Marian Home provides independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing in Fort Dodge, IA. Independent living offers a private living arrangement without daily care, while assisted living provides help with everyday tasks. Skilled nursing provides ongoing nursing care for residents with clinical needs, and the combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
Marian Home opened in 1960 and has 90 beds. Independent living, assisted living, and nursing care units are available, along with rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation for residents focused on recovery. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 51 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands on nursing time allocated per resident.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare can help cover short term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may assist when savings do not cover a long stay, and private pay means using personal funds. Tracy Trotter serves as the administrator.
Therapy services, a beauty shop, community living areas, social programs, group activities, transportation for residents, and daily church services are available. A Walk Score of 62 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, so some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain nearby trips independently. These services and care options may suit someone who wants access to therapy, social activities, worship, and support with transportation while living in one community.
