Since 1964, Indiana families have looked to Miller’s Merry Manor for compassionate care for their loved ones. At Miller’s, we know that caring for a loved one with Dementia/Alzheimer’s Disease can have its ups and downs - and that’s why Miller’s Merry Manor Marion would like our community to know that we are here to help. We have our newly remodeled Memory Care unit, called the Boulevard.
The Boulevard promotes stimulation and engagement by celebrating each resident’s physical, intellectual and spiritual strengths and achievements. Based on both a natural and sensory inspired environment, Miller’s staff assists residents with personalized care planning, clinical assistance, educational and ongoing interactive relationships provides residents and their families a diverse, contemporary and compassionate care environment.
