Fifth Season Residential, located at 401 Reichert Dr in Marion, Illinois, is an assisted living and retirement apartment community that's connected with healthcare places like Hillview Healthcare Center, so folks can get help with medical needs and long-term care. This place provides daily support for people who need assistance with bathing, medication, dressing, getting around, or even help with eating, and they don't stop on weekends, since caregivers are always around from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM each day, with staff on site all hours. Residents have choices like studio units, shared living spaces, or one-bedroom apartments, all fitted with safety features such as private bathrooms, emergency systems, protected keypad entry, and sprinkler systems, plus utilities and cable TV are included. There's a fitness section, a therapy room, a library, computer area, and a large community dining room, along with community porches and a kitchen where residents can meet or join activities like crafts or group outings, and if folks like animals, animal care is available, too.
Residents get help as needed, but they also have the choice to be independent where they can, and features like kitchens or kitchenettes in the apartments give a homelike feel, and some units are wheelchair accessible for easier movement. For those who could use memory care, Parkinson's support, or diabetic care, trained caregivers work with visiting specialists and outside doctors to coordinate services, while daily life is made easier with laundry, linen, meal prep, bed making, and housekeeping. Wellness gets plenty of attention, with regular nurse visits, a doctor on call, check-ups every month, physical and occupational therapy visits, and an on-site salon and grooming area, which means people can keep up with haircuts or other personal needs without going far. Guests and family members are welcome at the planned gatherings and family events, and there's even concierge service for extra requests or help with getting to appointments, though some things like transportation cost extra. There are only 14 senior apartments, so it feels more personal and close-knit than bigger places.
The staff assist with every day needs, like medication reminders, moving safely, or spoon feeding if it's needed, alongside supporting family members making decisions about long-term care or insurance. The doors are always secured with a 24-hour security system, so residents and their families have peace of mind, and mail, cable, and utilities come as part of the package so no one has to fuss with bills. Fifth Season Residential is privately owned and takes pride in keeping things comfortable and direct, whether someone's there for regular assisted living, memory care, respite care, or even hospice support. The focus stays on helping people remain as independent as possible, while making sure they're safe, well-cared for, and have access to whatever support they or their family members might require as needs change.
