Countryside Health Care Center is a 101-bed nursing home on Morningside Ave in Sioux City, Iowa, single-story, private rooms throughout. Walk Score’s a 9, which is about as car-dependent as it gets, so nobody’s strolling to get coffee.

Reliant Rehab therapy plus short-term and long-term skilled nursing, plus respite care for families who need a bridge, not a permanent placement. Average stay clocks in at 81 days, which is short in nursing-home terms, more rehab timeline than settle-in timeline. Occupancy sits at 49.3% right now. Staffing breaks down to 32 minutes of RN time per resident per day, 1 hour 21 minutes of LPN time, and 2 hours 32 minutes from nurse aides, so the bulk of hands-on care comes from that aide layer, with LPNs doing the routine clinical work and RNs stepping in for oversight.

The payer mix backs up the two-track read: 35% of new residents come in on Medicare, and they’re mostly out again within about a month, which is textbook post-acute rehab. Private pay is the biggest group at 56%, staying 6 to 7 months on average, somewhere between short-stay and long-term. Medicaid residents, just 9% of new admissions, stick around 3 to 4 months. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted here, so the coverage door is open regardless of which track a family’s on.

Put it all next to each other and Countryside reads like two overlapping ones sharing a building: a rehab stopover for people recovering from something acute, and a slower-paced nursing option for people whose stay is going to run longer. Which one fits depends entirely on why someone’s walking through the door in the first place.
