Health inspections

Federal rules call for a standard inspection at least every 15 months, plus a visit whenever a complaint is filed. Each mark below is one citation, colored by how serious inspectors rated it. How to read a citation.

Under each citation, the quoted text is the inspector's own summary from the federal statement of deficiencies (CMS form 2567), word for word apart from a privacy scrub; CMS removes residents' and staff names before it publishes the text. The full notes are on Medicare.gov.

Fines and payment denials

CMS lists no fines or payment denials against this home in the last three years. The national average is 0.9 fines per home.

Staffing

Hours of care per resident per day, from the payroll records every home sends CMS. Higher means more staff time with each resident.

Measure	This home	Iowa	United States
All nursing staff (RN, LPN and aides)	3.42	3.82	3.86
Registered nurses	0.48	0.74	0.69
All nursing staff on weekends	3.13	3.37	3.42
Nurse aides	2.38
Licensed practical nurses	0.57
Nursing staff turnover (share who left in a year)	40.3%	44.0%	45.8%
Registered nurse turnover	37.5%	42.1%	42.9%
Administrators who left	2

CMS expects 3.44 hours a day for residents as sick as this home's (its case-mix figure). The staffing star compares the two.

Staffing by quarter, from daily payroll records

Every nursing home sends CMS its staff hours for each day (the Payroll Based Journal). Here they are added up by quarter. The latest quarter is the one behind the figures above. In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 3.54 on weekdays and 3.13 on weekends, 12% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 3.5% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 3.30 in April to June 2025 to 3.42 in January to March 2026.

Quarter	All nursing staff	Registered nurses	Weekdays	Weekends	Contract staff share	Days with no RN hours	Residents a day
Jan to Mar 2026	3.42	0.48	3.54	3.13	3.5%	0 of 90	64

Iowa, Jan to Mar 2026	3.80	0.71	3.98	3.36	4.7%	0.3% of days

Hours per resident per day: staff hours in the quarter divided by resident days (the daily census CMS derives from resident assessments). Registered nurses include the director of nursing and RNs with administrative duties; aides include nurse aides in training and medication aides, as in CMS's own staffing measure. How these are calculated.
