Review for The Views of Marion

The staff was friendly, and the facility and room were nice. Overall, we felt the community was okay, and we truly liked many of the people who worked there. However, we found the memory care unit to be understaffed. The staff did their best, and most were good at their jobs, but there were some who appeared to lack the training and experience needed to properly manage residents with dementia. We were also surprised to learn that we were not the only family who had to hire an outside company to provide additional

Review for The Views of Marion

The place is nice has lovely people but not enough staff to be ran properly. I would not recommend the memory care portion but not blaming the staff. They were mostly caring but not equipped to handle the amount of clients

Excellent Facility - Caring Staff

Our family has been most pleased with the Views of Marion! The facility is bright and clean and the entry way inviting. The staff has been superior in every way; they go the extra mile to ensure a resident is comfortable and engaged. There are activities and field trips, various music performances , an on-site beauty shop and religious services for all. The grounds are scenic and well kept; you can even spot some deer out your window. Other than the staff and facility itself, I particularly like the pleated window

A wonderful facility with great staff

My mother lives at The Views of Marion. The facility itself is bright and open. The staff is friendly and caring. They have daily activities that are divided between appropriate physical movement and intellectual stimulation. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Family of Memory Care Resident

Our mother has been with the Views of Marion since the Spring of 2020. She just loves the programs and calls the Views her home. We are so grateful to the staff and for the friendships she has made with the other residents. She loves going to [name removed] in the Beauty Salon every Friday. They truly make you feel like Family!

Daughter of [name removed], resident

I am consulted when there is a decision to be made regarding my mother's health. As power of attorney, I handle her finances and health decisions. However, I live in Arizona and not present during the day to day events. But I do hear from the staff on regular basis, as well as talking with my mother. The staff is very attentive to my mother's needs and will often bring her lunch or dinner to her room, if she is unable to come to the dinning room.
