Our read on Marian Regional Medical Center D/P Snf

Nurse staffing here runs about 6.18 hours per resident day, roughly 60% above the national average, and the aide and nurse turnover rate of 16% is well under the national figure of about 46%. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The home is church-affiliated and nonprofit, holds a five-star CMS inspection rating, and its last inspection in April 2026 left 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related. Quality measures score four stars. That combination of high staffing, low turnover, and no harm-level findings is what's behind the grade.
