Sunshine Gardens is a 55-bed senior living community at 442 Comfort Drive in Marion, Illinois. Owned and operated by Venus Properties, LLC, this independently owned campus holds an active license through February 2026 under the state’s Assisted Living and Shared Housing Establishment Act. The community provides a continuum of care, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, within a centrally located facility in Williamson County.
The facility provides 24-hour medical oversight and localized care coordination. While no CMS star rating applies to this state-regulated community, current 2026 data show that the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent complaint investigations in late 2025. Regulatory records for the past year return no deficiencies, with three separate investigated complaints all found to be unsubstantiated. Monthly pricing for the community is positioned competitively, with costs starting at approximately $2,800 for independent units and ranging up to $4,095 for full assisted living.
Bedside support is coordinated 24/7 by a professional team that includes on-site nursing for 12–16 hours daily. The clinical model integrates a specialized mental wellness program, diabetes monitoring, and incontinence care, supported by a state-of-the-art emergency response system in every unit. For residents with cognitive decline, the memory care wing provides a secure community and an enclosed courtyard to prevent wandering while encouraging outdoor activity. Current clinical tracking focuses on personalized wellness plans and regular family care plan meetings to maintain health stability.
The facility features spacious apartments with kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, and individually controlled climate systems. All-inclusive monthly services cover three chef-prepared meals daily, housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared community spaces include an on-site movie theater, a beauty and barber shop, a library with computer access, and a mini-convenience store. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily engagement through group exercise, religious services, and big band events. The community holds a high Walk Score of 86, and scheduled transportation is provided to ensure residents remain connected to the Marion city center.
Those seeking a community with a strong multi-decade regulatory history and an affordable entry point for Southern Illinois may find this setting appropriate. Individuals should contact the administrator directly to confirm current availability and discuss specific memory care support levels to assess 2026 performance firsthand.
