The Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown runs 702 certified beds as a state government operation, and the numbers behind its record are unusually steady. Nurse staffing sits at 4.74 hours per resident day, about 23 percent above the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips only about 14 percent below its own weekday level, a gap that's common but worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.

Bethel Health Care Center runs on 4.91 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly a quarter more staffing than the typical American nursing home.

The inspection record is clean where it counts: five deficiencies total, none involving harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, with the most recent survey in December 2024. Three straight five-star ratings across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, run by a nonprofit corporation, describe a home that is well-staffed, stable, and currently in good standing.

Ingleside At King Farm runs on a rare amount of nursing attention: 5.28 hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national figure, and it holds that level fairly steady through the weekend. Staff turnover is the striking number, under 15% a year against a national average near 46%, which matters because familiar caregivers tend to notice changes sooner. The non-profit owner has kept a clean harm record: 19 deficiencies on file, none at the level of harm or jeopardy, though two are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. The last inspection was in March 2026, so the picture is current.

Mary's Meadow runs on 5.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average, and its staff tends to stay, turnover of 27.1% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your visits land on Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 10 deficiencies with none at the harm level and none tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit was in August 2025. As a church-affiliated nonprofit with 40 beds, it answers to a mission rather than shareholders, and the numbers above suggest that shows up in how it's run.

Tuscola County Medical Care Facility runs on a county government budget out of Caro, and the staffing numbers show it: 5.95 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 54% above the national average of 3.86. Turnover sits at 24.5% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses tend to stay. Weekends run about 14% leaner than weekdays, which is worth asking about if your relative needs help at predictable times. The tradeoff is inspections, 23 deficiencies on the current record, one at harm or jeopardy level, though none abuse-related, and the most recent survey was December 2025. Quality and staffing measures both score well; the health inspection side is the softer spot.

Nurse staffing here runs about 5.06 hours per resident day, roughly 31% above the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip only about 10% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 23.8% against a national average near 46%, which matters over time because familiar caregivers tend to notice changes sooner. The tradeoff is in the inspection record: 8 deficiencies, 3 of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025. County-owned facilities often run leaner on frills and steadier on staffing, and the numbers here follow that pattern.

Nurse staffing at Holland Home Breton runs about 33% above the national average, and the weekend drop is only around 6%, small enough that care doesn't change much on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28.1% against a national 45.8%, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice small changes sooner. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm level and none related to abuse; the last state visit was in March 2025, so the picture is recent rather than stale. Three straight five-star ratings from CMS, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, back that up. As a nonprofit, this is a home that has kept its numbers steady across every category the federal government tracks.

Nurse staffing sits at 9.19 hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage only slips about 7% below weekday levels, so care doesn't thin out when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 30%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay.

Trinity Care Center in Farmington runs on a nonprofit model, and its staffing reflects that: 5.11 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third more than the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage slips about 11% below its own weekday level, which is common but worth asking about if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. Turnover sits at 19.8% against a national average near 46%, that stability matters, because familiar staff notice changes in residents. The inspection record isn't spotless: 14 deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none related to abuse, and the most recent inspection was April 30, 2026. The quality and staffing measures both score at the top of CMS's scale, which is where much of the strength here comes from.

River Landing at Sandy Ridge runs about 5.52 nurse hours per resident each day, roughly 43% above what nursing homes nationally average. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing, so coverage isn't perfectly flat, but the baseline is high enough that the drop doesn't erase the advantage.

The inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in January 2026. Under nonprofit ownership, that combination, strong hours, stable staff, no harm-level findings, is doing the work here.
