MARION ASSISTED LIVING

My parents chose the Marion Assisted Living facility as a place to live out the final years of their lives. In the beginning, Mom needed more assistance than Dad. Mom really enjoyed the social, recreational and exercise & wellness activities. Dad had been a medical doctor, and as such was a difficult patient/resident, because he knew best how to deal with is health and medication issues.. He was more a lot more independent than Mom. He did not need the assistance and simply refused the personal services and medication management that is part of the services offered. Over the course of their stay both Mom & Dad were cared for and loved by the Marion Assisted Living staff. The staff handled the routine and sometimes difficult situations that they were confronted with, mostly from Dad. However, the staff's care and concern for my parents was demonstrated over and over and over again. I am extremely grateful and so appreciative of the staff. Mom passed a year before Dad. Dad’s last year was difficult at best because he missed his wife of over 72 years. During Dad's last days, the staff was instrumental in getting Dad out of the hospital and back to his home (MAL facility) and passed within 24-48 hours of his return to his room. So, if you are looking for a place for your parents to live out their lives, the Marion Assisted Living facility would be an excellent place for them to stay and live. Residents will be well taken care of by a staff that cares deeply about them and serves their every need in so many excellent ways.

My mother moved into Marion Assisted Living as a final stopover to recuperate after falling and breaking her pelvis. She fully intended to move back into her home when she was self sufficient. After spending several months there she really enjoyed being there, the people and not having the worries of keeping up a home and yard. Being such a small facility we've come to know the staff, residents and their families on a personal level. The entire staff are so kind and always willing to go above and beyond to deal with each residents individual needs. My aunt spent her finals days here and everyone helped the family so much making sure everyone was as comfortable as possible during a very difficult time! I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for a small family oriented home for your loved ones.
