When seniors in Marion, Indiana, need assistance with some of the daily activities, such as meal preparation or supervision of medications, assisted living facilities offer the help that is required as an option for long-term care. Assisted living is an alternative to residential in-home care or nursing home care. The city of Marion offers all three of these options as well as independent living, continuing care retirement communities and hospice care.
Assisted living facilities, or ALFs, strive to provide help to residents, but they also encourage residents to maintain their independence and to participate in an active social life. Marion enjoys a very low cost of living index, nearly 22 points below the national average. The monthly average cost of a one-bedroom in an assisted living facility is $3,420, while a semi-private room in a nursing home averages $5,232. The cost of a private room in a nursing home averages $6,007 per month. The cost of an in-home health aide averages $3,527 per month.
