to come. It is because of their belief in the vision that Magnolia Manor can continue being a community of life and living.

Evacuation at Magnolia Manor of Americus

VALUES
Commitment to our faith tradition Hurrication is a fairly new term used to describe an extended period of unexpected leisure and recreation spent away from home due to a storm. When your home could potentially be in the path of a hurricane, it can be terrifying and stressful. It was quite a different story during Hurricane Dorian in September of this year. Our residents and staff demonstrated true resilience and patience during the evacuation process. There was laughter, dancing, chapel services, and an opportunity to make new friends. Nothing fills our hearts more than to know that our residents are happy and feel safe enough to decide it’s a “hurrication” instead of an evacuation. There is no doubt that the faith of our staff and residents plays a major part in making what could be a bad situation, a great one! For the past couple of years, Magnolia Manor has raised money through fundraising events to improve our emergency preparedness initiative across the organization. Campus administrators and their staff all play a part in developing a plan to help our residents to safety. But as St. Marys Administrator, Lisa Batistelli says, “You can have a plan in a binder on a shelf, but you will never know how well it works until you put it to the test.” For all three of our coastal campuses, that plan was pulled off the shelf and tested-again. Regina Morton, Director of Food and Nutrition
Services in Richmond Hill, shares one example of what took place. “We had a three-day, in-house plan which calls for having plenty of stocked items in place. When we knew we were traveling, we switched to the travel plan. The travel plan requires us to make sure residents have a good breakfast before evacuating, and food for lunch while evacuating. We also have to be very mindful of those who are diabetic or need medication.” There were many players on the team across our organization. Medical staff gathered medicine, oxygen, and other health care items for the residents. The maintenance staff worked to secure the buildings and ensured residents had wheelchairs and walkers to ease the transportation process. Employees from our corporate office offered their assistance, working out many details behind the scenes. Apart from Magnolia Manor employees, there were local EMT’s, firefighters, and volunteers at each campus involved in the evacuation process. They assisted by getting our residents on and off buses and vans with comforting words and kind smiles. Americus Nursing Center Administrator Susie Fussell stated, “It is so rewarding to work for an organization that prioritizes emergency preparedness and safety for residents and staff. It’s also great that we have community partners, such as members of the Sumter County Emergency Article continued on page 14

Residents and staff who evacuated to our campuses in Columbus and Moultrie also expressed their gratitude for the staff’s sincere display of hospitality. They were greeted with welcome signs and a prayer from the chaplain. Moultrie residents went out of their way to let them know it was a pleasure having them in their building, and the staff eagerly made themselves available to assist with anything that came up. Evacuation to Magnolia Manor of Americus Planning Committee and the Americus Fire department, who are willing to help at a moment’s notice. With each event, we have become more organized in executing our evacuation plan and working to make the process less stressful for everyone involved.” From the staff on the evacuating campuses to the host campuses receiving the evacuees, EVERYONE involved matters in an event like an evacuation. It is clear that Magnolia Manor staff go above and beyond. “It’s amazing to see people in action when something like this occurs,” shared Mike Battle. Our staff really stepped up. I had staff eager and willing to volunteer.” While evacuating residents from a senior living community is a complex undertaking, it takes just as much effort to prepare a safe place for them. Evacuees from St. Simons Island Assisted Living were hosted by our Americus campus. St. Simons Island Nursing Center evacuees were welcomed by our Columbus campus. St. Marys residents were hosted by our Moultrie campus, and Richmond Hill evacuees found safety at Dooly Campground in Vienna. The receiving campuses sprang into action when they discovered they would be hosting residents. Ronnie Lang, St. Simons Island IL/AL Administrative Assistant, can’t say enough about the staff in Americus, “Our arrival to the Americus campus was more like an invasion! But the staff made us feel very welcome. Our residents commended the staff for being so welcoming!”
14
But it wasn’t just staff who went out of their way to make the evacuation so successful. There were numerous volunteers from surrounding churches who prepared and served meals, entertained and just visited with their new friends from the coast. We saw a spirit of generosity and sacrifice that made us all proud. Senior VP for Communications Steve Vinson said, “Anyone who says the Church is sometimes not very Christian has never seen these congregations at work! They gave up time with their own families to help ours, and generously donated so much. There is no way we could ever thank them adequately!” We are fortunate to have residents who were true troopers throughout the Dorian adventure. They tolerated all the changes such an event demands of them physically and mentally. Our incredible staff, along with the residents’ great attitudes, helped make it a good experience instead of a nightmare. “It was like a big spend-the-night party! If there hadn’t been a call for ‘lights out,’ some would have kept on talking all night!” shared Jean Trego, Richmond Hill resident. “I am thankful for the leaders who were willing to evacuate with us to make sure we were okay. I am grateful to them and to the good Lord!” When we hear comments like Jean’s, plus others who say the evacuation was a “blessing all the way around” and a “wonderful experience,” we have to acknowledge the Lord’s hand in it all. We appreciate the prayers for our residents, staff, and all the families involved. Dorian passed us by. Our residents are back home. To God be the glory!
Year-end Giving: Save Money and Make a Difference Nonprofits like Magnolia Manor receive the majority of our charitable gifts in the last two months of the calendar year. We depend on these gifts so the League of the Good Samaritan can keep providing for residents who have run out of savings. Make Magnolia Manor one of your supported charities and make a difference in the life of a needy senior. After all, it could easily be you or someone you love! Here’s a little incentive to help: if you give appreciated securities like stocks, or even mutual funds, you could save BIG on your taxes. Here’s how you could save TWICE. If you have owned stock for more than a year, ask your broker to transfer the stock directly to Magnolia Manor. DO NOT cash it in, then donate the money because you would owe taxes. By transferring directly to us, you are able to claim as a deduction the full fair market value of the gift at the time of the transfer (usually, an average of the high and low price on the date of donation). This is regardless of how much you paid for the stock when you bought it. How do you save twice? First, by transferring instead of selling, you avoid paying income taxes, AND you avoid paying capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid for the stock and its fair market value on the date of your gift. Generally, you can deduct up to a maximum of 30% of your adjusted gross income by donating stock you would normally have to pay capital gains taxes on. Ask your broker or tax advisor if this is a good option for you. We’d be happy to provide details to your professional team about how to make the transfer to us.
Estate Planning? While you’re talking to your advisor, why not name Magnolia Manor in your estate plans? You have supported us during your lifetime, so why not make a final donation? Your gift can be a specific dollar amount, or even a percentage of your estate. You can designate it for a particular purpose, program or campus; or you can specify that it go to our endowment fund. Contact Steve Vinson, Senior VP for Communications, if you would like to discuss options. He can be reached by email at svinson@magnoliamanor.com, in the office at (229) 931-5925, or by cell at (662) 891-3236.

Dignity, respect, care, and compassion for all Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that to everything, there is a time and a season–a purpose and a reason. Residents are admitted to Magnolia Manor with the purpose of finding long-term care that best suits their needs. But some residents find much more than that: Some find a new way to fulfill their purpose. Mr. Larry Baker is one of those residents. Larry came to Magnolia Manor of Columbus East about two years ago. He immediately knew it was no coincidence. In fact, he feels he was sent here to fulfill a purpose. Larry is certainly dedicated to the mission. On a typical day at Magnolia Manor, you can find him spreading cheer through the halls and offering true companionship to his fellow residents. “I start on the bottom floor in the morning and work my way up. I meet with people and see how their day is going. I see if there’s something they want to talk about, or if there’s anything I can do to make their day better,” stated Larry. His drive to serve others comes from a deep love for people, which he learned at an early age. A native of Columbus, Larry grew up the oldest of nine children. He spent a lot of his time caring for his younger siblings. He even worked a part
time job after school to help his mother manage their living expenses. This marked the start of Larry’s selfless generosity. Larry graduated from Carver High School in 1971 and began working at a textile mill. He worked there for one year before relocating to Atlanta where he would spend the next 45 years of his life. While in Atlanta, Larry worked at the airport and attended worship services regularly. He eventually joined the church and became a member of the choir. One day, the choir decided to secede from the church. Larry didn’t follow suit. But to his surprise, he found himself being called into his pastor’s office. “I couldn’t think of anything I did wrong. But my pastor called me into his office and said, ‘Mr. Baker, I know you think you did something wrong. But that’s not the case. I want you to be the choir director,’” Larry explained. Immediately, Larry immersed himself in the role. Eventually, his great leadership skills landed him a position as the Assistant Director of the church. Larry served in this new role until unfortunate circumstances caused him to move back to his hometown. His mother became ill and required his assistance. So, he retired from his 17 year career at the airport, his church Article continued on page 18

to work closely with the Activity Director, Tawnja Jones. “It’s not rare for Mr. Baker to make requests or share great ideas to improve the experience for all residents. On one occasion, he asked me if we could hold exercise classes outside, since it was such a beautiful day. Thoughtful gestures like that are what make him a great example of a servant leader,” stated Tawnja.
Resident Larry Baker and Tawnja Jones - Activities position, and moved back to Columbus to care for her. Shortly after returning, he began to have health complications of his own. He began experiencing poor circulation in his feet due to diabetes. As a result, he had both feet amputated. Larry’s doctor recommended Magnolia Manor to him as a suitable place to undergo rehabilitative therapy, and it has been his home ever since. Now, Larry has settled in and made quite a name for himself. In fact, Larry has added another leadership role to his repertoire. “I’ve been voted President of the Resident Council and it’s been rewarding. I get a lot out of it. It helps me understand what love for one another is all about. I enjoy being here for other residents and providing a listening ear to help them through any problems they may have,” said Larry. As the President of the Resident Council, Larry serves as a listening ear and voice for his fellow residents. This requires him

Larry isn’t stopping there. He and Tawnja are working together to implement a mentoring program for the youth of Columbus. In this program, residents will have the opportunity to share their wisdom with a younger generation and provide an environment where the children can be heard as well. By mentoring the boys and girls in his hometown, Larry hopes to help them understand the importance of education. He appreciates the staff for allowing him the opportunity to contribute by improving the quality of life at Magnolia Manor, as well as for individuals in the community. “I love the staff at Magnolia Manor. An organization can only be as good as its staff. I see how well the staff here conduct themselves and how they keep everything so organized. It makes me want to be a team player and continue doing my part as President of the Resident Council,” Larry explained. Whether he’s mentoring youth, helping with activities, or comforting other residents, Larry serves as an inspiration to us all. A look at his life will remind you that you can make a difference in every stage of life. We wish him the best in every endeavor he sets out to accomplish. Be on the lookout for more to come from Mr. Larry in the future.
Thank you for partnering with us since 1963 to care for older adults. It’s only because of people like you that Magnolia Manor has been able to Keep The Promise made more than half a century ago, that No resident would ever have to leave if, through no fault of their own, they were no longer able to pay for their care. Each year we ask for your help because residents are living far longer than they ever expected. What once seemed like a comfortable retirement nest egg is gone, and they need help. Some only need a few dollars to make ends meet, but others are just plain destitute and need as much help as they can get. All deserve to live out their final years with dignity. You restore their hope and preserve their dignity by giving generously to The League of the Good Samaritan. Each day our residents receive help because of your generosity. • Your gifts provide nutritious meals, a comfortable place to call home and even clothing to those who can no longer afford to purchase their own. • Your gifts also help fund a spiritual life program on every campus. Our chaplains listen, pray, teach, preach and comfort. They even conduct funeral services for residents without a church family. • Your gifts are a message of hope to more than 1,400 Magnolia Manor residents daily. Please give generously. Help us Keep The Promise. A donation envelope is enclosed for your convenience. Gratefully,

Magnolia Manor is a member of the Georgia Health Care Association and Georgia Center for Assisted Living (GHCA/GCAL) as well as the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). For over half a century, these organizations have represented long term health care providers. They have implemented quality advancement measures, lobbied to improve pressing matters, and provided the tools and resources necessary to train and educate health care professionals. Every day we make an effort to put those resources to good use, and so far those efforts have not gone unrecognized. The GHCA Affiliate Annual Meeting and Quality Summit is held each year to recognize members who have performed exceptionally well. This year the meeting occurred in August at Lake Lanier in Buford, GA. Individuals from our staff attended the ceremony to represent Magnolia Manor, and they didn’t come home empty handed. In fact, several campuses and individuals received awards. AHCA/NCAL Bronze Quality Award Recipients Magnolia Manor of Americus Nursing Center

Bryant Media Awards Recipient Photo in the Newspaper and Television Coverage - Magnolia Manor of Columbus West
Congratulations to every campus that received an award! Keep up the good work!
“I have learned so much about how assisted living communities operate in other states. I’ve also learned that assisted living communities are growing at a fairly rapid rate. With this growth, there has been an increase in regulatory and consumer demands. The NCAL is diligent in distributing information from federal regulators and legislators to health care providers. I can use this knowledge to help Georgia meet these demands which will also be of great service to residents and staff at Magnolia Manor,� stated Barbara. As Barbara progresses in her role on the NCAL Board of Directors, she plans to continue helping her fellow members maintain a standard of quality in the assisted living industry. She also plans to run for office again in 2020. With the full support of her Magnolia Manor family, her inspirational zeal for senior living is certain to propel her to great heights. Congratulations Barbara, for a job well done!

Healthy mind, body, and spirit Magnolia Manor of Marion County received the Georgia Quality Award this year. In previous years, they’ve earned the Bronze, then the Silver National Quality Award. Many of the employees have also obtained recognition for outstanding work performance as well. Although the accolades are a plus, it’s the residents that make this place a rare gem. Resident Flora Mae Robinson is a prime example. She made Magnolia Manor her home nearly four years ago and has been satisfied ever since. “If you want a good home, this is the place to be. They are very good. Anything you need, they will do it for you. Just ask. I’m happy here! I’m very, very happy!” exclaimed Flora. After retiring from her occupation in the Health Department, Flora began to experience complications with her back. She scheduled an appointment with her doctor and discovered she would have to undergo a serious back operation. The outcome of the operation inhibited her ability to complete everyday tasks on her own. As a result, she was
admitted to Magnolia Manor where she received rehabilitative therapy. Even now, after she has recovered, Flora still attends rehabilitative therapy. “When I first got here, I couldn’t do anything for myself. Now I don’t have any trouble with my back. This is a great place for therapy. I’m still taking therapy to keep me going, and it’s the best thing to have.” Flora enjoys a full life at Magnolia Manor. On a typical day, you can find her participating in the scheduled activities, attending church services, or painting. In addition to worship led by our chaplain, Betty Lee Scott, different religious groups from various spiritual backgrounds visit the campus to hold services. Flora especially enjoys their singing. Mrs. Robinson and her roommate take pride in making beautiful paintings to brighten the walls of their room. When she isn’t participating in the activities, attending church services, or painting, you can find her relaxing on the back porch after completing a healthy exercise routine. Flora even takes part in the occasional outing Article continued on page 24

say, ‘Me.’ And he would say, ‘You’re looking at your mother.’ Those words would lift me up and I would stop crying. I will never forget that.”
When Flora was just two months old, her mother passed away; which left her father to care for her and her siblings alone. Even with the difficulties of raising children as a single parent, her father was able to instill a solid moral foundation in them. Her father required them to attend Sunday school and church services every Sunday, no questions asked. Whenever Flora was saddened or overwhelmed by the thoughts of losing her mother, her loving father was there to comfort her.
Flora advises others who may have experienced the loss of a mother or guardian to “keep going and never let it stop you.” And that’s just what she did. Flora kept going. She finished school and married her husband, Eugene Robinson. They settled in his hometown, Buena Vista, where they raised their son, James. James graduated from Tri-County High School and began his career in Ellaville working in the manufacturing industry.
“When I got sad and cried about my mother, my dad would take me to the mirror and say, ‘Flo, who do you see in there?’ I would cry and

It wasn’t long before tragedy struck again in Flora’s life. At the age of 25, their son suffered a fatal heart attack. His sudden death left Flora and her husband in a total state of shock.

Not even a year after their son’s death, Mr. Robinson passed away leaving Flora
Whenever you’re feeling down, think of Ms. Flora. She has experienced loss on many levels, but she hasn’t allowed that to eclipse the joys of what she gained. Though her immediate family can never be replaced, she has confidence in knowing that she has a loving home and family here at Magnolia Manor. The staff, residents, volunteers, donors, and everyone in between work diligently to make Magnolia Manor a community of life and living. If you’d like to visit or be a part of the Magnolia Manor family, we invite you to reach out. As a special gift to you, Ms. Flora would personally like to extend a warm welcome your way,
completely distraught. “At first, I didn’t know what to do. I can talk about it now, and it doesn’t bother me because the Lord took me through it all. But at first it was very difficult,” Flora stated. “I’m happy now because I think about the good things. I’m here at Magnolia Manor and the staff is so good to me. Everyone here treats me like family. My family is gone so they are my family. It’s proof that things can work out.” Despite the trying times in her life, Flora has managed to find joy. A combination of spiritual, physical, and emotional care provided at Magnolia Manor, has allowed her to maintain that joy. “I turned 75 in August. I’m so proud to be 75

Creative change and constant improvement
Magnolia Manor of St. Marys New Landscaping
Magnolia Manor of St. Marys is “home” to several dozen residents in 36 apartments. Therefore, that home should be the best it can be. What do people usually notice first when visiting someone’s home? More often than not, it’s how it appears on the outside. Each of our campuses has its own unique personality and setting. Our maintenance department is dedicated to making the exterior look beautiful and welcoming. For the past few months, our St. Marys campus has been getting a little extra lovin’ to make it even more inviting. St. Marys Administrator, Lisa Battistelli, felt it was important to make upgrades to the campus exterior for a couple of reasons. “Our residents are most important here, but the exterior presentation matters as well,” Lisa explains. “If we can’t take care of our grounds, people may think, ‘How can they take care of Mom and Dad?’” That’s where Coastal Greenery landscaping comes in. One of their company’s core values is relationships, and it didn’t take long for Lisa to realize this would be just what Magnolia Manor in St. Marys needed. It was also helpful to see an example of their work on our St. Simons Island
26
and Richmond Hill campuses. Recently, they began handling the landscaping at our newly acquired Midway campus as well. Coastal Greenery seeks to be the best at managing and maintaining clients’ landscapes through constant contact with the key decision makers on the property. “That sounds simple and obvious,” states Terry Godwin, Director of Sales for Coastal Greenery, “but this practice is often overlooked by a provider that has become complacent and comfortable in their work. As a rule, our property managers make routine visits to the site to discuss issues that are most important to the client. We believe this is the foundation to accurately Magnolia’s expectations and promoting a healthy outdoor environment.” Chandler White, Client Relations Manager for Coastal Greenery on the St. Marys campus says, “Our focus is to get to know our customers on a personal level, educate them on any issue throughout the landscape, and give the faculty [staff] more time to focus on other tasks within the facility. Of course, we aim to enhance and beautify the property so residents can appreciate Magnolia Manor’s efforts to provide a most
pleasant atmosphere for aging adults.” After several initial meetings and discussions between Coastal Greenery and the staff at Magnolia Manor in St. Marys, a plan was formulated and implementation began this past summer. The first step was to get the grounds in order. The Coastal Greenery team cut the shrubbery and turf to a manageable level. They then began to concentrate on weed control and repairing the irrigation system. They also enhanced the mulch on the flower beds. Don Locklin, Operations Manager for Coastal Greenery Camden County says, “Going forward we will be looking towards improving turf health and weed control in the turf, as well as trimming along the perimeter of the property. Additionally, we will look to improve the landscape design where needed by removing or replacing plant material. We are also continually looking for safety hazards that need to be addressed such as trip/ slip hazards or holes in the turf or paved areas.” Just in time for the October Low Country Boil, new pine straw was in place, along with beautiful fall mums. Our residents and guests enjoyed delicious food outside among the newly spruced up grounds. It’s made a good impression on our residents. Independent Living resident June Todd says, “My husband and I have noticed a definite improvement to the grounds since Coastal
Magnolia Manor of St. Marys New Landscaping
Greenery started. The mums they planted out front are lovely. We are very excited to see the continued improvements!” “We are excited to be a part of the Magnolia Manor community of senior living,” shares Godwin. “Magnolia Manor has been a part of several of our lives here at Coastal Greenery. We will strive to keep the landscape beautiful and well maintained throughout the seasons to come. We’re grateful.” Magnolia Manor is thankful to be partnering with a company like Coastal Greenery who understands our desire to make the exterior of our campus as beautiful as the residents residing on the inside. We invite you to stop by our St. Marys campus any time, or any of our other campuses, to enjoy the scenery we work hard to keep pristine.

GIVING In Action...
Kendall Crew Magnolia Manor is changing in many ways this fall season. Plans are underway for the construction of a new campus, and we’ve adopted another campus into the Magnolia Manor family. In the midst of these changes, we also welcomed Kendall Crew, the new Director of Annual Giving! She has the task of researching and developing unique ways to improve fundraising events, as well as create new ones. The money raised by these events will help improve the quality of life for our residents. Although she is new to the Magnolia Manor staff, Kendall’s work here began long before her first day as an employee.
Delta Sorority. Even with the many adventures of starting a new chapter in life, Kendall never forgot about the residents at Magnolia Manor. In fact, she continued to volunteer through the GSW athletic program. “I also volunteered at Magnolia while I was in college. I remember one time I had the opportunity to dress up as Superwoman for the Superhero 5K. Being able to help with events like that inspired me to want to plan them as well,” stated Kendall.
Kendall grew up in Americus, where her family taught her strong values entrenched in the Christian faith. One important lesson came from her grandmother’s demonstration of compassion and selfless generosity. “My grandmother visits Magnolia Manor every Tuesday to play music for the residents. When I was in high school, I would go with her and sing with them. I always enjoyed spending time with the residents,” Kendall recalled. In addition to her love for the residents, Kendall developed an interest in sports. She played basketball, softball, and tennis while attending Southland Academy. It was her outstanding academic abilities and tennis skills that landed her a full scholarship to Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW). As a student at GSW, she participated in a business organization called Enactus. She also pledged Kappa
Kendall Crew with Steven Blythe
Nearly a year after volunteering for the Superhero 5K, Kendall’s desires were fulfilled. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from GSW with a bachelor’s degree in Business Management and was offered a position with Magnolia Manor shortly after. She accepted her new position as the Director of Annual Giving and immediately began making a name for herself. Her debut fundraising event was the John R. Batts Memorial Golf Classic in Macon. With the support of a loving family and co-workers Article continued on page 30

committed to her success, she was a large factor in making the event successful by raising almost $13,000. The following weekend, she played a part in leading the St. Marys Low Country Boil to another triumphant year. This event brought in over $15,000. All funds will go towards our emergency preparedness strategy. While Kendall has been instrumental in our efforts so far, that’s not all she plans to do in her new role. “My goal is to plan events that will not only excite the community and get them involved, but also raise money that will help make a difference in the residents’ lives,” Kendall shared. When making the decision to come and work at Magnolia Manor, Kendall was excited about working for a nonprofit, faith-based organization that caters to seniors. She knew that by planning and raising money for these events, she would be helping our residents. Also, growing up in the church allowed her to appreciate the liberty of working in an environment that supports her spiritual beliefs. “I am very excited for this opportunity to work at Magnolia Manor. Not only do I get the chance to develop my skills further and better serve others, but also to build new relationships with the residents, the staff, and people within the community.” We look forward to seeing what Kendall has in store for Magnolia Manor. In the meantime, watch for information about our upcoming fundraising events. If you’d like to participate, contact Kendall at kcrew@magnoliamanor.com or visit our website at www.magnoliamanor.com. We hope to see you soon!
