St. Mark Assisted Living Center

Overview of St. Mark Assisted Living Center

St. Mark Assisted Living Center is a 75-bed non-profit community operated by St Mark Village Inc and managed by administrator Rhonda Coates. The facility features independent living, assisted living, and memory care options with 24-hour staffing, licensed nursing, rehabilitation services, and an on-site medical director. Supported by bilingual English and Spanish-speaking staff, residents receive chef-prepared meals and have access to secure courtyards, screened patios, and daily cognitive-focused activities like fitness classes, music, and yoga.

State records across a 10-year period show 24 total deficiencies over 16 separate inspections, averaging 1.2 infractions per year. This overall frequency tracks 74% lower than the state baseline. The facility established a long history of zero citations-per-inspection rate outcomes, maintaining a clean regulatory record for nine consecutive years between 2013 and 2022. However, a December 2023 review noted a shift with eight citations covering staffing standards, training requirements, records documentation, and emergency management. These issues have since been corrected, and the facility’s overall penalty history is limited to a single $1,500 fine with no severe enforcement actions.

Prospective residents checking into regional continuing care options can look to the community’s extensive history of clean reports as an indicator of long-term operational capabilities. Because the late 2023 evaluation highlighted specific gaps in staffing and emergency protocols, it is a good idea to ask management for details on their updated corrective procedures. Spending time at the building to speak with the nursing staff directly can help ensure the daily care setup matches your exact physical and memory support requirements.
