This home is ranked 141st out of 240 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.
| 54m per day | ▲ 23% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 47% 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 8m per day | ▼ 16% 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 2m per day | ▼ 10% 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 50% 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.
| 37m per day | ▲ 23% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
56% of new residents, usually for short-term rehab.
36% of new residents, often for short stays.
8% of new residents, often for long-term daily care.

Rank #199 / 241Payroll — state benchmarkedThis home is ranked 199th out of 241 homes in Iowa.Shows total annual staff payroll benchmarked to the Iowa average. Higher payroll investment relative to peers often signals better staffing and less reliance on cheaper contract labor.

In Iowa, the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing conducts unannounced health and safety surveys to monitor compliance and protect residents in long-term care settings.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Iowa average: 17 visits/inspections
Iowa average: 0 inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Iowa average: 27 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on October 22, 2025, identified a deficiency related to inadequate nursing supervision that allowed a resident with severe memory impairment to exit the building unsupervised. Earlier inspections showed a mix of deficiencies including issues with abuse prevention, food service and sanitation, infection control, care planning, and documentation. Complaint investigations included substantiated findings of resident abuse and supervision failures, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring challenges in resident supervision and abuse prevention, with some improvement in food service and infection control noted in interim periods.
