Marian Village sits in Homer Glen, Illinois, on a large and quiet campus with 80 acres, pretty gardens, and walking paths, so residents can easily enjoy strolls outside or sit in peaceful areas to take in the view. The community has a Catholic mission under the Franciscan Communities, where spiritual well-being matters, and they offer regular religious opportunities and bible study alongside other life-enriching activities. There's a range of living options, including independent living homes and apartments, assisted living apartments, residential care homes for those who need a live-in caregiver, and skilled nursing care. Memory care services are planned for 2025. Home healthcare and non-medical home care are available through Franciscan Care Solutions, with aides to provide support and companionship for seniors living at home.
The community features monthly calendars full of activities like craft classes, shopping trips, luncheons, movie nights, fitness programs, and special events. Residents can visit nearby parks, restaurants such as Miller's Ale House, and stop for coffee at Starbucks, or enjoy local sports, including Blackhawks games and trips to Lake Michigan. They can listen to or play the piano, spend time in the library, or use the game room for recreation. There's plenty of space to join group art projects, attend fitness classes, or join in social gatherings. Marion Village handles daily living needs with 24-hour supervision, assistance with daily activities like dressing and bathing, and medication management. They pay attention to mental wellness, offer specialized dietary options, and serve meals in a dining room with fine silverware and linen-style napkins, using locally sourced foods when possible, and there's a Bistro for more casual options.
Residents have access to Advocate Medical Group and Walgreens pharmacy nearby for health necessities, while the campus is pet-friendly and handicap accessible, and there's always Wi-Fi/high-speed internet for those who want it. The atmosphere aims for a relaxing and active way of living, so people can feel both invigorated and comfortable. There are no guarantees about every service being available all the time, like the non-operating building onsite or specific information not included, but the staff keeps care compassionate and attentive with an eye to both body and spirit. The homes promise a maintenance-free lifestyle for seniors who want to spend more time on hobbies and less on chores, and the campus offers a virtual tour for those wanting a look without visiting in person.
