JAG Healthcare Harding, found at 340 Oak Street in Marion, Ohio, accepts Medicaid and Medicare and delivers skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services with a long history in the community, so people have known it for over a century and still see regular updates in the rooms and programs like the comfortable private rooms, each with their own bathroom for comfort and privacy. Residents get support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication, plus help with meals including allergy-sensitive and diabetic options; meals come restaurant-style and the staff takes care in honoring special diets, providing a furnished setting with meal prep and cleaning done by housekeeping with laundry services, too. The building is set up with safety at the heart of things with a 24-hour supervision system, emergency alert buttons, magnetic self-locking doors with alarms, a Wanderguard system for those who need secure memory care, and facility-wide monitoring to help residents stay safe and comfortable all the time. There's an active therapy department providing speech, occupational, and physical therapy in a dedicated gym, with services for both those living long-term and those needing short-term recovery after surgery, illness, or injury, and the campus includes a rare focus on cognitive deficit rehabilitation to support residents with Alzheimer's or other memory problems, including participation in the state's Music and Memory Project using music as an alternative to medication for some care needs.
Residents can enjoy calming outdoor areas, like a peaceful garden and walking paths, a central courtyard with a fish pond, and comfortable indoor spaces with arts rooms, a cozy dining room, and an activity area for social events, movie outings, trips to parks, and even restaurant visits when able, so there's a schedule filled with both staff-led and resident-run activities to keep folks engaged. Wound care, IV therapy, trach and feeding tube care, and hospice support are available on-site, as well as respite for families who need short-term stays. The campus is equipped for visitors and families, and offers educational resources and support groups so families understand more about their loved one's care. Harding also has a structured program for nurse aide training, hands-on clinical work, and support for state exam readiness, so students must wear scrubs for clinicals and get their required health checks before starting because the facility also focuses on teaching and teamwork as part of its broader mission. There's cable access in rooms, internet for members, and programs aimed at wellness, disease management, and restorative nursing to help folks feel as independent as possible, always with staff who show patience and an understanding of each person's individual needs.
Harding works closely with many local programs like MarionMade!, Travel Programs, and cultural initiatives, plus economic efforts and community partnerships to support both residents and the wider town, and all this is managed with a multi-disciplinary team that's worked in behavioral care for over a decade. With cozy shared gathering spots, regular social and cultural programs, employment support resources, and decades-spanning community involvement, JAG Healthcare Harding tries to cover a lot of ground, from healthcare to quality of life, making sure folks can live in a place that feels secure, familiar, and welcoming no matter what challenges come up.
