Assisted living facility nears completion
The much anticipated completion of Marion Assisted Living is about to become reality.
Interior painting and trim work was being completed this week. Carpeting will be installed Monday.
"We've confirmed two residents so far," said Jennifer Gaines, administrator of the facility.
There are 18 apartments with licensing for 24 people.
The facility will provide care to elderly people in need of assistance with daily living. Meals, housekeeping, and 24-hour personnel are among the amenities that will be offered.
"I've mainly been busy talking with people wanting jobs," Gaines said.
A CMA for each shift and a cook will be hired in the coming weeks.
"We'll add more employees as residents move in," she said.
September will be a busy month for Gaines with a state inspection Sept. 17 and an open house scheduled for Sept. 25.
Anyone interested in an apartment or want to apply for a position can contact Gaines at 620-382-3000.
