Marion Woods in Ocala, FL is an independent living community designed for residents who want to maintain an active lifestyle while having access to a secure environment. Independent living at this community means residents manage their own schedules and come and go as they please, yet have staff available around the clock for routine assistance or in case an urgent need arises.

Complementing its independent living model, Marion Woods keeps several clinical supports close at hand. Residents can receive speech therapy on-site, and the community partners with hospice providers for end-of-life care when necessary. A licensed nurse oversees day-to-day wellness checks, while visiting physical and occupational therapists help residents maintain or improve mobility and daily function. Regular podiatry visits reduce the need for outside trips to foot-care specialists, and these coordinated services make it possible for residents to handle many of their health needs without leaving the property.

Apartments and cottages come in multiple layouts, and all offer basic maintenance. Most residences include regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services, though availability can vary by unit type, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour.

Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three meals each day and offers restaurant-style table service. Guest meals allow visiting family to dine on site, and the staff occasionally organizes BBQs or picnic events for a change of pace. Meals are included in the monthly plan, with menu adjustments available for common dietary needs.

Residents have access to on-site parking for personal vehicles, a barber and beauty shop for grooming, an exercise room for daily workouts, concierge assistance for everyday tasks, and a library for quiet reading or small gatherings.
