Magnolia Manor

Your decorations and the staff dressed for the occasion really made us feel like we were getting a taste of the real Mardi Gras. The food and drinks were great. Well done.

My mother has been a happy resident of "Brightview University" (Catonsville) since January of this year. My family is pleased so far with her care. Some staff members really stand out in mom's Brightview family. Kathleen is the perfect front desk associate. She is as capable and friendly as she is lovely. Sandra in the dining room is attentive kind and fun- always willing to listen to a story or make a quick joke. The head nurse Keri mixes competence and accommodation. Keri really seems to understand the residents and their individual needs at Brightview. Last but not least is the Vibrant Living Assistant, Kim Craig. Kim is absolutely the reason my mom is so content with her life at Brightview. Kim is kind and attentive to the residents. She is enthusiastic and positive-exactly what everyone needs. Kim manages the activities of the facility like theme nights, exercise classes, outings, games, music, ... all done with meticulous detail and with the needs of her residents in mind. Brightview is lucky to have Kim Craig on staff. Cheers to the Team @ Brightview, Catonsville. Thank you for welcoming my mom into your family!

My experience at Brightview Catonsville has been excellent! I moved my 90-year old mom in after living with me for 3 years. The move was made so much easier by everyone at Brightview! Everyone at every level was there to help my mom and myself acclimate to her new environment. My questions are always answered quickly and completely. The care she receives is wonderful, everyone knows her name and treats her with respect and kindness. We are free to come and go anytime to visit or take my mom out with us. Communication is really great and there are lots of opportunities for us to participate in activities together! The special dinner nights are fabulous! The food is really great and all the employees take part in the fun, it's really a party atmosphere and we enjoy it several times a month! I have really appreciated the family atmosphere and the level of caring and compassion. As my brother and I were getting my mom's room ready for her to move in, I heard one of the associates saying my mom's name outside her door. I came out and introduced myself and she asked me if she was pronouncing my mom's name correctly. She said she just wanted to be sure she said it right when my mom moved in! It was such a small thing, but it made a huge impression on me that she cared enough to get it right from the start! And I have continued to see that kind of caring and respect every day.

My Aunt, Billie Jean, resided at Brightview Catonsville for a little over 8 years. Sadly she passed in August, but she lived for over 104 years! I imagine those 8 years were hard on her as she was a very independent woman! Yet the staff at Brightview and the residents made her feel so welcomed and at home. The live music they provided was her absolute favorite, especially since she played multiply instruments and sang opera. While she was still ambulatory she loved the outings as well. But the most important part was the exceptional care the staff provided. I would visit from the West Coast every four months and could not have been more pleased with how she was treated, looked after and loved by all!!!!! I will miss my visits with her and the staff, who welcomed me back each time over the past 8 years.

I simply can’t say enough wonderful things about Brightview, Catonsville!!! Every single member of the Brightview team is infectious!!! I toured 14 facilities before presenting Brightview Catonsville to my mom. The moment I walked in, I was blown away. This place absolutely beamed with vibrancy, love and genuine enjoyment. I felt this from the infectious staff that was dancing, laughing and intentionally seeing everyone, to the residents themselves who where so engaged with one another. My mom has now been a Brightview family member for10 months and she is living her absolute best life!! She has so many friends and feels so loved!!! My favorite part of my visits is seeing the staff and residents/family beam when my mom walks into the room. The genuine love is reciprocated by mom as she beams from ear to ear right back! Brightview loves well. The leadership will tolerate nothing less and it shows. To work at Brightview means you are vibrant, you respect everyone and your daily walk exudes that. My husband has said it best. “It’s like mom has gone to college all over again.” Every single day is a new adventure. She’s never ever bored (in fact I have to be penciled in between her activities…to the point that now when I visit I just join in😍😍😍🥰 I can’t express how thankful I am that Brightview has given my mom the best of the best for her life now!!! I’m eternally grateful
