Inspection Report Summary for Marian Home

Earlier inspections generally showed compliance with federal requirements, though the facility had some deficiencies in May 2024 related to preventing a resident fall that caused injury. Prior reports from 2020 and 2022 noted issues mainly with care planning, medication safety, infection control, and environmental safety, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated facility-reported incident in 2024 that led to staff education.
