Regency Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center
Regency Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center of Jefferson is a 46-bed skilled nursing facility at 100 Ram Drive in Jefferson, Iowa. Administered by Jana Cates, the community provides specialized clinical support including tracheotomy care, IV therapy, and wound management, a broad service range for a rural facility of its size. It is centrally located with a Walk Score of 75 and maintains a high occupancy rate of 93%, significantly above the Iowa average of 75.4%.
The facility is CMS-certified and holds a 3-star overall rating, reflecting “Average” performance as of early 2026. While quality measures are rated at a high 5 stars, the staffing component carries a 1-star rating, indicating performance “Much Below Average”. Between 2020 and 2025, state inspections yielded 30 total deficiencies, resulting in an average of 1.4 per inspection—22% below the Iowa state average. The most recent survey on December 31, 2025, identified 5 deficiencies across food sanitation, oxygen care, and infection prevention.
Staffing levels are currently below state averages across most categories. 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.
The campus offers a residential atmosphere with 24/7 licensed nursing and individualized care plans.
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. It is advisable to ask the administrator for specific details on current narcotic storage protocols following 2024 discrepancies and to confirm that the food safety and infection control measures cited in the December 2025 survey have been fully corrected.
