Households are clusters of private and shared rooms for our residents. Each household has its own staff that offers skilled nursing care and assistance 24/7 in a home-like setting.

The goal of the care teams at Marianwood is to respond to each resident's needs and personal choices. Staff members honor the dignity and individuality of each resident, and to encourage and help restore wellness as well as provide compassionate care, comfort and support.

Resident rooms allow privacy and common areas at the center of the household provide companionship, activity and community. As a resident, you are encouraged to bring pictures and items of personal significance to decorate your room to make yourself feel at home and to reflect your personality and interests. And you are also encouraged to enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow residents and the activities offered in the common areas.

The Resident Council at Marianwood improves the quality of life for all residents and patients by discussing the issues and giving the managers and staff of Marianwood valuable feedback and suggestions related to care, food service, activities and other areas of concern to residents. The Resident Council meets monthly to discuss topics of interest, engage in dialogue with each other and staff members with the goal of contributing to continual improvement of services and maintaining open communication. All residents are welcome to attend and participate.

The Resident Council sponsors a monthly caramel corn sale and donates the proceeds to service projects and to support local charities. The Resident Council also sponsors events such as the annual food drive for the local food bank.

Step inside the doors to Providence Marianwood and you are in the art gallery! Starting in the front lobby and throughout the building, you will find beautiful art from local artists. New shows are on display every two months.

Often the art displayed is available for sale. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the sale of the artwork in our gallery will be donated to support the residents and programs of Providence Marianwood.

The art gallery is open to the public during regular business hours and admission is free!

Thank you to the wonderful artists and the artEAST for bringing these shows to us. And a special word of deep gratitude to Liz Ashley for her dedication in coordinating these shows.
