Registered Nurse and clinical leader of Magnolia Senior Care's two Adult Family Homes in Burien and Des Moines, Washington.
Sosena guides Magnolia with a calm nursing perspective shaped around dignity, safety, medication awareness, dementia-sensitive routines, family communication, and the comfort of small-home care.
Magnolia's two homes are separate licensed Adult Family Homes. Sosena's role is different at each one, and families deserve to know exactly what that means.
Sosena owns and operates the Burien home. She is directly responsible for how the home runs, how care is planned, and how the care team communicates with residents and families.
Visit the Burien home pageThe Des Moines home's licensed provider owns and operates it; that is a different role from Sosena's. As RN Manager, she oversees resident care: guiding care planning, reviewing changes in residents' needs, and supporting communication with families and outside providers.
Visit the Des Moines home pageMagnolia Senior Care provides RN-guided care oversight, individualized care planning, and coordination with healthcare professionals. Registered Nurse visits are scheduled according to resident needs and each home's care arrangements. Trained caregivers provide 24-hour resident support. RN-led does not mean a nurse is on site around the clock.
Magnolia connects nursing perspective with the ordinary details families notice during a tour: safe movement through the home, familiar meals, calm shared spaces, medication routines, and communication that feels direct.
Magnolia's care philosophy is intentionally small-home and family-centered. The goal is not to make care feel clinical or distant. The goal is to make daily life feel calmer, more familiar, and more closely observed.
Sosena's RN perspective shapes how Magnolia thinks about dignity, routines, medications, communication, appetite, mobility, dementia changes, transitions, and coordination when care needs change.
Residents are supported as whole people, with routines, preferences, family relationships, and personal history treated as part of the care picture.
Small changes in mobility, appetite, sleep, confusion, skin, medications, or mood can matter. RN awareness helps Magnolia know what to watch and when to communicate.
Magnolia emphasizes direct, practical communication with families, POAs, discharge planners, and healthcare providers when appropriate.
A quieter Adult Family Home environment can support familiar rhythms, dementia-sensitive routines, meals, rest, and more personal day-to-day attention.
RN-led does not mean Magnolia replaces physicians, hospitals, hospice teams, pharmacists, therapists, or other licensed professionals. It means Magnolia's leadership brings nursing awareness into care planning, daily observation, communication, and knowing when outside clinical guidance is needed.
Each resident's care plan is built around their needs, routines, and preferences, and revisited as those needs change, with families included in the conversation.
Before move-in and as needs change, Sosena helps review mobility, memory, daily support, and safety needs so the home can plan care realistically.
Many residents live with long-term conditions. Nursing awareness helps the team notice changes that may matter and share them with the resident's healthcare providers.
Medication changes, missed doses, side effects, and refills can affect safety. Magnolia supports medications with consistent routines, within Washington's Adult Family Home rules, and keeps families informed.
Transfers, footwear, lighting, hydration, sleep, and medication effects all connect to fall risk. RN-led awareness helps the team notice patterns and adjust daily routines.
Dementia support starts with daily rhythms: familiar caregivers, calm spaces, lower stimulation, gentle cueing, meals, sleep, and family updates.
Sosena Mekuria, RN, supports care planning, communication with healthcare professionals, and coordination when residents' care needs change.
After a hospital or rehab stay, families often need help making sense of medications, mobility limits, equipment, follow-up appointments, and supervision needs.
Clear, practical updates for families and POAs about what is changing, what support is needed, and which next step is realistic.
Magnolia's Resource Center is designed to help families understand care decisions before they feel rushed. Articles are reviewed through an RN-led lens for safety, dignity, family communication, and practical next steps.
The guidance is educational, not a substitute for medical, legal, or financial advice.
Magnolia can talk through care needs, timing, room availability, family concerns, and what to ask during a private tour.
