Key Review Excerpts

Our family can’t begin to say enough good about the staff and the care Mom received while she lived there. Trying to find a facility she was deserving of proved to be an arduous process. In the end, we chose Marquette County. It was the best decision we could’ve made for Mom.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

My 92 year old mother was transferred directly from the hospital and was treated very well. JENNY O assisted us and we are very grateful. JENNY O is very compassionate, professional and kind lady.

Long-term resident's family · 2018★★★★★

During this difficult time of placing our family members here, we were treated with respect, compassion, and honesty. That and along with the outstanding care and concern from all staff members in all departments, I would Highly recommend Marquette County Medical Care Facility.

Clean record — no deficiencies

This facility shows a pattern of recurring fire safety and building maintenance issues across all three recent surveys, with deficiencies in smoke barriers, fire alarm systems, and electrical safety appearing repeatedly despite corrections. The facility also had problems with pressure ulcer care, medication management, and care planning that have persisted over time. While all deficiencies show correction dates and no complaints were filed, the recurring nature of safety violations suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining building systems and care standards.
