Families should know this city's options generally fall below average nationally.

Staffing levels are low: residents get an average of 3.3 nursing hours daily, with only 0.5 from registered nurses. Annual nursing staff turnover hits 41%, meaning frequent staff changes. Occupancy is high at 86% of licensed beds, which may impact available space. These numbers suggest limited direct care and potential instability in daily routines.

Marion County has one hospital with an emergency department (Marion General Hospital). Statewide, shared-room nursing home costs average $73,000 yearly, not specific to Marion. Given the weak local ratings, families might find better options by looking at neighboring towns. Always check current Medicare ratings before deciding.
