MILLER'S MERRY MANOR
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Miller's Merry Manor has a Trust Grade of B, indicating it is a good choice for care, suggesting solid quality but with some room for improvement. It ranks #166 out of 505 facilities in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and #2 out of 4 in Marshall County, meaning only one local option is better. The facility is improving, with issues decreasing from eight in 2024 to just one in 2025, which is a positive trend. Staffing is average, rated at 3 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 52%, slightly higher than the state average, indicating some instability. Notably, there have been no fines, which is reassuring, and the facility has more RN coverage than 88% of other facilities, helping to ensure better care. However, there are some serious concerns. A serious medication error was noted where a resident did not receive their insulin as required, which could have significant implications for their health. Additionally, there were issues in the kitchen with improperly stored food items and a failure to maintain proper hygiene during a dressing change, raising potential health risks. While there are strengths in RN coverage and no fines, families should be aware of these deficiencies when considering care for their loved ones.
