Marion Regional runs a tight ship on staffing. At 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% above the national average, and a 20.6% turnover rate is less than half the national figure of 45.8%, that kind of stability usually means residents see the same faces. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits then.
The tradeoff shows up in inspections: 13 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related, and a 2-star health inspection rating from CMS. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was February 2025, so the record is current. A nonprofit operator with strong staffing and a recent, mostly low-level survey history.

Sunset Manor runs on more nurse hours than most homes in the country, 4.21 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and the federal staffing rating reflects that at 5 stars. The trade-off shows up elsewhere: nine deficiencies on the current record, none rising to actual harm or jeopardy, and a quality measure rating of 2 out of 5. Staff turnover sits at 36.5%, better than the 45.8% national figure, though weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below what the building manages Monday through Friday. The last full inspection was July 2023, so that record is getting stale. Corporate-owned and Medicare-certified at 71 beds.

Diversicare of Winfield runs 123 beds under corporate ownership, and its strongest suit is inspections, a 4-out-of-5 star record with just three deficiencies on file and none rising to harm or jeopardy. The catch is staffing: 3.07 nurse hours per resident day sits about 21% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 41.8% is modestly better than the 45.8% national figure, which helps continuity. One abuse-related deficiency is on the record, and the last inspection dates to June 2021, so that clean-looking file is several years old.
