This home is ranked 178th out of 222 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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 20% 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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 32% 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 |
|
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 14m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 40% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on December 2, 2025 found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in substantial compliance after correcting earlier issues. Prior inspections showed a mixed pattern with some deficiencies related mainly to resident supervision, care planning, and safe transfer practices. Earlier reports also cited problems with medication management, abuse reporting and investigation, and quality assurance, including an immediate jeopardy finding in 2022 related to abuse and staff competencies. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, but some complaints were substantiated, particularly those involving falls, supervision, and documentation.
