More than care
Family-Owned Assisted Living Community in Walterboro, SC
Whether you are planning ahead or responding to a recent change, Magnolias of Walterboro helps families find compassionate assisted living care with clarity, confidence, and the welcoming comfort of home.
PRICING, SIMPLIFIED
One monthly rate.
No surprises later.
Many senior living communities raise the price as a resident’s needs grow. We do the opposite. Magnolias of Walterboro charges a single flat monthly rate, with no separate levels-of-care tiers and no community or application fees tacked on.
Before anyone moves in, we sit down with the resident and their family to understand what daily life actually looks like, so pricing is explained clearly, and there’s no guessing about what’s included.
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 Walterboro. 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.
A QUESTION FAMILIES ASK US CONSTANTLY
How do you know it's time?
Almost every family we meet waited longer than they needed to. That’s not a criticism, it’s love, expressed as hesitation. But waiting for total certainty usually just means trading calm, connected time for months of worry.
“Better five months early than five minutes too late.”
The families who move sooner rarely talk about what they lost. They talk about the dinners, the visits, and the ordinary afternoons they got to have because someone else was handling the hard parts.
living options
Two ways to call Magnolias of Walterboro home.
Every resident’s story is different, so we keep our offerings focused rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
Assisted Living
Day-to-day help, bathing, dressing, medication, meals, and simple companionship, delivered in a way that lets residents keep as much independence as they’re comfortable with.
Respite Stays
Family caregivers need rest too. A respite stay; a weekend, a week, or a month, gives a loved one the same attentive care our full-time residents receive, so a caregiver can recharge without worry.
CARE THAT FOLLOWS THE PERSON
Care built around the person, not a category.
No two residents arrive with the same history, habits, or needs, so no two care plans at Magnolias of Walterboro look identical.
When circumstances shift, we don’t handle it alone. Our team coordinates with families, our in-house on-call medical providers, home health and hospice partners, and visiting chaplains to keep support aligned with what a resident actually needs.
Personalized care plans
Every resident’s routines, preferences, and abilities shape the support they receive, not the other way around.
Everyday assistance
From medication and bathing to dressing, meals, housekeeping, and laundry, our team steps in exactly as much as is needed.
Continuity & peace of mind
Families stay in the loop. If something changes, you’ll hear about it from us without having to ask.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
More than care. A place to feel at home.
Our mission hasn’t changed since we started this work: help older adults keep their dignity, hold onto their independence where they can, and enjoy a wonderful quality of life.
That all starts with a conversation. We ask questions, we listen, and we adjust, because good care is never one-size-fits-all.
Our team is trained to treat every resident the way we’d want our own parents treated: with patience, warmth, and respect.
designed for
Living.
A resident’s room should hold their photographs, their favorite chair, the quilt someone made them, not just a bed and a call button.
Rooms come furnished, or residents are welcome to bring their own pieces. Pets are welcome too in private accommodations, as long as a resident can care for them and vaccination records are current.
