Marion Woods by Sky Active Living

mom still loves the place. Most people complain about the food, but that's because taste buds age and don't provide the same sensations as you get ones do, which is why most older people complain. Mom doesn't - she's thankful for all the people here that make it a safe place and an enjoyable place. We would recommend Marion Woods to other families.

Experience with Marion Woods by Sky Active Living

The staff is great, and the room is clean. They have staff available to provide more assistance at an additional cost, depending on the level of help you need. Overall, the experience has been good, but everyone can use some improvement. I would recommend the community to others.

They offer so many different options for residents needs for living, cottages, studios, 2 bedroom cottages and even have margarita Wednesdays by the pool. So much more. I asked them to remove the shower doors for my mom because it made her feel claustrophobic and they were there the next day to remove them.

Active Social Life at Marion Woods

Mom enjoys the convenience of meals served in a dining hall where she enjoys socializing with friends her age as well as opportunities to dine in the community, when a group went to The Yearling last month and she truly enjoyed the food and the history. The Yearling is a restaurant named after Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' novel of the same name

We toured the facility and have signed a lease for my father. How do you get access to WiFi/internet, it’s listed as one of the amenities but it wasn’t mentioned on the tour.

Mom loves it!

Marion Woods by Sky Active Living provides a welcoming place for independent living seniors in a safe secure environment. Staff is professional, helpful, and caring. The dining area is open and spacious and meals are served restaurant style, with variety and brought to the table. Rooms have wonderful amenities, as well as safety features (grab bars, etc.)

Would not recommend this place

Went here from motel/hotels, I figured with the meals included and rent I might be better off. House keeping is bad. When one of them is sick or on vacation there is no coverage. The meals are mostly bad, one of the cooks said he could not believe some of the stuff they serve!! They have been told numerous times about a server, [name removed], and she is still there. Most of the night shift won't work with her. Is that anyway to operate a dinning room?

Management has no experience dealing with the elderly. Activities director either ie simple and not challenging. Most residents don't receive weekly housekeeping. Most Servers don't see to residents needs ie, Go in bathroom and come out wearing same gloves, picking up thing off floor while serving. Rude to residents, Food is getting better but nothing is hot. Are they trained in restaurant etiquette?

Would definitely recommend.

Very clean, attentive and lots of activities. It's a studio apartment, small, but a good size for a studio. It has a lovely outdoor balcony space, screened in, and with a door with a window and a storm/screen door. Complete with a kitchenette.

New management team is destroying your business at Marion Woods.

I’m going to be frank. After 9 years of living here I am so ashamed of how far this facility has fallen from the top to the bottom. You have hired three people who worked together at Walgreens. A clique of unfit workers who are not doing their job. Please interview the residents. Do you have any idea how many people have left due to these issues!??

Suggestion

My biggest issue is that there is nothing in writing for a new resident. Such as "what day is trash day?" What are the times for meals? Just stuff that new residents don't know already.

Taking a necessary big step

I have lived at Marion Woods for over a year. It is meeting my needs very well. I have the perfect apartment, 3 meals a day, light housekeeping every week, delightful entertainment and activities, shuttle bus for my dr appts, hair salon and shopping. I have made some very dear friends. The staff has always been most friendly and accommodating.

Need Big Improvement

To whom it may concern: I am very disgusted in how Marion Woods home turned out after so many nice staff I met quit. There are very few staff now because of the salary and being overworked due to shortage of hand. I am trying to get my mom to move out of there after living there with her for one year and one month as a guest. The experience there was horrible when I visited mom in 2021. I don’t know where to begin. I was not supposed to get a rent raise of 8% after staying with mom a year but got it six months before and the manager of the place couldn’t help mom to remove the rent increase. Mom was so upset that she cried over her rent being increased 8% also and gets increased every year. They are being taking advantage of with the increase of rent and the controlling of the food. The food situation has gotten really bad in the sense that a lot of things are being removed from the menu and hardly anything left for one to choose from that many of the residents are going out food shop.
