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.
Grandview Healthcare Center is a 72-bed skilled nursing facility at 800 Fifth Street SE in Oelwein, Iowa. Managed by ABCM Corporation and administered by Shelia Lawson, the community provides 24-hour nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care for residents in Fayette County. The campus maintains a tranquil residential setting and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance.
State and federal regulators currently assign the facility a 4-star overall rating, reflecting performance categorized as “Above Average”. Regulatory inspections show a citations-per-inspection rate of 2.0, which is significantly lower than the Iowa state average of 6.1. While an April 2025 standard survey identified four deficiencies related to infection control and pharmacy practices, a subsequent December 2025 follow-up confirmed the facility returned to substantial compliance with zero new citations. No critical or high-harm violations have been issued during the current review cycle.
Professional support is guided by a staffing model that delivers 4 hours 3 minutes of daily nursing time per resident—higher than the Iowa average of 3 hours 48 minutes. Registered Nurse (RN) presence is a notable metric, as the 35 minutes of daily RN time exceeds the state mean. Clinical programs coordinate physical, occupational, and speech therapy alongside specialized ventilator and respiratory care. The facility reports a 31.9% nursing staff turnover rate, which is considerably lower than the Iowa average of 44.4%.
The campus environment features varied room layouts, including private suites and semi-private companion rooms. Residents have access to unique amenities such as raised garden beds, an outdoor walking trail, and a beauty and barber salon. Dining options include restaurant-style service and 24-hour snack availability, while social programs provide spiritual services and community outings. For medical appointments, the facility provides dedicated transportation to nearby MercyOne Oelwein Medical Center.
Interested individuals should evaluate the current bedside care standards and clinical coverage during a facility tour. It is advisable to ask the administrator for specific details on the corrective actions regarding the 2025 infection control findings and to confirm that current staffing levels meet the resident’s individual recovery or long-term care goals.
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.

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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 35% 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.
| 35m per day | ▲ 3% 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.
| 3h 0m per day | ▲ 18% 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 26m 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 | ▼ 49% 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.
| 20m per day | ▼ 33% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
