Stonebridge Suites of Milford is a 44-bed assisted living facility at 1401 H Avenue in Milford, Iowa. Administered by Daren Butcher, the community serves Dickinson County under license S0298, which is active through October 9, 2027. The facility reports a current occupancy rate of 57%, with 25 residents, a figure below the Iowa state average of 75.4%. The location holds a Walk Score of 62, indicating a moderately walkable area with some nearby services.
State monitoring through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing reveals a record of exceptional regulatory compliance. Since 2010, the facility has recorded only two total deficiencies across 11 inspections, an annual average of 0.1, which is 94% lower than the state average. The most recent recertification in September 2025 resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This clean record has been sustained for over a decade, with every major inspection since 2013 yielding no regulatory findings.
Daily operations at this 16-year-old campus focus on providing independent and assisted living through personalized care and resident engagement. While the recent history is nearly flawless, state records from 2011 documented a $1,000 civil penalty related to a failure to report suspected dependent adult abuse within the required 24-hour timeframe. A 2015 monitoring visit also identified a single deficiency for a lack of annual food protection training for food service staff, which was subsequently corrected.
The residential environment is managed under the parent organization, Stonebridge Suites of Rock Rapids. The community has successfully resolved historical administrative gaps, and multiple complaint investigations, including reports regarding resident wandering and financial exploitation, were found to be unsubstantiated by state inspectors. Available documentation shows that occupancy has trended upward since 2010, indicating steady community growth over the facility’s 16-year history.
Prospective residents should note the facility’s 93% below-average deficiency rate and its consistent record of perfect inspections since 2017. It is recommended to verify current staffing levels and observe the meal service during a tour to ensure high operational standards remain in effect. Families can contact the administrative office to discuss current availability and to confirm that the community’s safety protocols meet their 2026 residential expectations.
