This home is ranked 100th out of 224 homes in Iowa.| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 40m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 43m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 36m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 22m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 26m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

Ways to qualify for care at this community, including accepted programs.
This facility is certified for eligible Medicaid services.
In Iowa, the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing conducts unannounced health and safety surveys to monitor compliance and protect residents in long-term care settings.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Iowa average: 17 visits/inspections
Iowa average: 0 inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Iowa average: 27 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on May 1, 2025 found the facility in compliance with all applicable long-term care requirements and no deficiencies were noted. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some deficiencies related to medication management, infection control, and physician order monitoring, including a substantiated complaint in October 2024 involving delayed INR testing for a resident on anticoagulant therapy. Prior reports also cited issues with medication administration practices, notification of resident condition changes, and securing medication carts, as well as a substantiated complaint in April 2024 for failure to ensure prescription medication availability after discharge. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the noted cases involving medication monitoring and discharge medication availability. The trend suggests improvement over time, with the most recent inspection showing no deficiencies following previous corrective actions.
