Perry County Nursing Home in Marion, AL renewed their Eden Registry status on October 14, 2010. On first appearance, looking at the home's physical structure, you might get the impression that this is an institutional environment. All you have to do is walk in their doors to learn that first impressions can be completely wrong. This home takes great pride in their welcoming, southern hospitality. The warm, enlivened environment is filled with bird song, handmade decorations, great outdoor gathering spaces, and engaged Elders. Care partners' children often come to hang out with the Elders throughout the day. College students come in to learn from the Elders. Larger community happenings often stimulate an interest in a road trip from the Elders, whether it is visiting the local Pumpkin Patch, ice cream shop, going fishing, participating in the homecoming parade or viewing Christmas lights. This is a home where everyone is well-known and welcomed for the value they bring to life here.
