About Nursing Home Care in Marion
When it comes to nursing home care in Marion, IL, families need to be discerning. The standout is PARKWAY MANOR, which boasts a Grade B and a solid 4-star CMS rating. However, with only two facilities in the area, the options are limited, and the overall market is concerning. Families should carefully consider their choices, as the alternatives may not meet their loved ones' needs.
If you're exploring facilities, start by visiting PARKWAY MANOR, known for its clean record with zero fines over the past three years. This facility stands out in an otherwise mediocre landscape. Unfortunately, the other option, INTEGRITY HC OF MARION, has significant issues that make it less desirable. It’s essential to assess the care environment in person, as the market lacks well-staffed facilities and nonprofit options.
Families should avoid INTEGRITY HC OF MARION at all costs due to its troubling Grade F rating, which indicates severe deficiencies in care and management. This facility has a history of abuse citations, making it an unacceptable choice for vulnerable residents. When visiting any nursing home, always ask about staff turnover rates and observe interactions between staff and residents to gauge the quality of care provided.

Marion has 1 non-profit nursing homes and 1 for-profit facility. 2 of 2 facilities are chain-owned, with the remainder independently operated.
Research suggests non-profit facilities often have higher staffing levels and fewer deficiencies on average, though ownership type alone does not guarantee quality. Families should evaluate each facility individually using inspection data, staffing levels, and recent deficiency reports.
