Registered Nurse (RN) hours are 40 minutes per resident day, and nurse aide hours are 2 hours 15 minutes, both falling slightly below Iowa means. Quality metrics show that 90.9% of short-stay residents experience significant functional improvement, which is notably higher than the state average of 73.3%. However, the 50% staff turnover rate and low staffing star rating suggest a need for continued focus on personnel stability.

Shared amenities and features include an on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy, nutritious meals with dietary manager oversight, pet-friendly policies and housekeeping services, and scheduled transportation for medical and social needs.
Individuals should evaluate the current bedside care standards during an on-site visit.
