Magnolia Manor at Tupelo provides assisted-living care designed to support residents who need help with everyday tasks while maintaining as much independence as possible. Staff members are trained to monitor and assist residents with diabetes management, including blood-glucose checks, medication reminders, and coordination with physicians when treatment adjustments are required. The community keeps licensed nurses on-site around the clock so changes in blood sugar, wounds, or other health issues related to diabetes are addressed promptly.
Beyond diabetes care, Magnolia Manor develops individualized service plans that outline the level of personal assistance each resident receives for bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication schedules. Caregivers perform regular wellness assessments, track vital signs, and update families on any health changes. Emergency call systems in apartments link directly to staff stations, and optional physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged through outside providers who visit the community.
Apartment choices vary, and not all units include every feature. Some suites are outfitted with wheelchair-accessible showers and kitchenettes for residents who like to prepare light snacks, while others focus on simplified layouts for easy navigation. Cats are welcome within a stated weight limit, and cable or satellite TV hookups are available for personal entertainment. Residents have access to furnished indoor common areas for socializing and landscaped outdoor spaces for walking or relaxing.
Meals at Magnolia Manor are prepared three times daily and served in a restaurant-style dining room where staff take orders and deliver plates to the table. Menus rotate and include standard, diabetic-friendly, and vegetarian selections, and guest meals can be arranged so family members can dine together. Seasonal BBQs or picnics are scheduled when weather permits, allowing residents to enjoy meals outdoors and vary their dining experience.
Residents can take part in a full calendar of programs that range from cooking classes, trivia games, educational speakers, and on-site art classes to Wii bowling, yoga or chair yoga, and Forever Fit exercise sessions. Social events such as happy hour, wine tastings, dances, birthday parties, and holiday celebrations promote community engagement, while Bible study groups, gardening club meetings, and live music or theater performances offer additional outlets for personal interests. Day trips, outings, and stretching classes round out the activity schedule, providing varied options every week.
