As we enter a New Year I am proud to
say that Magnolia Manor ended 2010
stronger than we began the year. Our
financial statements for 2010 showed a
marked improvement over 2009 and our
skilled nursing centers continue to show
steady growth, continuing to recoup
some of the losses of the last two years.
But what I am most proud of at the
beginning of 2011 is not new at all.
I am most proud of our organization’s
continued commitment to care giving.
Many in the healthcare business have
not discovered the need to unite healthcare
delivery with Christian compassion
in order to provide a holistic approach
in caring for the mind, body and spirit.
At Magnolia Manor, this holistic
approach is the heart of our mission.
As a healthcare provider for senior adults,
we are accountable to local, state and
federal governments for the care we give,
like all other healthcare systems. But
as a Christian organization, we are
also accountable to each other, families
of our residents, United Methodist
congregations and other donors, and
most importantly to God. So, care giving
has a more profound connotation for us.
Every day of the year, our staff lays
the foundation for providing care for
our residents. This includes ensuring
physical, social, and emotional needs
are met such as nutrition, assistance
with the functions of daily living,
medication management, therapy and
the life-enriching Renaissance Living
Program. Additional components of
resident care are unique to Magnolia
Manor. One of these additional
components is our Spiritual Care
Program. We now have six chaplains
providing pastoral care and challenging
programs for the spiritual benefit of
our residents. A second unique aspect
of Magnolia Manor’s approach to care
is The League of the Good Samaritan.
Through the League, we offer a promise
of security through financial assistance
to our most vulnerable residents. This
promise of security is made possible
by those generous donors who
support The League.
What I am most proud of
at the beginning
of 2011 is
our organization’s
continued commitment
to care giving.
Perhaps all healthcare providers have
a stated goal: to treat the patient or
resident with dignity and to deliver a
level of care that allows the patient or
resident to live the highest quality of life
possible. I am proud that Magnolia Manor
offers the many additional services to
ensure that our stated goal is achieved.
