Beautiful Magnolia Estates in Oconee County

Magnolia Estates – A Home Away From Home For Its Residents 
8-19-10

The beautiful setting at Magnolia Estates, an assisted living residence on Virgil Langford Road in Oconee County, gives residents a pleasant homelike environment for daily living, but one could say their motto is “It’s the detailed care inside that makes the difference.”

The Oconee Chamber held its monthly coffee this morning at the invitation of the Estates Staff with about 45 Chamber members attending. The spread of goodies for breakfast (from 8 to 9 am) before going to the office put participants in a happy mood.

 Kenneth Mann, Chairman of the Chamber recognized the Estates’ Manager, Mr Tim Saxon and staff, introduced a quick smart trivia game, recognized the Chamber’s newest member present, announced the up-coming events of the Chamber (Leadership Oconee, Women In Business and the Networking Luncheon) and

Morning Coffee and Goodies

 reminded Chamber members of committee meetings for the month of August.

Oconee County is fortunate to have the Estates for its senior citizens who need assistance in their later years. The facility was founded by Ms Betty Rampey in 1983 in Elberton, a traditional columned, 2-story building that resembles a traditional Southern Home Estate and is still open. Expansion begin in 1991 with another facility in Winder and in 1997, the Oconee facility opened its doors. The facilities are designed to accommodate the various needs of it residents with spacious bedrooms and a large common room. The care includes complete attention to every detail that encompasses an excellent quality of life. Visit their Web site at www.magnolisestates.com for further details.
