Overview of Hawkeye Care Center Dubuque

Hawkeye Care Center Dubuque manages an 80-bed medical campus on Pennsylvania Avenue under the guidance of administrator Tracey Long. The community runs with a stable occupancy rate near 89 percent, balancing public program coverage via Medicare and Medicaid with traditional private accounts. Admissions track to an average length of stay around 87 days, reflecting a fluid daily mix of transitional, post-hospital physical therapy patients and individuals requiring ongoing nursing supervision.

Clinical floor procedures provide an average of 4 hours and 18 minutes of daily direct care per resident. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing aides manage this 24-hour medical schedule to administer on-site speech, occupational, and physical therapies alongside specialized respite and palliative care treatments. For daily programming, the building contains a dedicated therapy gym, a courtyard, and a customized dining system, while the surrounding neighborhood records a walkability score of 52 out of 100, which means visiting guests can manage a handful of regional errands on foot.

Recent health assessments from state oversight entities focused on internal compliance patterns, highlighting quality reviews of standard infection prevention techniques and clinical care chart updates. Administrative coordinators use these regular health survey documents to update floor protocols and align continuing staff training logs with current safety regulations.

Prospective residents can connect with the admissions department to check on immediate room availability, look over the current therapy schedules, or arrange a time to visit the common areas.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 1h 5m per day ▲ 49% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 20m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info 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. 54m per day ▲ 80% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
