My dad has moved into Sunshine Gardens Assisted Living. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They've made it a lot easier on us, the family. The room is very nice, I couldn't ask for anything better for an assisted living facility. Everything's nice, he gets housekeeping once a week. They're doing his laundry. The dining area is very nice. He's a very picky eater, but whatever they serve him, he tends to eat. I was with him for a couple of meals, and it was very nice because they have a person on staff that cooks all homemade meals. They have several activities, but he's not involved in those right now, he doesn't participate in any.

I visited Sunshine Gardens. It's a smaller place that's one level. It was nice and clean. The gentleman showed us the different rooms, and it was just too small. I knew it wouldn't work. We could have gone up to a 2-bedroom, but then you're talking a lot more money. The rooms were just small, and it's very clean. Everything was really good. There was nothing I didn't like about it, other than the small rooms. They didn't have nurses or CNAs. The staff was very nice and very heartfelt in his work there; you could tell it meant a lot to him. It was already past lunch, so we didn't get to see any food. They were all cleaning up afterward, but that was it. We just toured a couple of rooms, then he walked us through the whole facility. They have the hairdresser, and everything else. They did all the therapies, occupation, speech, and the other two; there's four of them. They had a lot that looked out in through the back, which was nice. It is fixed up for going out there, sitting, relaxing, and reading. It was nice. It probably wasn't as extravagant as the others. I rate them overall a three, only because you don't take half points. They're almost up there, but they're smaller. It's in the way I like them, and what they had to offer. It's not knocking the place, it's just that the other ones were way above average.

I visited the other facilities. The rooms are larger compared to the other facilities of similar range. Staff is very pleasant and supportive. Multiple activities indoors-out doors are available for the residents. They have a salon, spa, movie theater, store, very large dining hall and activity area, I am very impresses with the cleanliness of the place. Kitchen was extremely clean and quite large. Freshly prepared meals are offered to the residents. I feel it is the best facility in Marion area,

Sunshine Gardens has a nice backyard with a fence around it. Initially, I thought that would be the place I would like to go, but the rooms were very small. They were even smaller than in the other community. I couldn't live in one of the rooms like that. They didn't have much storage space at all. The staff who assisted me was very nice. I enjoyed talking with her. But I didn't see any activities going on while we were there. They need to improve the size of their apartments. There was not enough storage room, and the rooms were small. Maybe they could make one out of two, and that would be a few more space.

We used Sunshine Gardens for about 5 days. It was very nice. My loved one enjoyed his stay. The facility was very clean. He said the food was good, but I never tried the food. The dining area was nice. It wasn’t like an institution. It looked like a restaurant. He found other men there to sit with, and he enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and helpful. They had a bingo room. He had a sliding door that would go outside to a secured place like a little courtyard where he can sit outside, and there were other men and a place to sit and talk with them. I would recommend this place; I could stay there myself.
