In line with Iowa average
Cottage Grove Place is administrated by Tyson Branscomb.
In Iowa, the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing conducts unannounced health and safety surveys to monitor compliance and protect residents in long-term care settings.
3 visits/inspections triggered by complaints
Iowa average: 17 visits/inspections
Iowa average: 0 inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Iowa average: 27 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on October 7, 2025, was a complaint investigation in which the facility was found to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern with several deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including issues with nursing staff responsiveness, medication management, nutritional support, and food safety practices. Substantiated complaints involved failures to prevent weight loss, inadequate skin and wound care, and insufficient supervision, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were substantiated, though some were not, and the facility submitted plans of correction following inspections with deficiencies. The trend suggests some improvement in recent months, as the latest investigations found the facility in substantial compliance after prior citations.
