DIVERSICARE OF MARION

Diversicare of Marion earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That composite rating pulls together three separate categories, and the facility scores well in two of them. The health inspection rating of 4 stars means state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most nursing homes, which is a good sign that the facility is being run safely and responsibly. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, meaning residents here are doing well across 15 clinical health markers like wound care, fall-related injuries, and medication management. That's a strong indicator of day-to-day care quality. The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which received 2 stars, meaning nurse hours per resident are below average compared to other facilities. This doesn't mean residents aren't being cared for, but it does suggest the nursing staff may be stretched thinner than ideal. If your loved one has complex medical needs or requires frequent attention, it's worth asking the facility directly about their staffing levels and how they handle busier times. The excellent quality outcomes suggest the team is managing well overall, but staffing is always worth a conversation before making a final decision.
