The facility operates 90 certified beds and is classified as a non-profit, church-related organization. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. CMS assigns Marian Home an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 5 out of 5, reflecting performance during state and federal inspection surveys. The staffing rating is also 5 out of 5, indicating nurse and aide staffing levels relative to resident census when compared to national benchmarks. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, which aligns with the national average and reflects clinical outcome indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, pressure ulcers, and other measurable care metrics reported to CMS. Marian Home holds dual certification for Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is able to accept residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing stays following a qualifying hospital admission, while Medicaid covers longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Residents and families seeking information about coverage specifics should consult directly with the facility's admissions staff or their respective state and federal program representatives. When considered alongside national averages, Marian Home's CMS profile reflects above-average performance in two of the three major rating categories. The health inspection and staffing ratings both exceed the national norm of 3.0 stars, while the quality measure rating is consistent with the national average. The overall 5-star designation is the highest rating assigned by CMS under its Five-Star Quality Rating System, which is designed to help consumers identify and compare nursing homes across the country. This data is sourced from CMS's Nursing Home Compare program and is updated on a regular basis. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review all available data and conduct in-person visits when evaluating any long-term care facility.
