Overview of Sunshine Gardens

Sunshine Gardens offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Marion, IL. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while residents maintain their own apartments, independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care is also available for short stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs temporary support while traveling or recovering.

With 55 beds, Sunshine Gardens is a smaller community where residents and staff can get to know one another. Apartment options include basic studios, deluxe studios, one-bedroom apartments, and two-bedroom apartments; a studio suits one resident seeking a single private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The community offers rehabilitation services, religious services, a salon, and transportation, giving residents access to these services without arranging each one independently.

Chef-prepared meals use fresh ingredients, offer broad menu choices, and accommodate dietary restrictions, so residents can select from available dishes while receiving meals suited to documented dietary needs. Sunshine Gardens also holds resident and family care plan meetings, creating a scheduled setting to discuss a resident’s care needs with family members. The community is operated by Venus Properties, and its very walkable area, with a Walk Score of 86, places most errands within walking distance for a resident who no longer drives and wants to get out independently.
