Kingston Residence of Marion is a senior living community at 464 James Way, Marion, Ohio, that offers a range of services including assisted living, independent living, memory care, adult day care, skilled nursing, and short-term stays, and the place has all sorts of options like studio apartments, one- and two-bedroom units, and even suites with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, and patios or balconies if someone wants a bit more space or fresh air, and you'll find walk-in tubs, accessible sinks, and wheelchair-friendly showers in the units as well. People living here get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication, and moving around if they need it, and trained staff provide care twenty-four hours a day, plus there's on-site nurses and even therapies like occupational, physical, and speech therapy for folks who need a little extra help recovering or keeping up strength. Memory care is specially designed for people with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secure areas, tailored programs to reduce confusion, and safety features like emergency call systems, bathroom rails, and a building with controlled access so nobody wanders off. There are diabetic, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care services too, so everyone gets the help needed.
The dining program puts focus on healthy, nutritious meals made by in-house chefs who'll use recipes residents like for a touch of home, and there are special dietary options available, whether it's chopped meals for easy swallowing or something for a medical need, and if someone wants to eat with family, they can use private dining rooms, or join neighbors in the restaurant-style dining areas, including a special dining room for memory care residents with comfortable seating and nice touches like a chandelier. Community spaces include a welcoming lobby, a lounge, a library with plenty of books, a game room with pool and card tables, and a TV lounge, while the wellness center has a fitness room and a sauna or steam room for those who want to stay active, and outside, you'll find a shady pergola with benches, a courtyard, walking paths, outdoor patios, and chances to garden, or even just sit and watch a vintage red truck and an American flag. Residents can bring cats and enjoy visits from therapy pets, and there's staff to help take care of things like laundry and housekeeping so life's a little easier, with transportation for outings and appointments and parking for those who drive.
