Anna is one of the most rude people i have ever had to interact with and i am happy none of my family members health is in her hands.

Marion Oaks is extremely clean. My father is upstairs on the second floor and we liked the layout, and there are two people on constantly for the 10 residents that are up there 24/7. He is always clean when we go in. They take him downstairs to the assisted living sometimes to do activities, and he made me a Valentine's card. He enjoys the food, and it's served hot. They prepare the food down in the first floor and they get the residents down to the lunchroom. The food is warm and has good portions.

Marion Oaks is extremely clean. My father is upstairs on the second floor and we liked the layout, and there are two people on constantly for the 10 residents that are up there 24/7. He is always clean when we go in. They take him downstairs to the assisted living sometimes to do activities, and he made me a Valentine's card. He enjoys the food, and it's served hot. They prepare the food down in the first floor and they get the residents down to the lunchroom. The food is warm and has good portions. It's almost too much food for him because he really never finished anything. I've been very happy with the staff and the 2 coordinators. They have worked really hard to get physical therapy in for my father. He's in a fully furnished respite room, and they waived the community fee and everything.

My mother-in-law is very happy at Marion Oaks Assisted Living. It's wonderful, clean, and well staffed. The staff members are all friendly and very helpful. She loves every one of them. I've been in the dining room three times; their food smells delicious. She eats everything they give her, so she must like it. She loves their activities.

Clean, quiet, very attentive

My mother moved to Marion Oaks, and it’s a locked facility, which is what we wanted. The staff is great with my mom, but they don't have registered nurses there. They pass out meds but don't give shots. It's a nice, clean, and practically new facility. They each have their own rooms which are larger than some of the other places we looked at. They have bingo and a very big, varied menu.

We are very impressed with Marion Oaks. The comradery among staff members was evident. Qualified staff, lovely facility & wide variety of activities available. Reasonable number of residents. Appreciate the Memory care & Alzheimer residents are accommodated on the 2nd floor. We feel this would be a good option for our Mom.

My family is very pleased and grateful with the place we chose for mom. It is a very clean smelling and new establishment. We do see that they offer the residents a varied menu of activities. They do encourage mom to participate, sometimes she chooses to decline and she has earned the right being that she is 101. They let us know that she has a good appetite. I haven't had a chance to sample the food with her yet. They are very good at keeping us up to date on her progress, or if any problems arise, they contact us right away. We feel mom is in a very safe and secure place.
