Marion Woods

Marion Woods is bathed in the warm Florida sun. Marion Woods is an inviting and friendly place to come home to. You’ll love all that Ocala has to offer, like Rainbow Springs, the Ocala Forest and the Silver River Museum. And if you’re a horse enthusiast, Ocala is the horse capital of the world. We’re also just a short drive from Gainesville and Orlando. You’ll be happy every day with your decision to join our family, and we look forward to meeting you. On-site management teams live right in the community, and are available 24/7 to assist residents with anything they might need. The joy of an all-inclusive lifestyle is writing just one check a month and having life’s daily details taken care of for you.

Dining Perfectly balanced, chef-prepared meals:

Three times a day, Holiday residents are treated to truly quality cuisine. Our menus are carefully planned to meet the dietary needs of our residents, with alternate options available to any resident who’d prefer something different. Everything, from entrée to dessert, is made from scratch with real, wholesome, high-quality ingredients, and served by a friendly wait staff in our restaurant-style dining room. Enjoy world-class cuisine in a relaxed, social setting, or host a special event for friends and family in our intimate private dining room.

Programs and Activities:

Another day, another opportunity for growth
Because engaged seniors lead richer, more satisfying lives, we have put together a robust calendar of activities designed to stimulate the seven dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social and vocational. Every day, residents have up to eight different activities and events they can participate in, including stitching and high tea, bean bag baseball, exercise classes, educational lectures and Wii® bowling tournaments. Our goal is to provide opportunities for residents to participate in things they enjoy and discover new passions.

Seniors Serving Seniors/Seniors Serving Society:

Exclusive to Holiday is the international, award-winning volunteer program, Seniors Serving Seniors and Seniors Serving Society (SSS). Named “Most Innovative Program of the year” in 2007 by the International Council on Active Aging, SSS gives our residents the opportunity to engage in causes they feel passionate about — helping school children learn to read, collecting food donations for local food banks, working with the homeless, or supporting our troops. Residents get to become involved in the local community and experience the joy of giving back.
