My parents have moved into The Villages at Marion. The overall experience is very good. The units are very nice. The common areas are nice, too. They're open and very clean. They have lots of activities. There's always something going on every day. There's lots of variety. The people are friendly and helpful. The other residents there are very nice and seem very happy to be there.

The staff is very caring and helpful. The people living there are friendly to people moving in. Lots of activities going on and a busy calendar for the month.

My father is at The Villages at Marion. We just liked the location and we liked the people that we talked to there. It was a good fit for him. He says he doesn't particularly care for the meals they serve, but he's a little picky. Other than that, everything's good. The staff is very friendly and outgoing. They have games, puzzles, outings, and stuff like that. They've got plenty to do. It's clean and the atmosphere is nice. They have a senior bus, so they take them out to the grocery store and they can take them to doctor appointments. It's right along the main drag and it borders a city park, so there are activities next door that they can watch.

The Villages at Marion's location and facility have been updated, and are new and very clean. The staff is way above average, from housekeeping to the kitchen. Everybody here is really super, and you can't believe how good the housekeeping is. They have a lot of activities and it's really convenient that they make trips every day to different grocery stores, Walmart, dollar stores, or doctors appointments. They do a really good job with that. The food is very good.

My mom is already in the Villages at Marion. First of all, our situation is very different because mom was the one who decided that she was ready for independent living, so that was a real gift for the family. Mom got to keep her old cat, which was required, and she is still close enough to her church to go, which was huge for her. She also gets to keep her car although she doesn’t know if she will continue using it or so, but they allowed her to park it there. And she is delighted with the food. I don’t know the staff, but she likes them. It is an older facility, it is not really fancy, but it is clean and nice. Mom is fine with all that, and she likes it. Her apartment is only about 220 sq.ft. less than what she had in her condo, so she was able to get something spacious enough to not feel claustrophobic as well. They are just really very realistic, down-to-earth people. They don’t try to sell you something they don’t really have. They have storage for $10 a month there, and they have activities, transportation, and all those bells and whistles. And we get to use the big activity room for family Christmas or Thanksgiving, which is pretty cool because we can still have Thanksgiving at mom’s, but in a big nice room that accommodates 30 to 35 people. People don’t immediately have to get rid of all of their things that they can’t fit in; they have the option of storage right there on-site.

We've moved into The Villages at Marion. We chose it because we could afford it, and it looked like it had a lot of activities. I am a little disappointed because there's not that many people here who play cards, which is one of the things I was looking for in a community. The food is very good, and the apartments are fine. They don't have a pool or gym, but they do have books. It was large enough that we could bring our king-sized bed and our big television. The room's bigger than a lot of the others that we saw.

The Villages at Marion was the only place I found that I can afford, and they were OK. They have a stove and a refrigerator in the kitchen, so you can do some of your own cooking. But their prices were higher as far as you have to pay extra for the meals. It was very hard to make contact with their salesperson. We just had a terrible time getting her to call us back. She was nice enough, because I did meet her and she did show me around the place, but then I had some questions. I have a conservator that pays my bills, and she was going to go and look at the place, but we just could not make a connection with them. I don't think it was a matter of not wanting to, but maybe she was too busy, I don't know. I would have thought that since they showed an interest when my girlfriend and I did go and look at things that they would want to crowd me in, so to speak. The place just seemed older and it could use a little updating, maybe. I wasn't particularly depressed with it, but I wasn't impressed either.
