ST. MARYS — The board of directors of the St. Marys United Methodist Church Foundation Inc. has approved grants for the Fall 2017 Grant Cycle, and Magnolia Manor is one of the recipients. Grants totaling $794,018 will be made to 14 organizations the week of Dec. 4.
A $50,000 grant will be awarded to Magnolia Manor to implement the Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) portion of the new strategic plan. This represents the final year of a two-year commitment to this project. Magnolia Manor opened in 1963, in response to the need for safe, secure housing and long-term care for the elderly. Today, Magnolia Manor provides, as a ministry of the United Methodist Church, a variety of quality retirement communities throughout southern Georgia serving over 1,800 older adults.
