Overview of Magnolia Trace

Magnolia Trace provides assisted living, home care, hospice care, independent living, memory care, palliative care, and skilled nursing in Huntsville, AL. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and skilled nursing offers licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Home care, hospice care, and palliative care support residents with in-home assistance, end-of-life needs, and comfort during serious illness. Respite care is available for a short stay, which can give a family caregiver time to travel or recover.

Housing includes one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, cottages, and assisted living suites. These choices allow a resident to select a layout suited to living alone, moving with a companion, or receiving assisted living services, while full kitchens give residents cooking space within their own units. Magnolia Trace is a Type A Life Care continuing care retirement community operated by Acts Retirement-Life Communities, and its range of care types may suit a resident whose needs grow over time because changing needs can be supported without requiring a move to a different community.
