Overview of Colonial Manor of Amana

Colonial Manor of Amana provides skilled convalescent services within a 50-bed campus located at 3207 220th Trail in Amana, Iowa. This nursing community functions as a segment of the wider Amana Retirement Community network, offering integrated placement transitions between Lakeview Village Assisted Living, personal independent townhouses, and an adjacent wellness center. Billing operations absorb conventional out-of-pocket transactions alongside the public federal Medicare network and state Medicaid health coverages. The campus maintains a steady operational utilization level near 84 percent, supporting an average length of stay around 96 days for its blended population.

Certified nurse aides cover the highest allocation of this direct care timeline at 2 hours and 31 minutes, working in tandem with registered nurses and licensed practical nurses who provide 39 minutes of treatment support. This medical staff coordinates specialized rehabilitation programs and ongoing clinical care tracks, while the local neighborhood displays a walkability score of 39 out of 100, which requires visitors to plan on using personal vehicles for surrounding regional travel.

Recent oversight audits handled by the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing certified that the building maintains substantial compliance with public health rules, with a historically low volume of overall deficiencies. Administrative leaders monitor these past compliance documents to refine historical care documentation gaps and update resident safety systems across daily clinical shifts.

Prospective residents can get in touch with the administrator, Tanya Powell, to review immediate room openings, ask about the independent campus levels, or schedule a day to look around the facility. The main office staff can also assist with medical intake documentation to explain how active insurance networks, state assistance, or personal funds apply to regular monthly bills.

3 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +15% 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.	31m per day	▼ 29% 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.	39m per day	▲ 15% 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.	2h 31m per day	■ Avg 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.	3h 20m per day	■ Avg 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	▼ 69% 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.	27m per day	▼ 10% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
