Recently, I was re-reading “The Speed of Trust” by Stephen Covey and was reminded about the one thing that changes everything. He wrote, “There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and civilization throughout the world. There is one thing which, if removed, will destroy the most powerful government, the most successful business, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.

the other hand, if developed and leveraged, that one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. Yet, it is the least understood, most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time.” That one thing is TRUST. The year 2020 for Magnolia Manor will go down in history for a long list of things. Some good and some bad. Impacts from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, learning to live life with a mask, impassioned political narratives and most importantly, who you can count on and who is less trustworthy, are just a few on the list. As a healthcare organization, Magnolia Manor has been challenged like no other time in its history. Staff members have been asked to work under unbelievably difficult conditions, residents have been asked to curtail their basic way of life, and family members have been asked for patience and understanding under constantly changing conditions. All with no immediate end in sight. What do you do? I believe there is a fairly easy answer: TRUST. I trust that God will offer comfort and understanding. I trust our staff members will be dedicated, loving, and kind. I trust our residents and their families will be patient and understanding. I trust Magnolia Manor will be a place of professionalism, duty, and service to the loved ones entrusted to our care. I trust that we will work hard every day to provide a working environment that attracts the best healthcare professionals and provides the best living environment for our residents. I trust that 2021 will be better. Do you trust us? We need your support.

Happy New Year and welcome 2021! Just like other significant events in our lives, 2020 will forever be a life marker. We will always claim 2020 as unprecedented; nonetheless, 2020 can serve as a positive reminder that we should value each day. Even though we experienced a tumultuous year with many individual stories, we have so much to be thankful for. Jonathan Lockwood said, “The darkest night is often the bridge to the

brightest tomorrow.” This past year has been an experience just like life itself. In life, we’re faced with adversity, failures, and disappointments. Sometimes we stumble and fall. There are no guarantees in life, but rising strong after a significant fall is how we live a more significant life - a more wholehearted life. This mindset refuses to give up in the face of adversity and yearns to help others do the same. We can’t control everything that goes on the outside, but we can control what goes on the inside. You may ask how, and the answer begins with our thoughts. We get to choose which thoughts deserve our attention, and our thoughts lead to our attitudes which produce our actions. Therefore, the results of our daily actions and life are determined by our thoughts and how we respond to others. Proverbs 4:23 tells us that “above all else,

guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” As pastor and author Mark Batterson says, “Instead of fixating on things

that lie dimly at a distance, let’s concentrate and think on what lies clearly at hand. If yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, win the day! When you win the day, tomorrow takes care of itself.” Let’s keep winning today by planting seeds for tomorrow! The joy of life is rooted in relationships. Thank you for your commitment to our residents and your partnership with Magnolia Manor. We certainly appreciate your heart and giving in a year that kept on taking. God just asks us to be willing. As II Corinthians

giver than the gift itself. Our day and plans may be changed, but our calling to be generous does not. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 11:24-25

that “a generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.” Thank you for loving and supporting Magnolia Manor and our residents!

CNAs Catherine Kinuthia and Beatrice Njau working at Magnolia Manor of Midway

MISSION We serve all through love and support for a lifetime A typical day in the life of a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) at Magnolia Manor of Midway isn’t like any ordinary job. In fact, it’s more like coming to your second home. You have residents who seem more like family members greeting you at the door with warm smiles. Fellow staff members look out for each other and provide support when needed. For CNA’s Catherine Kinuthia and Beatrice Njau, this is enough to fuel them for the duration of their shift.

“I really look forward to coming to work because the residents are always waiting for us. The minute they see you, they’re asking if you’re working on their unit for the day,” Catherine shared. “It makes you feel like someone appreciates what you’re doing.” Although there are many perks to working as a CNA, it’s not an easy feat - especially during a pandemic. No one could have predicted a year like 2020. But when it comes to their duties as healthcare professionals, Catherine and Beatrice are prepared to administer care even in some of the most difficult circumstances.

“We are caregivers. When we entered the healthcare field, we agreed to be there and help those we care for,” stated Catherine. “You don’t run when things get tough. You wouldn’t want your doctor to leave you when you’re sick. It’s the same for the residents.” These sisters began caring for the residents at Magnolia Manor of Midway in October of 2019, but their journey to healthcare began long before then. They were introduced to their love for caring for others back in their hometown, Nairobi, Kenya. Catherine took care of her father-in-law who was a diabetic. Complications with his diabetes forced him to have both legs amputated, leaving him immobile. Catherine stepped in and cared for him until he passed away. Beatrice worked at a children’s orphanage. Many of the children were very ill and needed close attention. She served as a mother figure to these children, until she moved to the United States in July of 2009. Catherine followed shortly in November of 2009.

“It was difficult when we first moved here because we didn’t know anyone,” stated Article continued on page 6

and Rehabilitation Center in Richmond Hill. Beatrice has a similar story. A friend told her about a facility that was offering in-house training for a CNA position. She signed up for the training and began working as a CNA in 2011.

Catherine’s husband, James, is retired from the military and they have three children, John, Graham, and Vivian. Beatrice and her husband, Samuel, have a daughter, Stacy.

“The language barrier was probably the hardest challenge. I remember learning that what we refer to as ‘chips’ in Kenya is considered French fries here in the U.S.,” added Beatrice. But they continued adjusting with the help of a few people they met along the way. One day, Catherine met a woman who was teaching CNA classes in Savannah, GA. Catherine decided it would be a great way to get back into doing what she loves most - caring for others. She applied and completed her courses. In 2011, she began working as a CNA at Bryan County Health

They worked at the Richmond Hill campus for a few years. After hearing that Magnolia Manor would be opening a location in Midway and would need help, the two didn’t hesitate to offer a hand. So far, they have made quite the impression on a few of the residents.

“Beatrice and Catherine are so kind to me. They taught me how to speak a few words of their native language and they sound like angels straight from heaven!” exclaimed Nancy Rowland, resident at Midway. When the pandemic struck the nation, many uncertainties came along with it. We were not sure of how long it would last or how well residents would recover if they were

to contract the virus. Where many people would bolt at the sign of such a challenge, Catherine and Beatrice stood ready to help the residents in every way they could.

“Being on the frontlines of the pandemic is not easy, because you still have a family to go home to. But what gives you courage, is knowing that you’re making a difference in someone’s life,” stated Beatrice. “It also helps to know that you have adequate personal protective equipment and procedures in place to help reduce the spread.” Both of them fell ill and went on sick leave. In their time away, residents sent thoughts and prayers for speedy recoveries. They recovered fully and returned ready to serve the residents after a couple of weeks.

“Being a CNA is a very rewarding field. You

don’t just join because you want to have a title. You have to be willing to be more than just a title to the residents,” stated Beatrice. “When you walk into the nursing center, you have to know that you mean everything to the residents.” And they have certainly done just that. Our staff serve as a listening ear to vent to, a comforting shoulder to cry on, and a supporting hand to hold for the residents here at Magnolia Manor. After all, it is our mission to serve through love and support for a lifetime. If you’d like to hear more about how we’re caring for our residents, visit our website at www.magnoliamanor.com or follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We appreciate your support!

Dedicated staff at Magnolia Manor’s Nursing Center of Americus

VISION

How residents are living... At Magnolia Manor, we focus on taking care of our residents so they can spend more time living life. All in all, our communities are about life and living. Sandra Ryysyläinen, a resident at our St. Marys campus is the epitome of life and living. Upon meeting her, you’d quickly find that she knows no strangers. She’s always eager to meet new people and welcome them to a friendly conversation. Many of the staff at the campus refer to her as “the life of the party.” In fact, Sandra recently celebrated 100 years of life with a lifetime of memories and wisdom to show for it. Sandra was born and raised in Hamden, Connecticut. After graduating from high school, she started working at a factory installing parts onto helicopters at the start of World War II. She quickly discovered that factory work wasn’t fulfilling to her. In search of a more meaningful career, she decided to join the Navy. She completed her basic training in Long Island and Accession training (A School) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. For several months

she trained to become an Aviation Machinist Make (AMM) which required her to learn about airplanes. Once she completed training, she was stationed in Daytona Beach, FL and was assigned to the control tower. She and three other girls shared an apartment on the base and grew to be great friends. Eventually, they moved off the base into an apartment on the beach.

“We’d work our shifts and go to the beach on our days off. It was a very good duty,” shared Sandra. “We had a great time.” Sandra not only met wonderful friends, she also met the love of her life, Allan Ryysyläinen. One night while working her shift at the control tower, Sandra got a report that startled her. A naval officer had crashed his plane while coming in for a landing during his training session. Aside from a shock to his system, he walked away from the accident with no injuries. While he recovered, he was assigned to the control tower working alongside Sandra. Article continued on page 10

“One girl that worked with us told me, ‘You know, you two ought to meet each other, because you’re both Connecticut Yankees,’” Sandra laughed. The two didn’t officially meet until one night out with friends. Sandra remembers Allan came up to her and asked her to dance. She agreed and “that was the beginning.” They began meeting occasionally and hanging out with friends. A few months after they met, the war was over and the armistice between the United States and Japan was signed. Many soldiers were getting discharged from the service to return home. Allan was assigned to Jacksonville, FL to assist with the discharging process. The two remained in contact by phone and met

occasionally. One meeting in St. Augustine would change their lives.

“We were at the fort in St. Augustine and Allan asked me how I felt about getting married. I hadn’t thought about it so I told him I would think about it. A couple of days later, I told him I would like to get married. So we began making plans,” Sandra stated. Sandra received her discharge papers in November and Allan was asked to stay for another six months to close up the Naval Air Station in Daytona. They went to Allan’s hometown of Brooklyn, Connecticut and got married on December 22, 1945. Shortly after the wedding, they bought a used Pontiac for $900 and returned to Florida, where Allan finished his last six months in the service.

Staff Nicole Wright and Kim Garrigan-Jones with Magnolia Manor of St. Marys resident Sandra Ryysyläinen

Once Allan was discharged from the Navy, the couple began their new life together. Allan was accepted into Princeton University where he studied engineering. He graduated and started a long career as a Civil Engineer. Sandra remained home to care for their son, Lloyd. She recalls that the “winters in Vermont were very tough” along with other difficult times in life.

“I’ve had a lot of challenging times throughout my life. I’ve broken both hips, had to have an emergency surgery for an infection in my gallbladder, I lost my son to multiple myeloma, along with other challenges” explained Sandra. “What has helped me cope during the hard times is focusing on the good that happens as well.” There were many good times for the Ryysylainens. They traveled to many places throughout the U.S. and abroad. Some of the places they visited included Alaska, Hawaii, California, and Texas. After a rewarding career in engineering, Allan decided to retire. They agreed to settle in St. Marys and enjoy their retired life. Allan became a Shriner and they spent a lot of time volunteering. As time went on, daily chores such as driving and keeping up their home became a problem so they started looking for senior living options. That’s when they found Magnolia Manor. They scheduled a tour and discussed everything with the administrator. The idea of having transportation and an extra room for family to stay overnight sparked their interest. After thinking about it for a couple of days, they decided they would make Magnolia Manor their home in 2017.

“The staff here is wonderful! They treat me very nice. I can ask for anything and they’ll try to help me. One staff member brought me a whole case of Ensure because it’s

healthy. Another bought me a Navy hat. If I complain about the food, they do their best to get me something that I like,” Sandra shared. When her husband passed away three years ago, Sandra was devastated. She was met with another obstacle a month later when she fell and broke her hip. She relied on support from the staff at Magnolia Manor along with love from her family and friends.

“I have three wonderful grandchildren, Leslie, Devon, and Alex. I have an amazing daughter-in-law, Debbie, and four very supportive friends who take me to my appointments and different places that I need to go. I’ve been blessed,” stated Sandra. Not only has she been blessed, but she’s been a blessing to all who have the pleasure of knowing her. Whether she’s reading novels or spending time with friends, Sandra demonstrates what it means to live life to the fullest. Please join us in celebrating 100 years of life with Sandra Ryysylainen!

Always looking for ways to improve, Chaplain John Walker decided to go back to school last year to obtain his doctorate degree. We’re glad to say, he graduated last fall with his Doctoral Degree of Ministry in Clinical Pastoral Care, Counseling, and Psychotherapy!

“I am convinced that the yearning of the human spirit is to be heard. This degree program has helped me develop a more careful understanding of this human need,” explained John. Getting a doctoral degree is never an easy task. But doing so while working a fulltime job is an even greater challenge. John faced many long days participating in Zoom classes. His schedule consisted of preparing for his classes at night after long days on the job at the Americus Retirement Center. In addition to his busy schedule, John had the challenge of re-orienting himself to the rigors of academia after nearly 25 years away from the classroom. Article continued on page 14

Certified Medicial Aid, Christina Lord, and Certified Medicial Aid, Nikita Wynn, at Magnolia Manor on the Coast

VALUES

Dignity, respect, care, and compassion for all We just celebrated the holiday season. Everyone knows it’s a time for love, laughter, and fun with your closest family members and friends. But with the pandemic still an issue, this has been a unique experience for everyone - especially residents in senior living communities. Even though it’s a tough time, our staff at the Richmond Hill campus isn’t letting that stop them from spreading joy. Christina Lord and Nikita Wynn are both Certified Medical Aids (CMA) at the Richmond Hill campus. They are finding the silver lining in the clouds and helping our residents to do the same.

“I love spending time with the residents doing things that they enjoy. Some of them were in their prime in the ‘50’s, so I’ll play music that was popular at that time. We’ll dance and sing to it together,” stated Nikita. Growing up, Nikita spent a lot of time taking care of her grandmother and great grandmother. When they passed away, she found herself wondering what her next steps would be. In 2013, she began working in housekeeping at Magnolia Manor of St. Simons.

Nikita always found herself interacting with the residents beyond her housekeeping duties and discovered that caring for others was dear to her heart. So she enrolled in CNA classes, got certified, and has been making residents at Magnolia Manor smile ever since.

“The most rewarding part of my job is making the residents smile. Families can’t come in here right now, so the residents are depending on us to be their family members,” stated Nikita. “I enjoy being able to go the extra mile for them to make them happy.” With over 20 years of providing care to seniors, Christina has a similar perspective. She began working as a CNA in her hometown in Kentucky. When she and her husband moved to Georgia, she continued working as a CNA. She came to Magnolia Manor in 2015 and has no regrets making the decision.

“We have great people here. We make it fun when we’re interacting with the residents. Even though you’re working, it doesn’t feel that way,” stated Christina. Article continued on page 18

Of course, there are tough times. With the pandemic, the holidays weren’t the same. But our staff put in extra effort to make it special for the residents. A few days before Christmas, Nikita noticed some of the residents were a little sad and discouraged. She decided to play some Christmas music throughout the halls to get their spirits up. Before she knew it, everyone was singing and dancing. Christina demonstrated that same love and care when one of the residents really wanted to see their daughter. Due to the pandemic, she wasn’t able to see her daughter the whole year. Without a second thought,

“Everyone here works together as a family. I don’t like to say team. I prefer to say family because we are family,” Nikita stated. “We all check on each other because you never know what someone is going through at the moment. Our Administrator, Mr. Mike Battle is always eager to lend a helping hand. ” When they aren’t at work caring for the residents, you can find them spending time with their families.

Resident Dr. Lester Wall at Magnolia Manor of St. Simons

VALUES

Healthy mind, body and spirit Maintaining your health as you get older can be very tricky. There’s the task of finding an exercise routine that works and isn’t too intimidating for you. Let’s not forget the large, bulky equipment that can be a hassle to set-up. But some would rather spend time assembling equipment, instead of spending money on expensive gym memberships or fitness trainers. One of our very own residents at Magnolia Manor of St. Simons Island seems to have it figured out. At 91 years old, Dr. Lester Wall is an avid runner and participates in 5K races. Dr. Wall is originally from a small-town, farming community called Richwood, Ohio. He grew up in a big family with two older brothers and two older sisters who all lived to be over 90 years old. His entire family was very active and loved sports. The small school he attended had several sports for the family to enjoy. Dr. Wall liked participating on several school teams including, football, basketball, baseball, and track. When he went to college, he played on an independent

football team in Dayton, Ohio.

“My favorite sport was football, I was quick and fast,” says Dr. Wall. Growing up in that small town was a blessing to him, and he met several people who influenced his life. But few stood out more than the local doctors. Dr. Wall, like most children of that era, was delivered at home. The town had two doctors whom he became very close to as a child. They answered his questions and showed him the everyday tasks of being a doctor. By the time he reached high school, his mentors had retired and were replaced by younger physicians. These physicians invited him to hang out at the office with them because they knew that he was very interested in medicine. While sports played a large part in his younger life, Dr. Wall placed an emphasis on education and keeping his grades up was very important to him. While in college he excelled in science, double majoring in biology and chemistry. After completing his bachelor of science degrees, Article continued on page 24

CREATIVE CORNER

Resident Mary Wiley at Magnolia Manor of Macon Mary Wiley, a resident at our Macon campus, has the skills of a well-trained pianist. What tops it off is that she’s self-taught and plays by ear. But what’s even more astonishing is that she does it all without the use of her eyesight. At just eight weeks old, Mary was diagnosed with a condition called retinoblastoma. It’s a cancerous disease that only strikes babies. When she was eight months old, doctors operated on one eye in hopes of saving her eyesight. They soon learned that the illness had spread to her other eye and they would need to operate on it as well. The operation was successful in getting rid of the cancer, but it took her eyesight with it, leaving her completely blind.

“After the operation, I had quite a healthy and full childhood. Growing up blind felt normal to me because I didn’t know anything different. We had great neighbors and I had children to play with,” stated Mary. “My mom would read to me, but I always wanted to do my own reading.” Mary’s parents noticed her eagerness to learn to read, so they sought out options for her. In one of their many Article continued on page 30

Article continued from page 29

With a voice teacher for a mother and a piano in her home, Mary discovered her hidden, raw, musical talent. Her mother would often have friends over and Mary would find herself entertaining them with musical performances. Sometimes Mary’s friend, Judy, came over to visit. Judy played the accordion, Mary played the piano, and her mother would sing.

“We would gather around the piano and make music together. I’d play the piano and sing popular commercial jingles,” shared Mary. “I’d say, ‘Here goes the latest hits.’ And I’d start playing “Halo Shampoo.” One day, Mary got curious about the accordion and asked Judy if she could try playing it. Mary found that she could play it with ease, and immediately her heart was set on getting an accordion of her own. Her mother suggested that she try out a small accordion first then get the larger one. After about a year of practicing on the smaller accordion, her parents bought her a 120 bass accordion. She began playing in churches around her hometown in Sparta, GA and in Macon, GA. Resident Mary Wiley at Magnolia Manor of Macon reading sessions, Mary’s mother told her about a nearby school for the blind where she could learn to read using braille. Mary recalls that she was so anxious to start learning braille. In 1948, her wishes came true when her parents enrolled her in the Georgia Academy for the Blind in Macon, GA.

“When I got to the academy, I didn’t realize that I was going to learn other things in addition to braille. There was writing and arithmetic as well, and it was going to take a while,” stated Mary. “I was really looking forward to learning braille, so I learned it and I’m glad I did.” Mary also made friends. She and her friends would eat meals together on the porch. In between meals and studies, they would sing and play games. Although reading was one of Mary’s favorite things to do, she also had a love for music.

“My musical ability is a gift from God,” stated Mary. “I’m rather limited on other things that I can do, so I’m glad that I can do something that other people enjoy.” Since the pandemic, Mary’s musical talent has proven to be quite a soothing aid for residents and staff at Magnolia Manor in Macon. You can hear the sounds of classic gospel tunes like “He Touched Me” and “One Day At a Time” floating through the building on Sunday evenings. With communal dining temporarily closed, residents are required to eat lunch in their apartments. As they pick up their lunches, Mary gives them a piece of hope to go along with their meals. She plays beautiful music that brightens the mood. And if you have a request, she’s got you covered in her large mental library of songs.

“When we first started taking our lunches to our

Resident Mary Wiley at Magnolia Manor of Macon

rooms, I remember the dining room was so quiet as people were picking up their lunches. I heard someone say, ‘We need music or a CD player.’ So I sat down at the piano and that was the end of that. I’ve been playing during lunch ever since,” stated Mary. Mary is nearing her ten year anniversary as a resident here at Magnolia Manor. Throughout the years, she’s had opportunities to play for different programs at the Macon campus. She played every Sunday night for the Vespers worship services eight years in a row without hardly missing a Sunday. Before Covid-19 became an issue, she was scheduled to play at a special Christmas program last year. Aside from playing great music for people throughout the years, she has had the opportunity to build genuine friendships with her neighbors.

“I love that we have great neighbors here at Magnolia Manor. One of my neighbors who was a dear friend to me recently passed away. But the person who moved into her apartment is a very pleasant person and she doesn’t hesitate to help me when I ask. We also have great staff. I feel safe and everyone’s nice,” stated Mary.

GIVING In action...

Director of Annual Giving, Kendall Stephens and Director of Donor Relations, Chealsea Cromer handing out gifts Each year, our staff organizes a fundraiser dedicated to providing Christmas gifts for all of our residents. This past holiday season, we decided to spice it up a bit. We launched our first annual Christmas Tree Decorating Contest, and it was a great success! We raised over $10,000 with the help of those who participated in the contest and generous donations from local donors, churches, civic organizations, and individuals! The tree decorating competition began on December 1st and ran through December 24th. To be eligible for the contest, each campus decorated a Christmas tree and submitted pictures of the finished product. The photos were then posted to Facebook and the website, where individuals could vote for the tree they liked most. Each vote was worth one dollar. We can’t thank the staff and residents enough for all the hard work and creativity put into each and every tree. The tree competition was a success, creating a wonderful hum of excitement around each campus!

“I would like to thank each of our campuses which participated. Each of them did a great job in working together to decorate their tree and getting everyone to donate,” said Kendall Stephens, Director of Annual Giving.

Approximately 1,200 gifts were purchased for every resident in the Magnolia Manor family on all nine campuses. The administrators were asked to suggest items that the men and women of each campus would enjoy. Pop–up lanterns, gloves, scarves, neck gaiters, tumblers and umbrellas were just a few examples of the gifts that we purchased. Members of our staff helped Santa deliver gifts, and he was even spotted handing out presents to the residents. The residents really loved their gifts.

“We’d like to express our appreciation to everyone who was responsible for giving lanterns to us for Christmas! This is a thoughtful and useful gift for us,” stated Americus Residents, Mack and Linda Martin. “We would like to thank our campus administrators for their suggestions on gifts that residents would enjoy. Being able to exchange gifts and brighten people’s lives this year was quite special,” stated Chealsea Cromer, Director of Donor Relations. If you missed the Christmas Tree Decorating Contest, but would like to donate visit www. magnoliamanor.com and click on Ways to Give. We appreciate all of your support in making a difference at Magnolia Manor.

RETIREES

Retiree Mary Moses, LPN at the Americus Nursing Center Some of her Magnolia Manor family call her

“Superwoman” and others know her to be an “Energizer Bunny.” But she’s widely known as Mary Moses. After graduating from South Georgia Technical College in 1975, Mary became a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She then began working at Magnolia Manor as an LPN in 1977, where she dedicated 42 years to caring for the residents at the Americus Nursing Center.

“She’s one of the most dependable employees I’ve had the privilege of working with. We’ve been so blessed at Magnolia Manor to have her,” stated Susie Fussel B.S.N, R.N., Americus Nursing Center Administrator. Mary plans to spend her retirement visiting her three daughters, nine grandchildren, and eight siblings. We wish her the best as she embarks on this new journey of life! Please join us in wishing Mary Moses a happy retirement! We’re going to miss you Mary!
