Magnolia Terrace is an exquisite assisted living community in Waterloo, Illinois. It is within well-favored Monroe County which is part of the Prairie State.
Magnolia Terrace offers privacy in the comfort of your own one bedroom apartment with access to professional staff around the clock.
Our staff works with the residents and families to customize a plan of care to accommodate personal preferences and lifestyle choices. Independent living is the sensible solution to the growing need for affordable housing with services for seniors.
There is always an opportunity to get involved in activities while making new friends. The recreation and entertainment programs offered are planned and supervised by an activity director. Our goal is to have those living with us continue an active lifestyle. Our activity director will spend time with you getting to know you and your interests. Monthly Resident Council meetings are also held to allow residents to discuss their individual preferences in regards to resident life. Residents often tell us that since they moved into Magnolia Terrace, they are busier than ever. You can also enjoy our cozy sitting areas throughout the building to read a book or work on a puzzle when seeking those moments of quiet time.
