I just met with the sales woman Caitlin to tour the facility for my senior mom. The place is beautiful totally renovated and had other tours for other facilities. This was my first tour of the day. I was eagerly waiting to sign a lease for my mother. Warm and friendly vibes and so many activities for the seniors. I look forward to moving my mom into Marion Woods and taking advantage of all of the amenities that they offer.

Very nice community . Welcoming and warm environment
