Overview of The Gardens of Cedar Rapids

The Gardens of Cedar Rapids is a one-story building in Cedar Rapids, Iowa with 40 beds, and it covers nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing care together in the same place. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom sizes, and each one has its own climate control. Getting around the neighborhood mostly means driving, since the Walk Score here is just 7 out of 100.

Residents can spend time in the chapel, the library, the beauty salon, or the courtyard, which has paths for walking outside. Meals are served restaurant-style instead of like a cafeteria. A podiatrist and pharmacy services are available right on-site, and staff handle medication management too.

Nurses and nurse aides split up the daily care work. Registered nurses and licensed nurses each play a role, but nurse aides spend the most time directly with residents, about two and a half hours per person every day.

Out of 40 total beds, 35 are currently filled, which works out to 88% occupancy and points to steady interest in the community. The facility takes both Medicare and private pay. Jbrb Investments LLC owns the building, and Chalee Michael serves as the administrator. Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing conducts the state inspections, and past inspections here have mostly looked at medication management, hazardous materials safety, care documentation, and resident rights.

With multiple care types offered in a single location, added clinical services like podiatry and pharmacy support, and shared spaces like the chapel and courtyard, The Gardens of Cedar Rapids offers residents both medical support and a sense of community in one 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. 52m per day ▲ 17% 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. 40m per day ▲ 18% 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.

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. 41m per day ▲ 37% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
