CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
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.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 166th out of 241 homes in Iowa for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| 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 |
