Marion Assisted Living LLC
4.8

We feel good about our parents being in this facility. The staff is very caring and look after them very well. My parents wish their apartment was a little larger - but the apartment is nice. . I gave food a four, but I feel that this is difficult for staff, due to inflation. I do believe they try very hard to please the residents. Overall, it has been a very good choice for them.

The staff members have been friendly and supportive from the beginning of our experience with Emporia Place. There was thorough explanation of policy and paper work that was involved with my mother's move. Over-all, we are pleased with the care, and the facility itself. My mother has joined in with most of the activities and feels safe and secure in her apartment. We would recommend Emporia Place to others looking to make a change for a loved one.
