Overview of Sheffield Care Center

Sheffield Care Center is a 45-bed nonprofit skilled nursing facility in Sheffield, Iowa, providing intermediate care, skilled nursing, and outpatient therapy services. The facility is owned by Bonnie Hubka and serves Franklin County. The center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, with Medicare accounting for roughly half of new admissions.

CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, driven by a strong Health Inspection sub-rating that runs 35.6% above the Iowa average. Staffing is the counterweight: a 2-star staffing rating reflects total nursing coverage of 4 hours and 31 minutes per resident per day — near the Iowa average — but RN staffing averages just 26 minutes per day, 41% below the state mean. Certified nurse aide coverage is the bright spot, running 16% above Iowa averages and providing much of the facility’s direct daily care coverage.

Across 15 inspections since 2020, the facility recorded 35 deficiencies — about 30% above the Iowa average of 27. The most recent standard inspection, in August 2025, cited nine deficiencies across care planning, fall prevention, infection control, RN coverage, and abuse-prevention training. A follow-up visit in November 2025 found zero deficiencies and resulted in certification of compliance.

Six civil money penalties, all issued in 2023, totaled roughly $26,000 — 45% below the Iowa average for penalized facilities; no fines have been issued since. One substantiated complaint involving incomplete assessments of outpatient dialysis was addressed. No Immediate Jeopardy findings or license actions appear in the record.

Short-stay rehabilitation outcomes are a clear strength: re-hospitalization rates are 64% below the Iowa average, and emergency department visits are 69% below — both meaningful for post-acute patients and their families. The facility’s occupancy at 82% exceeds the Iowa average of 75%, signaling steady local demand.

Services available are Meals-on-Wheels, and restorative services extend the facility’s reach beyond its walls.

Sheffield Care Center is best studied for residents seeking short-term Medicare rehabilitation and transitional post-acute care in rural Franklin County, with capacity for longer private-pay stays in a small, community-operated setting.

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. 30m per day ▼ 31% 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. 23m per day ▼ 31% 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 52m per day ▲ 13% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

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. 26m per day ▼ 14% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
