Help with daily living

Gentle, respectful help with bathing, dressing, grooming and getting around, so dignity always comes first.

💊

Medication support

Reminders and help with medications on schedule, with families kept in the loop.

Southern home cooking

Three meals a day and snacks, cooked fresh and served at the family table.

🎶

Joy every day

Frequently asked questions

Don't see your question? Ask us on a tour or send us a note below.

How long has Magnolia been caring for families?

Magnolia opened in Ocilla in 2018. Since then we've grown into one of Georgia's top private personal care homes, while keeping the small-home warmth families love.

What is a personal care home?

A personal care home offers a home-like place to live with help for daily activities such as bathing, dressing, meals and medications. It's for adults who don't need round-the-clock nursing but shouldn't live alone.

What does the $3,200 monthly rate include?

Your loved one's room, three meals a day plus snacks, help with daily living and medications, housekeeping, laundry and activities. We'll go over everything on your tour.

Can families visit any time?

Families are always welcome. You can stop by or request a visit in the Family App so we can have your loved one ready and set a place at the table.

Can my loved one bring their own things?

Yes. Photos, a favorite chair, a quilt from home: the things that make a room feel like theirs are encouraged.

How do we start?

Book a tour with the form below or call us. We'll talk through your loved one's needs, and if Magnolia is the right fit, we'll guide you through each step of moving in.
