Overview of Brio of Johnston Assisted Living

Facebook X (Twitter) Instagram LinkedIn

Brio of Johnston Assisted Living is a 68-bed nursing home and assisted living community at 6901 Peckham Street in Johnston, Iowa. It opened seven years ago and now operates at 54 percent occupancy. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay give families multiple routes for coverage. The starting monthly price is $2,000.

Short-term rehabilitation is the facility’s core clinical program, anchored by 24-hour staffing totaling 5 hours 18 minutes of nursing care per resident day. Staffing breakdowns include registered nurses providing 58 minutes daily, nurse aides delivering 2 hours 50 minutes, and LPNs or LVNs contributing 48 minutes per day. The average stay length runs 64 days, which reflects the community’s shorter-stay rehabilitation model. Brio of Johnston Assisted Living sits in a car-dependent part of Johnston, so visiting family and residents typically need a vehicle for most errands and outings. It offers a cutting-edge wellness center along with a library, walking trails, and a pet recreation area for those wanting activity and connection. A chapel, salon, general store, and guest room round out the amenities. Occupants can access respite care services, valuable for families needing momentary placement or relief during a care transition.

State inspections have found Brio of Johnston Assisted Living operating with no major compliance issues, with recent inspection activity clearing complaint investigations.

The community’s focus on rehabilitation and respite care naturally fits people healing from an acute hospital stay or injury, or those needing temporary care relief.

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs 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. 58m per day ▲ 31% 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. 48m per day ▲ 41% 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.

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. 42m per day ▲ 40% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day
