Legacy Marion

Legacy Marion sits about a mile and a half from Marion General Hospital, over on Barks Road West, and you'll find it open for all kinds of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even services like adult day care, hospice, home health care, and non-medical home care that covers daily needs. Legacy Marion's got 135 certified beds, and usually about 102 residents stay there each day. They run as a for-profit corporation tied to Legacy Health Services and accept both Medicare and Medicaid. The facility takes fire safety seriously, using automatic sprinklers where needed, and keeps up with health, fire, and infection controls, although the most recent standard inspection happened over two years ago, which is longer than suggested, with some noted deficiencies, including issues with infection control and food handling. Resident and family councils let both groups share their thoughts and get involved in care planning and daily life. Licensed nurses, such as RNs and LPNs, provide about 2.92 hours of nurse care per resident each day, which is below the state average, but their nurse turnover rate is a bit lower than the state norm, sitting at 41 percent. The staff manages pressure ulcer care, infection prevention, and makes sure feeding tubes are used only when needed and with consent. They put together care plans within a week of assessment and review these with health professionals, keeping residents' wishes in mind for daily activities. The site's not inside a hospital, but the clinical and therapy teams focus on helping folks recover safely after hospital stays, which makes it easier for residents and families during tough transitions. Legacy Marion's got facilities for specialized care and memory support and offers nutrition oversight from dietitians and physicians; some deficiency reports found problems with how food is handled, which is something the place works on as part of compliance. Along with private and shared resident spaces, the place has different programs and options for those who need more help, those who want independence but might need a hand, or those who need ongoing care because of memory loss or complex illness. Legacy Marion aims to create a comfortable spot for both short-term recovery and long-term living, offering a broad mix of care levels and support for residents and their families.
