Our family had an in person tour and it was a really nice tour experience, and their staff has periodically continued to follow up with our family and check in on us to see how we are doing.

November 16, 2022Hi, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! If you have any further questions, please give us a call. We're always happy to help.
My loved one loves the activities. I had a family member that wanted to come at a certain time, and my loved one wanted to move the time so they could play bingo. I don't have any complaints with Magnolias of Gaffney. My loved one was happy at this community. They would say they were thankful to be at this community.

I fell in my home and realized I was no longer safe. My nephew found Magnolias and said it was the best in town. The rooms are comfortable and I enjoy playing bingo with my friends.

My children were afraid of me living alone. I've lived in Gaffney my whole life and it was important for me to stay local. Magnolias has been home for almost 8 years. My children visit me often. I feel at home here.

They prepare good food that's warm. The housekeeping ladies that clean my room do a great job. I still enjoy my independence and am able to drive to the restaurants and shopping across the street.

I have lived here for four years in December. I enjoy the bus trips - especially to the local fish camps. The patio is a perfect place to relax. I have enjoyed my time here.

I love the activities we have, especially Rummikube and bingo. More than anything I love the fellowship and friends I've made in the lat year. It's starting to feel like home.

My husband had passed and my kids didn't want me to live alone. I love eating meals with friends. My room is comfortable and feels like home with my decorations. I enjoy going to the salon to get my hair done here too. The music groups that come are great!

I was living by myself after my husband passed and I was getting lonely. I really enjoy socializing and being with others. We love bingo and play a few times a week.

What a wonderful community in Gaffney! You get the small town feel while still being located near larger cities like Spartanburg and Charlotte. When I arrived for my tour I was impressed by the decor and overall feel of the common area. [Name removed] gave me a very thorough tour of the entire community and I saw and was able to interact with many residents since they seem to enjoy freely moving about the community. All of the rooms I saw were roomy and comfortable. The staff all went out of their way to speak and they all really seemed to enjoy working there. By the end of the tour most of the residents had gathered for lunch in the dining area. I didn't eat but it sure did look good (they had candied yams!) I would feel very comfortable recommending this community to anyone who had assisted living or memory care needs.

January 16, 2019Wonderful - thank you Janelle!
I was somewhat familiar with this community as my mother’s good friend was a resident there some years back. However, I was not prepared for the changes (to the good) that have taken place. It is a beautiful place and just small enough to be friendly. The residents appear to be friendly and I could not help but notice that there are several veterans who live there.

There billing system is a mess. Put someone else's money on our bill. Then it showed up on our monthly payments that we paid twice. When we called about it know one could explain. What a mess. Poor business practices.
