1935 Lakewood Rd, Toms River, NJ 08755, United States
DO NOT SEND YOUR FAMILY HERE. Where to even begin? James, the head of the kitchen and husband to the DON/owner is a terror to the patients, staff, and anyone in between. They get NOTHING for food, not even allowed paper towels or anything from the facility. They eat worse than prisoners, I know because I work for the prison systems. Most meals are nothing more than a pb&j with a thin layer of each, watered down juice and maybe a side. James harasses patients both verbally and with verbal sexual harassment. His wife does nothing and won't remove him. Even his staff are afraid to help patients and give them a little extra for fear of his retaliation. They have mold growing in many areas, especially patients rooms, from a leak years prior where they did not replace anything not absolutely necessary. Despite the state or families paying for residents care, they still take all but $95 of the patients social security checks. They eat at around 10, around 1 then 4 and get n o t h i n g else at all unless they can buy it themselves. These are human beings. Father's, mother's, grandma's and grandpa's. They need more than a slice of bread for lunch or breakfast. Canned ravioli is not a healthy dinner. Most of them have strict dietary needs due to health and age, however James will not even accommodate for allergies, just degrades the patients reminding him of such a thing. No one should have to live in fear of terror or abuse such as this. Why are they not eating like kings when their entire social security checks is taken?

My grandmother happily lived there for over 10 years. She had the best care and never complained. I am thankful to the staff who cared for her and treated her like family.
Magnolia has staff that care deeply for their residents, and excellent food. My grandmother loves it here. Thank you Magnolia Gardens for taking such good care of her!
Admissions director, Nicole Pniewski, totally unprofessional by leaving me with only 1 week’s notice that despite what she told me on my initial visit, my sister would not be able to be cared for at the facility. I left 3 voicemails which she never returned so after I called for 4th time she dropped this bomb! This was determined by a verbal assessment only!
Great staff and wonderful food. Would highly recommend if you are seeking for an assisted living.
