Overview of Colonial Oaks Health Care Center

Operated by Riverview Hospital under Christian Livingston’s administration, Colonial Oaks Health Care Center is a nursing home in Marion, Indiana. Serving residents for 47 years, the medium-sized, 127-bed community is currently at 80 percent occupancy. It accepts Medicare and private pay to give families flexibility in coverage options for short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.

The center focuses on rehabilitation services, making it a practical choice for residents recovering from an acute hospital stay or surgery. The average stay duration is around 145 days, indicating a blend of post-acute rehab patients and those transitioning to ongoing nursing care. Daily staffing totals roughly 3 hours 22 minutes of nursing care per resident, with time split across registered nurses, nurse aides, and LPN/LVN support, providing consistent hands-on assistance all day. Marion is a car-dependent community, so residents and visiting families need vehicle access to handle errands and appointments in the surrounding area.

Inspections have shown recurring attention to Life Safety Code compliance, specifically around fire safety infrastructure and electrical system management. Colonial Oaks Health Care Center’s approach to addressing such areas can be a vital topic to explore when touring.

The facility spotlights rehabilitation services, so it’s a humble choice for occupants convalescing from surgery or an acute hospital stay.

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +17% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	19m per day	▼ 54% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	54m per day	▲ 17% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 17m per day	■ Avg State avg: 2h 16m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	2h 59m per day	▼ 8% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	4m per day	■ Avg State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	16m per day	▼ 42% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day
