While its overall rating was not elite, we awarded Marion an A for our inspections rating. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Marion's next best category is long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B- in this area. In our final two categories, this place earned grades of C and D for our short-term care and nursing areas respectively. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a nursing grade this poor may be a bad sign for nursing staffing levels.
