Overview of Centerville Specialty Care

Centerville Specialty Care operates a 46-bed skilled nursing property at 1208 East Cross Street in Centerville, Iowa. Part of the regional nonprofit Care Initiatives network, the building retains a stable occupancy level around 83 percent. Account managers process residential balances through individual out-of-pocket payment pathways, federal Medicare allocations, or traditional state Medicaid options. Individual stays average roughly 184 days, creating a daily campus mix that accommodates short-term post-hospital therapy alongside conventional long-term skilled nursing oversight.

For everyday support, the facility provides an average of 3 hours and 57 minutes of direct, hands-on nursing attention per resident each day. This round-the-clock shift schedule splits time among certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, and registered nurses who manage medication logs, wound care, and physical therapy recovery lines. Outside the property walls, the surrounding Centerville neighborhood holds a walkability score of 66 out of 100, which means visiting family members can easily step out and complete several basic errands on foot.

Recent evaluation surveys confirmed that the building operates in substantial compliance with public health rules, logging minimal procedural deficiencies. The building’s administrative staff analyzes these regular health reports to guide internal policy updates, refine safety practices, and direct continuous skill training for the clinical shifts.

Prospective residents can call the admissions department to ask about immediate room layouts, look over available physical therapy options, or schedule a day to see the property. The business desk can also cross-reference active health insurance plans to show how private assets, state programs, or federal benefits apply to standard monthly statements.

vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +56% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	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.	32m per day	▼ 28% 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.	53m per day	▲ 56% 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.	1h 53m per day	▼ 26% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing 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.	2h 45m per day	▼ 18% 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	▼ 64% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	31m per day	▲ 3% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
