Linn Manor Care Center is a 38-bed nursing home in Marion, Iowa, providing skilled nursing care, including memory care services, within Linn County. The facility is operated by Grand Haven Homes, Inc., a privately owned company, and accepts private pay.
Across inspections over the past 6 years, Linn Manor averaged 6.5 deficiencies per year — roughly 48% above the Iowa average of 4.4. The record includes a 2022 Immediate Jeopardy finding tied to resident sexual abuse, an attempted resident suicide, and inadequate staff competencies for managing residents with mental health and psychosocial needs.
A 2023 annual survey cited seven deficiencies, including failures to report and investigate alleged abuse in a timely manner and a deficient fall-prevention program. A substantiated complaint in October 2025 found the facility failed to prevent multiple falls for one resident — including a hip fracture — and failed to develop adequate care plan interventions for that resident’s PTSD-related behaviors. A follow-up visit in December 2025 found no deficiencies and confirmed that the facility was in substantial compliance. The Inspection Reports subpage carries the full record.
The facility’s staffing averages 3 hours and 39 minutes per resident per day, about 17% below the Iowa average of 4 hours 25 minutes. Long-stay quality measures score above the Iowa average. Its occupancy rate is 92%, well above the state average of 75%, indicating consistent local demand.
Linn Manor Care Center is oriented toward long-stay skilled nursing and memory care in Marion and is well-suited to residents whose care needs align with a small, privately operated nursing home setting. However, families should review the facility’s prior Immediate Jeopardy findings and resident safety history before making a placement decision.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| 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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 44m 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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 34m 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 31m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 32m 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.
| 3h 14m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 3h 21m 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.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2m 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 40% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
