ST LUKE LIVING CENTER

535 SOUTH FREEBORN, MARION, KS 66861

ST LUKE LIVING CENTER seems like a pretty good bet, generally speaking, but there's a slight nuance to unpack. On the upside, you're looking at a place where the health inspections are consistently strong, meaning the place is likely clean and up to snuff, and the staffing levels are above average, which translates to someone actually being there when you press that call button, even in the middle of the night.
