What to Consider About Assisted Living in Marion
Marion, IA, was chosen as the seat of Linn County before anybody actually settled the area, in 1839. Today, this city of 37,198 is one of the fastest growing towns in the state, and its 16 assisted living communities offer senior residents maximum independence and privacy. The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals regulates these facilities, where seniors can expect room and board, regular community activities, 24-hour emergency response when they need it and help with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing and personal care.
