Elison Assisted Living & Memory Care of Marietta sits on five acres of landscaped grounds along Browns Road, close to the Ohio and Little Muskingum Rivers, and although the walk score is low, folks live in a quiet spot surrounded by farmland where the setting feels peaceful and open. The community provides both assisted living and memory care, with specialized attention for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, and the staff knows how to work with memory issues, making sure residents get help around the clock when needed. People can choose from studio and deluxe studio apartments, which have kitchenettes, safety-equipped bathrooms, and weekly housekeeping and linen services, and there are pull cords and pendants for help if something goes wrong, while the bathrooms have added safety measures too. The place is warm and relaxing, decorated with comfortable and inviting common spaces like a sunroom, living room, activity and dining rooms, front porch, and a chapel for quiet reflection, and there's always something for people who want to join in, like arts and crafts, music, happy hour, games, movies, faith services, outings to shops and restaurants, and group celebrations. Meals come from a culinary team that makes food that's both healthy and tasty, and in memory care they use the G.R.A.C.E. dining program so folks avoid stress or confusion while eating, plus the staff accommodates special diets and gives a hand with dining if needed.
Residents can get help with medication reminders, daily activities, and personal care, and there's scheduled transportation for errands, appointments, or shopping, so even with the car-dependent location, people aren't stuck at home. The grounds include relaxing patios, gardens, and outdoor seating areas with nice views, and indoors there are plenty of places to spend time, like a library, private dining room, activity spaces, and a beauty salon and barber shop for folks who like to keep up with their grooming. Pets are mostly not allowed, as they don't take cats or dogs of any size, and the pet rules are strict. The apartments range from 286 to 363 square feet and come with different layouts to suit different preferences. The care team builds personalized care plans for each person, treating residents like family, and the programs keep everyone busy and engaged, with weekly social events and a monthly newsletter to keep folks informed about what's coming up. Housekeeping, maintenance, and laundry services are all included, so people have less to worry about day-to-day. The building has no posted information on parking, but the property appears to offer parking and probably a garage, though details aren't clear. The community welcomes all people and follows federal protections against housing discrimination.
For those needing a short-term stay, respite care is offered as well. The focus is on keeping residents safe, engaged, and as independent as possible, whether someone's in assisted living or memory care. Elison Assisted Living & Memory Care of Marietta is licensed under License# 2151R and is part of the Sagora Senior Living group, offering a steady, well-supported environment for seniors looking to live in a vibrant but safe community.
