Miller's Merry Manor

Miller's Merry Manor in Marion, Indiana, sits over at 505 North Bradner Avenue and has a bit of everything for older folks who need care, you see, and some call it a nursing home but it also has assisted living, memory care and even a place for adult day care, so there's a wide mix. The staff there handle physical, speech, and occupational therapy, with special therapy rooms using equipment like resistance bands and stairs, and they even have a therapy kitchen so people can keep up their old routines or try something new if they want. People get their choice of private or semi-private suites with things like beds, recliners, and window views, and there's a memory care wing with lounges full of plants and cozy decor. They serve meals restaurant-style under the premier dining program and keep extras like a beauty and barber shop around, plus a nice outdoor courtyard with a gazebo where folks go get some sun or fresh air when it's a good day. There are wheelchair-accessible vans for outings and medical appointments so everyone can get where they need to be, and visiting hours run from 8 in the morning until 8 at night, but staff are always nearby because it's a 24-hour care place. The campus has room for 176 Medicare beds in the main nursing section and 24 licensed apartments for those who choose assisted living, which gives some choices depending on what's needed. There's a secured dementia unit for people with memory care needs, outpatient rehab programs, respite stays if families need a break, and even religious services and recreational activities mixed into the schedule. Being an employee-owned place, Miller's Merry Manor says it focuses on holistic care and comfort, but some folks have had mixed experiences as it sits at a 2.8 rating from a handful of reviews, so it could be wise to give it a closer look for the fit.
