A SIMPLER APPROACH TO CARE
Personalized support. One straightforward monthly fee.
Senior care should not come with a confusing list of changing care charges. Magnolias of Santee offers a simple flat-fee approach without separate levels-of-care fees, helping families plan with greater confidence.
Every prospective resident is personally evaluated so that we can understand their needs, answer the family’s questions, and determine whether our community is the right fit.
A FAMILY LEGACY OF CARE
More than four decades of caring for older adults.
The Lockwood family has served seniors for more than 40 years, guided by the belief that even the simplest gestures can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.
That family-centered philosophy shapes life at Magnolias of Santee. We take the time to know our residents, understand their preferences, and help each person feel valued, supported, and genuinely at home.
Here, care is not delivered through a distant corporate model. It is built through personal relationships, familiar faces, and a shared commitment to treating residents with the same compassion we would want for our own families.

Magnolias identifies Assisted Living and Memory Care as its principal living options.

SOUTHERN HOMELIKE LIVING
Familiar comforts. Genuine connection.
Magnolias of Santee was designed to feel warm, peaceful, and inviting—not clinical or impersonal.
Residents can enjoy conversations on the Southern front porch, time in the garden, familiar home-style meals, activities with friends, family events, and quiet moments in comfortable community spaces.
From our close-knit atmosphere to our community dog, Pebbles, the small details help create a place where residents can settle in, form meaningful relationships, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.
THOUGHTFUL SUPPORT
Care built around the person, not a category.
Every resident arrives with individual routines, preferences, abilities, and support needs. Our team uses that information to develop a personalized plan of care and provide assistance in a way that respects the resident’s choices and independence.
As needs evolve, we work with residents, families, healthcare providers, home health professionals, hospice teams, and other trusted community partners to coordinate appropriate support.

Community.
Meaningful connections often begin with simple moments: sharing a meal, sitting together on the front porch, joining an activity, attending a family celebration, or enjoying a quiet conversation.
Magnolias of Santee brings residents, families, caregivers, and local partners together in ways that feel natural and genuine.
Our Santee location also places residents near the relaxed beauty of Lake Marion and Santee State Park, while remaining accessible to families from Orangeburg, St. Matthews, Elloree, Eutawville, St. George, and Manning.
designed for
Living.
A resident’s room should feel like their own personal space—not simply a place where care is provided.
Our accommodations offer a comfortable setting for treasured photographs, familiar furniture, keepsakes, and the everyday belongings that help a new home feel familiar.
Furnished rooms are available, and residents may bring their own furniture. Private pet-friendly accommodations may also be available for residents who can care for their pet and provide current vaccination records.
