Recent reviews of Independent Living in The Plains, OH
5 / 5.0

All of the staff no matter their role, were completely genuine in their service and heart for their jobs. They took great care of our mother.

5 / 5.0

We have found the staff to be supportive and generally good with communication. I cannot speak personally to the housekeeping or the food as I am not there often, but my mother says the food is okay and the place seems clean when I do visit. I would recommend Elison of Marietta to others.

5 / 5.0

The shops to get things for your loved one is close and lots of restaurants to chose from. I would tell a friend, it's an awesome place and we all really like it. They have really worked with my mom and are so nice and kind to her very clean she loves the food everything about the place.
