Overview of Sunrise Hill Care Center

Sunrise Hill Care Center is a 76-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation community in Traer, Iowa, privately owned and administered by Daniel Larmore. The facility offers nursing care, memory care, assisted living, independent living, and short-term rehabilitation, serving residents across Tama County.

CMS awards Sunrise Hill a 5-star overall rating — 54% above the Iowa average — driven by strong health inspection and quality-measure scores. Across 18 inspections since 2011, the facility recorded 11 total deficiencies, 59% below the Iowa statewide average of 27.

That record carries a caveat: three substantiated complaint investigations between 2023 and 2024 involved supervision failures that led to resident falls resulting in fractures, and a separate July 2024 complaint substantiated allegations of verbal and physical mistreatment of a resident by a CNA who subsequently resigned. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions appear in the available reports. The most recent annual survey, completed December 4, 2025, yielded a single administrative deficiency — a missed background check window — with no resident-care deficiencies identified.

Sunrise Hill provides 24-hour staffing and on-site rehabilitation services, including contracted physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Memory care is available on-site. Total nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 25 minutes per resident per day, in line with Iowa averages, though registered nurse staffing is below the state benchmark — a consideration for residents requiring higher-acuity clinical oversight.

The facility’s average length of stay is 165 days. Its current occupancy rate is 70%, below the Iowa average of 75.4%, suggesting availability for new admissions. Sunrise Hill accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Sunrise Hill Care Center is best suited for residents seeking post-acute rehabilitation or long-term nursing care in a smaller rural setting and is structured to support memory care needs alongside general skilled nursing.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +19% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 22m per day ▼ 50% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 41m per day ▲ 19% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 24m per day ▼ 5% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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 5m per day ▼ 8% State avg: 3h 21m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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. 1m per day ▼ 58% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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. 16m per day ▼ 48% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
