Our read on Southland Nursing Home
Southland Nursing Home in Marion runs a tight ship on care quality, its 5/5 quality measure rating is as good as it gets, and the 4/5 inspection score reflects a record without a single deficiency at the harm or jeopardy level. The seven deficiencies on file are minor, and one fine totaling $5,244 is modest by industry standards. Where it slips is staffing: 3.91 nurse hours per resident day edges the national average by roughly 1%, but weekends run about 10% below its own weekday level, which matters when families visit less. That gap likely explains the middling 3/5 staffing rating. One thing worth asking about: the last inspection was April 2021, so the record is several years old.
