Providing Spiritual Care
Story on page 4
From the President’s desk
At the midpoint of this year, I still have
some serious concerns about the big
picture of our economy, but honestly, I
cannot do much about that big picture.
What excites me are those things at
Magnolia Manor over which we do have
some control and the new things we are
doing to better serve our residents.

First of all, we are seeing positive results
from the many difficult decisions made
over the last year and a half. Financials
have improved as a result of strict budget
management measures. It is obvious,
however, that we cannot do all that we
need to do solely through cost controls.
In addition to effective budget management, we are seeing very positive census
results on all the campuses where we
made administrative leadership changes.
While change is never easy, the results we
are seeing reveal the effectiveness of our
current leadership team, and I am proud
of the work the whole team is doing.
Secondly, I am excited about new and
creative measures we are taking to change
the way we offer our services to older adults.
In Buena Vista, we have begun a new Adult
Day Health Program. This program offers
skilled nursing care for seniors Monday
through Friday from 8:00 am until 5:00
pm. The program makes use of existing
Magnolia Manor facilities and staff to
support families who need assistance in
caring for an adult loved one but who
are not ready for admission to a nursing
home. This pilot program will be monitored and hopefully implemented at
other campuses.
In Americus and Columbus, we have
remodeled and revamped our physical

rehabilitation programs, grouping residents
with similar short-term rehabilitation
needs and goals together. We have found
the response to this new approach to be
very positive. One of the results has been
a great improvement in Medicare census
in our skilled nursing centers.
One final reason for the positive excitement I feel in what we are doing is our
chaplaincy program. Our chaplaincy
program for residents is unmatched in
its size and in its quality. At the South
“Focus on the Positive!”
Georgia Annual Conference in Tifton,
the introduction of extension ministers
made it obvious that Magnolia Manor
has the greatest personnel commitment
to chaplaincy ministry of any agency in
the conference. In fact, our number
of chaplains exceeds the number of
chaplains appointed to all the other
agencies combined! It speaks not only
to the quality of how we seek to serve
our residents but also to the scale on
which we are working.
In difficult times, it is easy to focus on
the negative and see only the obstacles.
However, our leadership team, our creative
new programs and the excellence of care
given by our staff cause me to focus on the
positive and to see the many opportunities
for Magnolia Manor to expand and enhance
the care we offer to seniors across the state.
I hope this all excites our donor partners,
too. Your continued support is essential
to our ability to take advantage of the
opportunities before us.

Good Samaritan
Reverend Robert Beckum,
Sr. Vice President of Church
Relations and Development
The League of the Good Samaritan
is the charitable arm of Magnolia
Manor, the official older adult ministry
of the South Georgia Annual Conference.
Many older adults rely on your
generosity to have the care they
need in their golden years.
The League exists because our founders
promised that no one, having chosen
to come to Magnolia Manor, would
ever have to leave when the ability to
pay for needed care ended.
Because League dollars are awarded
on an individual basis, monies required
vary greatly. Some recipients need
only a few dollars to make ends meet.
Others require a larger award.
Despite the best of plans, sometimes
money runs low. Care costs increase.
The retirement years, instead of being
a reward for years of service to family,
employer and community, can be a
troubling time.
How The League Helps
At these times the League of the Good
Samaritan helps. Residents are asked
to pay all that they can, keeping a
small reserve for personal spending.
Government monies are sought. And
the difference is paid with League dollars.
Where the Money Comes From
Nearly 100 percent of League funds
come from people like you — Good
Samaritans who care about South
Georgia’s older adults — people who
want seniors to have the care they
need, in a comfortable and safe environment filled with Christian values
and good friends.
Shortfalls in the money raised by
the League of the Good Samaritan
must be drawn from the Magnolia
Manor operating budget, diverting
funds from other critical programs.
Where the Money Goes
On average, a single person drawing
from the League requires $810 a month.
Your gift of $35, $50, $100, $2,000 or
more makes a tremendous difference
in the life of an older adult.
DONATE ONLINE
If you wish, you can donate to
Magnolia Manor through our secure
website by following three easy steps:
1-Go to www.magnoliamanor.com
2-Click on Giving.
3-Click on Make a Gift.
Thank you for your gifts
of love and support!
Donations may be made in honor
of or in memory of a special person
or group. Our staff will send a notice
of the gift to the honoree, keeping the
amount private. It’s a thoughtful way
to let your gift give twice.
Answering Christ’s Call
Christ entreated us to love one another
as we love ourselves. Giving to the
League is a good way to give your love.
The parable of the Good Samaritan
outlines a lesson of giving without
reservation. In the parable, the Samaritan
assists the troubled traveler, even paying
for his lodging.
Please join the League of the Good
Samaritan and help pay for the
lodging of one who has traveled
life’s road before you.

Spiritual Care
a t M a g n o l i a Manor
From our very beginning in 1963,
Magnolia Manor has always had a
Methodist minister assigned as a chaplain
for our residents. Mark Todd, President
and CEO of Magnolia Manor, says,
“The chaplains on our staff, and the
services they provide, help to remind us
who we are and what we are all about as
an organization in our care of senior adults.”
Over the last six years, Todd has made
a major commitment to expanding
chaplaincy services to keep up with
Magnolia Manor’s growth. Currently,
Magnolia Manor has six United Methodist
chaplains (three full-time and three parttime) who care for residents and staff at
all eight campuses of Magnolia Manor.
Rev. Dennis Stalvey is the Senior Chaplain whose task it is to supervise all other
chaplains and oversee the Manor’s program of spiritual care. All full-time chaplains
have completed endorsement training programs and are endorsed by the United
Methodist Church and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors indicating
the chaplaincy program’s commitment to excellence and best practices.
Rev. Joy Wilson, an Assistant Chaplain for the Americus Campus, says that the
relationships with the residents are the greatest rewards of her work. “I love
meeting the residents and doing something to encourage them and strengthen
their faith,” Wilson says. Joy’s mother is a resident at Magnolia Manor and she
says, “I try to care for each resident just as I want my mother cared for.” The
residents all pick up on Joy’s radiance and enthusiasm.
Rev. John Brodess served as the only Magnolia Manor chaplain from 1993 until
his retirement in 2005. Now, in retirement John continues to serve as an Assistant
Chaplain. John says, “I love being able to comfort our residents in times of transition
and in times of grief, and I find it most meaningful to feel that I can contribute
some measure of comfort and faith by my presence with our residents.”
Rev. Cindy Bennett serves as an Assistant Chaplain for the Columbus Campus
of Magnolia Manor. Cindy says, “Ministering with our residents, staff and family
members is a privilege and a daily challenge.” Cindy has served the Columbus
Campus for three years now and feels that it is an honor to represent the
United Methodist Church in such a lifegiving way.
Rev. Madison Morgan is an Assistant Chaplain for the Richmond Hill Campus.
Madison says, “It is a joy to serve senior adults. I enjoy spending time with them
and they help me live a more productive life.” Madison reflected back and said,
“If I had known the joy that I was going to experience in chaplaincy like this, I
would have been doing this a long time ago.”
Rev. James Boyd says, as Assistant Chaplain for St. Simons and St. Marys of
Magnolia Manor, “I have gained fresh insight to the needs and concerns of older
adults and I am grateful to be a part of their lives in this great ministry.” James
has been in the ministry for almost 52 years and he says, “There is just something special about serving older adults.”
Chaplains at Magnolia Manor do not
act alone. All chaplains are part of a team
of staff members working together to
meet the spiritual, social, physical and
emotional needs of our residents. We
are always working, Stalvey said, to
“Help people discover real community.”
4 Magnolia Manor | www.magnoliamanor.com
Magnolia Manor believes in, “Creating
caring communities for senior adults.”
All chaplains agree that the most meaningful part of their work is the privilege
of participation in a vital residential
community, one that is open, welcoming,
and grounded in faith.
ANNUAL
CONFERENCE
—IN TIFTON—
June 6–9, 2010

The South Georgia Annual Conference
in Tifton was a great time of fellowship
for United Methodists. The first day
of conference business always ends
with The Methodist Home Bar-b-que
and Magnolia Manor Dip-N-Dots. As
usual the Dip-N-Dots were a huge hit.
Delegates had numerous options
for enhancing efforts for improved
health. Andrea Walker, Director of
Donor Communications, led the largest
of the health emphasis workshops.
Her workshop on better nutrition
was entitled, “Eat Up, Slim Down.”
One emphasis of this year’s
conference was, “A Healthier Me.”
Pictured above, Andrea Walker, Director of Donor Communications, is
ready to lead her nutrition workshop, “Eat Up, Slim Down.”

Creative
Writing
at Richmond Hill
The Creative Writing Class began
as part of the Renaissance Program at
Magnolia Manor, Richmond Hill in
2005. It proved to be a great success
with residents bringing in poems and
memoirs, sitting down and swapping
stories to their heart’s content.
Stories are shared, writing is read
aloud, and memories become vivid
once again. Joan Smith, a retired
English teacher, facilitates the class
along with her husband, Dan. Below
is a poem written by resident,
Helen Eisenberg.
Lord, Speak to Me
Father God, speak to me what you would say,
Speak not too boldly, less I faint from fear,
Tell me again that you love me,
That to you I am very dear.
Thank you for those words,
So palpable to my spirit.
Now what would you have me do?
Nothing? Did I hear you say “Nothing!”
Pictured left to right, front row: Betty Hudson, Helen Szymd, Miriam
Moore, and Joshua Lee. On the back row: Joan Smith, Bill Moore,
and Joan’s husband, Dan Smith.
Did I hear you say: “Be!”
What shall I be?
“Be like I am.”
You are love, Can I like thee?
Only if you help me can I care.
Can I look into a neighbor’s eyes and care?
What causes that harried look, that evasive eye?
Are your life painful? I pause in prayer.
A son is going off to battle,
A daughter runs away,
A mother’s mind is slipping,
Oh, what can I helpful say?
Our God is all around us.
He whispers low to me.
He puts His arms around you
He says He is a friend to thee.
Creative Writing teacher, Joan Smith, holds a book
written by Joshua Lee.
Instill into my brain, my thoughts, my heart,
Love, sweet kind love, truthful, free.
Unshackle my mind from hatred.
I would love to be like Thee.

NATIONAL DAY OF
Prayer
Residents of Magnolia Manor in
Macon gathered for a special program
on the National Day of Prayer. After
a brief devotion and prayers for our
nation, residents enjoyed a wonderful
musical program performed by members
of the Middle Georgia Home School
Chorus. The chorus, which meets for
practice once a week, provides musical
enrichment for home schooled students
ages 10 to 18
throughout the
Middle Georgia
area. Students
shared both choral numbers
and instrumental performances.
The instrumental performances
included violin, piano and guitar
with several of the students sharing
original compositions.

MOULTRIE RESIDENTS
Mentoring Students
Residents from Magnolia Manor
South have been enjoying time in the
classroom setting through mentoring
and enriching the academic progress
of Sunset Elementary School students.
Now, nearly three years later, the
volunteer program has become more
rewarding than anyone ever imagined.
Residents say that their time with the
students are very rewarding. “Seeing
the look on the children’s faces when
we visit is indescribable.” Because the
program has been so successful, visits
have increased from once-a-week to
twice-a-week with each visit lasting
nearly an hour.
Retired mothers and teachers
residing on-campus at Magnolia
Manor South have had the opportunity
to rekindle a deep-rooted passion for
children and learning through this
mentoring program.
Choir Kicks off Tour at Magnolia Manor
Americus First United
Methodist youth choir performed
for the residents at Magnolia
Manor of Americus. The choir
tour began at Magnolia Manor
and then went on to perform
at Calvary Children’s Home
in Atlanta. The choir enjoyed
interacting with the residents
at Magnolia Manor to kick
off their trip.

Spring Time at
St. Simons Magnolia Manor residents
have been beautifying their campus!
The arrival of Spring is always
beautiful in the Golden Isles when the
azaleas burst into bloom and individuals
emerge from their homes to enjoy
the coastal breezes and invigorating
sunshine. Many get involved in this
reawakening by planting seasonal
flowers, fruits, and vegetables, creating
a kaleidoscope of color.
Mr. Shearouse, pictured above with
his daughter Mrs. Pease and Sadie, is
excited about being able to get back
out and “get in the dirt!”
Residents of Magnolia Manor of
St. Simons are certainly no different
as they enjoyed a pre-Easter treat with
the recent blooming of beautiful tulips
planted by the Sea Oats Garden Club.
Club member Sandra Hochwald
commented, “We wanted to provide
an expression of the beauty of the
new season for the Residents and
hardy tulips seemed the appropriate
choice. They’re often seen blooming up
through the snow, a sign of renewed
life after the often bleak days of winter!”
The brilliant canary yellow blooms
offered a stark contrast against the
dark greenery just beginning to regain
its brilliance.
Our sincere thanks goes to Glynn
Landscaping for donating the gravel
and potting soil for the project and to
Ace Hardware who offered their bedding plants at buy-one-get-one-free!
Above, Faye Young, an active member in Magnolia
Manor’s Red Hat Society, also enjoys gardening.
And when all the planting at the Nursing
and Rehab Center was finished, Mrs.
Helen Brinkos, pictured above, took a
seat on a memorial bench, flashed a
huge smile, patted her legs playfully,
and commented, “It’s all just so pretty
out here—and everyone is just so nice!”
Pictured above, to the right, Mr. Claude McGahee, well
known especially in his native McIntosh County for his
green thumb gift, is now totally back in his element.
Preparing the soil and the planting of seeds had to be
“just so” and residents are now anxiously awaiting the
crop of fresh vegetables he is tending.

Americus Tea Dance
A group of residents from Magnolia
Manor gathered one afternoon for a
Tea Dance downtown Americus at the
Nancy Jones School of Dance. Nancy
Jones along with Ruth Jones and several
of her friends hosted this lovely event.
The Magnolia Manor residents had
a great time dressing up and showing off
their dancing moves. They danced to
all types of music including fast beat
music, slow, romantic music, and even
the hokey pokey!
Everyone enjoyed finger foods,
socializing, listening to lively music,
and dancing. What a fun way to
bring in the Spring!

NOMADS Serving
at Richmond Hill
Each year the Magnolia Manor
Campus inRichmond Hill has been
fortunate enough to acquire some of
the most skilled volunteers through a
Christian ministry known as NOMADS
which stands for Nomads On a Mission
Active in Divine Service. NOMADS
is a mission outreach ministry of the
United Methodist Church through
the General Board of Global Ministries.
The NOMADS program offers persons
with recreational vehicles the opportunity to share their time and skills in
United Methodist projects, including
churches, camps, mission agencies,
disaster areas and local neighborhoods.
Four couples, Lee & Bill Miller, Robbie & Ted Johndrow, Donna & Don
Hoff, and Joyce & David Mills along
with Robert Smith made up the team
of NOMADS selected to help the
Richmond Hill campus. Administrator, Rich DeLong along with his staff
and the residents look forward to
this group coming each year not only
because of what they do, but because
of who they are.
“The NOMADS not only bring their
skilled hands and hearts of labor to
Magnolia Manor each year…. they
continue to foster a caring relationship
with both our staff and residents.
It’s really not about the ‘free work’
that they provide — it’s more about
making a connection with people
and a positive change in the lives of
many for His sake, and in His name,”
says Rich DeLong.
Among the tasks accomplished were
painting apartments, replacing ceiling tiles, repairing potholes in the
parking lot, and striping the parking
lots. “The list goes on and on… the
NOMADS get more done in 3 weeks
than we could in an entire year,” says
Jennifer Franks.

Americus Residents Help
Every second Saturday in May,
letter carriers in more than 10,000
cities and towns across America
deliver much more than mail when
they walk and drive along their postal
routes. They also collect the goodness
and compassion of their postal
customers who participate in the NALC
Stamp Out Hunger National Food
Drive — the largest one-day food drive
in the nation and probably the world.
Led by letter carriers represented
by the National Association of Letter
Carriers (AFLCIO), with the help
of rural letter carriers, other postal
employees and numerous volunteers,
the drive has resulted in delivery of
nearly one billion pounds of donations
to community food banks and pantries
over the past 17 years.
Carriers collect non-perishable food
donations left by mailboxes and in
post offices and deliver them to local
community food banks, pantries and
shelters. Nearly 1,500 local NALC
branches in all 50 states are involved
in the drive.
Many Magnolia Manor residents
from the Americus campus have saved
canned goods to be able to “give back”
to others they say. It is really neat to
see the residents coming together to
contribute to a good cause such as
this food drive.
Pictured above is resident Kathleen
Pope, who contributed to this food drive.
The mail carrier, Gloria Harltley,
for the Magnolia Manor of Americus
says, “Every year, the Magnolia Manor
independent residents are major
participants in the USPS Stamp Out
Hunger food drive.” Gloria’s route
gets the most donations in town, and
our residents are a big part of that.
She had already emptied her truck
once, and it was filled up again just
from her stop at the Manor. She said,
“It’s so much fun coming here— it’s
like an Easter egg hunt… I love to see
people blessing other people.”
