Magnolia on the Avenue provides assisted living and memory care in Bradenton, Florida. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. These two care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, including someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who needs a supervised environment.
Residents may choose private or semi-private rooms, whether they prefer to live alone or share a room. The starting price is $2,995 per month, with a $1,500 move-in deposit, so families should plan for both the recurring monthly charge and the upfront cost. Payment options include insurance and/or HMO, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. Gardens and enclosed screened porches provide outdoor spaces within the community, while yoga, gardening, art, music, movies, and interactive games offer structured ways to spend time. Jerry Dunn serves as the administrator, and 1725 Wares Operator operates the community.
