This home is ranked 82nd out of 240 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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 16% 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.
| 17m per day | ▼ 50% 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.
| 3h 3m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 28m per day | ▲ 3% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 50% 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.
| 30m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Residents typically stay for brief periods, with frequent admissions and discharges throughout the year.

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.
3 visits/inspections triggered by complaints
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 December 4, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to notify physicians of significant weight loss and inaccuracies in Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with MDS accuracy, care plan updates, infection control, medication administration, and documentation. Complaint investigations conducted in 2024 and 2025 were all found to be unsubstantiated or resulted in substantial compliance findings. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions listed in the available reports, though a prior inspection in May 2022 did include an immediate jeopardy related to COVID-19 infection control. The facility’s recent acceptance of a plan of correction and lack of deficiencies in the latest plan of correction document suggest some improvement in addressing prior concerns.
