Overview of Clarence Nursing Home

Clarence Nursing Home is a 46-bed non-profit facility located on Second Avenue in Clarence, Iowa, approximately 40 miles east of Davenport. Affiliated with a local church community, this home has provided a mix of short-term post-hospital rehabilitation and long-term residential care since 1968. The neighborhood has a walk score of 26, meaning the immediate area is largely car-dependent, and families will need a vehicle to manage visits and errands outside the grounds.

The facility maintains a steady 97.4 percent occupancy rate, with an average resident stay of about 292 days. To ensure consistent medical oversight and assistance with daily activities, the clinical team delivers an average of four hours and two minutes of direct care per resident each day. This hands-on coverage is distributed across a 24-hour rotation of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides. From a regulatory perspective, federal records show the home has a clean administrative history over the past three years, with zero financial penalties or payment denials issued during this window.

The Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing monitors the facility through unannounced site visits to audit clinical charting, environmental safety, and overall operations.

Interested individuals can contact the administrative office to inquire about current bed availability or to discuss the clinical intake process. The business team can explain how they coordinate billing across Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay options, and they can schedule a time for an in-person tour of the therapy areas and residential wings.
