At Better Living at Thomas Grove, home is more than a place to live. It’s the people who greet you by name, the routines that are honored rather than rushed, and the care that feels personal from the very first day.
Set in one of the Cedar Rapids area’s most welcoming and fast-growing communities, our senior living community in Marion, Iowa, keeps residents close to the people and places they love. Family is never far away, and the charm of Uptown Marion, with its local shops, restaurants, and community events, is right nearby. It’s an easy place for loved ones to visit often and for residents to stay connected to the life they’ve built here.
Inside our community, connection comes naturally. Residents share meals and stories, cheer each other on, and make newcomers feel like old friends. Our team takes the time to learn what makes each person unique, from favorite morning rituals to lifelong passions, and uses that knowledge to shape days that feel meaningful.
That’s the heart of Better Living at Thomas Grove. This is senior living, only better.
Needs can change over time, and moving shouldn’t have to be part of the answer.
At Better Living at Thomas Grove, assisted living and memory care come together in one community, so residents can stay in a place that already feels familiar, surrounded by the same faces and friendships, as their needs evolve.

Better Days™ is Better Living’s signature memory care program, and it’s all about helping residents experience joy, comfort, and purpose every day.

Families are welcomed as partners every step of the way, so their loved one always feels safe, valued, and deeply cared for.
