Northwood Manor in Marion, Indiana, is structured as an Independent Living community, yet it maintains a clinical support platform that covers many health needs. The team can monitor residents under 60, coordinate diabetic care for those on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale regimens, and provide oversight for individuals with mild dementia. On-site medical services include access to assisted-living–level support, medication management, ambulatory and incontinence care, memory care oversight, podiatry visits, and routine laundry and dry-cleaning for health-related hygiene needs.
Continuous safety and staffing measures back up this clinical framework. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, an awake night shift is in place, and staff perform background checks before hire. Door alarms and in-room pull cords connect residents to staff at any hour, and security personnel remain on site around the clock. Residents who need help can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, or toileting, while meals are self-served for those able to eat independently. Transfer support ranges from supervision with a walker to one-person wheelchair transfers.
Private apartments may include features such as a bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate the space; housekeeping is provided. Because layouts vary, not every unit contains every listed feature, so it is best to confirm specifics when touring.
Dining services offer a set menu at regular mealtimes, an on-order option, and snacks throughout the day. Meals can be taken in the main dining room, in-room, or in a private dining area for special occasions. The kitchen can accommodate diet modifications, including vegetarian selections, to support medical or personal preferences.
Residents have access to parking, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, high-speed internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for errands and appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
