This home is ranked 49th out of 240 homes in Iowa.| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 21m per day | ▼ 52% 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.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 79% 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 58m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 43m per day | ▲ 11% 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 | ▼ 50% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 16m per day | ▼ 47% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

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 January 6, 2026, found the facility in substantial compliance with no specific deficiencies detailed. Prior inspections showed multiple deficiencies related mainly to food safety and temperature control, infection prevention and control, wound care management, and quality assurance program implementation. Complaint investigations over time included several substantiated cases involving inadequate catheter care, failure to monitor anticoagulant medication properly, and issues with reporting and investigating abuse allegations. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows some recurring themes in care and safety issues, but recent inspections indicate efforts toward correction and compliance.
