April Largent started her employment with Southern Magnolia Iuka as a Resident Assistant in 2017. April has a true passion for the elderly and love for all people. “Each day is a fresh start when I walk through the doors at Southern Magnolia” says April. Prior to her employment at Southern Magnolia, she was a teacher at a local Head Start. When initially hired, April worked the weekends in the front Independent Living area. There was a gentleman in the Specialty Care area that needed assistance and she quickly responded. April knew immediately, Specialty Care was her calling. “We laugh, cry, love and cherish every moment here. I love caring for our residents every way I can.” April’s love for the elderly shines deep and we are blessed to have her at Southern Magnolia as Resident Services Director.
