MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—As winter’s chill lingers, many families are considering the safety and well-being of their elderly loved ones. Bob Goyer from Kingston of Marion discusses the benefits of assisted living and how to know when it’s time to make the move.
“Safety is the number one concern,” Goyer said. “Are they safe at home? Are they trying to shovel the snow by themselves? Are they going to fall and break their hip?”
Goyer emphasized that each person’s situation is unique, but common signs include difficulty maintaining the home and increased reliance on family members for daily tasks. “When family members start doing everything, it can wear on them and create resentment,” he noted.
Kingston of Marion offers a resort-like environment with private apartments, three daily meals, and a variety of activities. “It’s independent living, but help is available if needed,” Goyer explained. The facility provides peace of mind for families, knowing their loved ones are safe and engaged.
Upcoming events at Kingston include a chili cook-off and community breakfasts. Goyer encourages families to schedule a tour to see the facility firsthand. “We often hear, ‘I wish we would have done this sooner,'” he said.
Kingston of Marion is located at 464 James Way, Marion, Ohio. For more information or to schedule a tour, call 740-389-2311.
