Marianna Nursing And Care Center

Marianna Nursing And Care Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationally. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, and they tell a more detailed story when you look at them individually. The health inspection rating, also 4 stars, is a strong sign - state inspectors found relatively few or minor concerns during their visits, which suggests the facility is generally well-run and meeting care standards. The quality measures rating sits at 3 stars, meaning resident health outcomes like wound care, fall rates, and medication management are about average for the industry, nothing alarming but room for improvement. The area worth a closer look is staffing, which earned just 2 stars. That rating reflects how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there, and a below-average score can mean nurses and aides are stretched thinner than ideal.

For families, the staffing number is often the most practical one to dig into. Even in a well-inspected facility, lower staffing levels can affect how quickly call lights get answered, how much personal attention residents receive, and how smoothly day-to-day care is delivered. It would be worth asking the facility directly about their current nurse-to-resident ratios and how they handle staffing on nights and weekends. The strong inspection record is genuinely reassuring, but pairing that conversation with a visit during different times of day will give you a clearer picture of what daily life looks like for residents.

Staffing at Marianna Nursing And Care Center is pretty close to the norm when it comes to registered nurses, with residents receiving about 0.51 RN hours per day compared to the Florida average of 0.52 across Florida nursing homes. In practical terms, that small difference is unlikely to be noticeable in day-to-day care. Where this facility actually stands out is in total nursing hours, which include RNs, LPNs, and certified nursing assistants combined. Residents here receive about 4.46 total nurse hours per day, compared to the state average of 3.87. That extra time adds up over the course of a day, and it generally means residents can expect more hands-on attention for things like help with meals, mobility, personal care, and just having someone available when they need something. It is not a dramatic difference, but it is a real one worth noting as your family weighs options.

Marianna Nursing And Care Center has a relatively solid inspection track record, holding a 4 out of 5 star health inspection rating from the government. Just as importantly, the facility has no penalties on record and has never been fined, which is genuinely good news for families doing their homework. A clean penalty history doesn't guarantee a perfect experience, but it does suggest the facility has generally met care standards without running into serious regulatory trouble. That combination of a above-average inspection rating and zero fines puts this facility in a reasonably reassuring position compared to many others.
