Overview of Summit Pointe Senior Living

Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn

Summit Pointe Senior Living is a 178-bed assisted living facility at 3505 English Glen Avenue in Marion, Iowa. Administered by Melinda Haley, the community serves Linn County under license S0398, which is valid through December 4, 2026. Current data shows a 52% occupancy rate with 93 residents, reflecting growth from previous years despite remaining below the Iowa state average of 75.4%. The location is highly accessible with a Walk Score of 89, allowing most errands to be completed on foot.

Since 2019, the facility has recorded eight total deficiencies across seven inspections, averaging 1.1 annually, a rate 72% below the state average. While the July 2020 infection control survey and November 2021 recertification both resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, more recent investigations have identified recurring gaps. A June 2025 complaint investigation substantiated a deficiency regarding incomplete food temperature monitoring, affecting the entire resident population.

Clinical care is provided at this seven-year-old campus through a 24-hour staffing model that includes licensed nurses and CNAs. A January 2024 recertification identified three deficiencies involving improper medication administration and failures to update service plans for both current and discharged residents. Furthermore, an August 2024 investigation cited staff for failing to follow training protocols, specifically regarding improper gait belt use during resident ambulation. The community offers a continuum of care including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services.

The residential environment features diverse amenities such as fitness centers, outdoor spaces, and organized entertainment. While the facility has demonstrated an upward occupancy trend, historical records highlight persistent documentation issues, including incomplete nurse reviews and non-individualized service plans that failed to address specific pain management or oxygen care needs. Currently, the facility has no documented history of fines, license suspensions, or formal enforcement actions.

Prospective representatives should evaluate the facility’s recent increase in complaint-driven inspections alongside its favorable overall deficiency metrics. It is recommended to verify current staff training execution and to confirm that food safety temperature logs are being maintained according to state policy. Families may contact the administrative office to discuss corrective actions related to medication oversight and to ensure the community’s operational protocols meet their 2026 care expectations.
