CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.

Westview of Indianola Care Center is an 83-bed VA-approved facility that provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, hospice, and respite care. The property registers a 105-day average length of stay and functions at a 66% occupancy rate, with daily resident funding coming from Medicaid (54%), private-pay (37%), and Medicare (9%). Financial reports show a substantial commercial turnaround, moving from a loss in 2023 to a $1.4 million net profit with a 16.2% margin in 2024. Management budgets 52% of general revenue for the employee payroll within a highly walkable town setting.
Deep staffing hours and solid long-term clinical metrics stand out in state health logs, though short-term recovery charts display a few specific discharge gaps. On average, the staff delivers 4 hours and 25 minutes of direct care per resident each day, with front-line aide hours running 11% ahead of the standard Iowa baseline. This consistent daily presence matches high-performing permanent resident charts, which show zero cases of documented depression alongside low hospitalization frequencies and below-average rates for weight loss and pressure ulcers.
The facility also holds a clean regulatory record with zero federal fines or financial penalties over the past three years. However, the short-stay rehabilitation files show some room for improvement; post-acute self-care independence marks trail state standards, and short-term flu vaccination rates drop off sharply, even though the building logs zero serious rehab falls.
Families looking into area senior placements or VA-contracted care can use these public health logs to evaluate how the building functions day to day. The state’s documentation describes a quiet, stable facility backed by heavy daily caregiver hours and excellent preventative care for its permanent residents, balanced against lower short-term therapy independence scores.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | 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.
|
32m per day | ▼ 27% 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.
|
28m per day | ▼ 18% 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 49m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 42m 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 |
|
Weekend RN
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.
|
17m per day | ▼ 43% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
