Sen. Young Visits Marion V-A Nursing Home

U-S Senator Todd Young came to Marion Thursday afternoon to try and get answers for himself about why the nursing home at the Marion V-A is getting such poor ratings.

A report released late last month said the Marion facility was among many V-A nursing homes that were receiving low and failing grades for care.  It also cited the high rate of prescription drug orders that come out of the facility from doctors.

Young said he was told that the rating system is skewed again such facilities, because they take in many patients that commercial nursing homes refuse because of their mental capabilities and other problems.

Senator Young says he plans to keep a close watch on the Marion V-A Nursing home and others in the V-A system in the future to make sure patients are receiving proper care.
