Cedar Creek of Marion
Cedar Creek of Marion is a 47-bed nonprofit assisted living and memory care community at 725 W. 50th Street in Marion, Indiana. Managed by Marion AL, LLC and led by administrator Dorine Ward and Director of Nursing Rose Johnson, the facility serves Grant County under its current licensure following a transition from its former identity as York Place. The community provides an affordable residential model featuring assisted living, memory care, and respite services.
The facility operates under a state-licensed residential framework, offering 24-hour medical oversight and localized healthcare coordination. While the community does not carry a CMS star rating, current 2026 data shows a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent June 2025 compliance monitoring. Occupancy is approximately 49%, with 23 of 47 beds currently filled, and the facility stands out as a value-oriented option that accepts Medicaid. Pricing is positioned competitively for north-central Indiana, with studio units starting at $3,250 and one-bedroom apartments starting at $3,850 per month.
Direct support is provided 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses and professional caregivers. The clinical model coordinates on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy upon request, supported by a 24-hour emergency call system in every resident unit. Regulatory records from early 2025 noted past challenges in food service protocols, specifically regarding hand hygiene and labeling, which have since been addressed through corrective actions and subsequent clean inspections. Residents benefit from individual climate controls and health monitoring in a pet-friendly environment where all utilities and expanded cable are included.
The facility features studio and one-bedroom floor plans with weekly housekeeping and laundry services. All-inclusive monthly services cover three home-cooked meals daily, personal mailboxes, and community-wide WiFi.
Shared community spaces include a beauty shop and barbershop, outdoor areas with walking paths, and venues for on-site religious services. Because the location is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 0, the facility provides scheduled transportation to ensure residents maintain access to the broader Marion area. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily engagement and wellness activities.
Those seeking a Medicaid-eligible environment with a strong value-to-amenity ratio may find this community appropriate. Individuals considering this option should contact the administrator directly to discuss current food safety monitoring and activity programming credentials to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
