Accura Healthcare of New Hampton runs on 6.02 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 56% above the national average, and its staff turnover sits at 21.4%, less than half the national rate. That stability matters more than any single inspection finding, since consistent caregivers tend to notice changes in a resident's condition sooner. The trade-off is a three-out-of-five on health inspections, with 18 deficiencies on record, including one abuse-related citation, though none rose to the level of actual harm or jeopardy. The most recent inspection was July 31, 2025, so the picture is current. For-profit corporate ownership, 52 beds, and weekend staffing that dips about 5% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays.

Sunrise Terrace runs a tight ship on paper, and the numbers hold up. Staffing sits at 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only slightly below weekdays, a modest gap that suggests the schedule doesn't fall apart on Saturdays. The standout is turnover: 12.1% against a national average near 46%, which means the people caring for your family member are more likely to still be there next year. One deficiency on the current record, none involving harm or abuse, and the most recent inspection was in July 2025. A for-profit corporation owns it, so watch the margins, but the state survey results are recent and clean.

Terrace Glen Village runs 4.23 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 10% above the national average, but weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, worth asking how that gap gets covered. Staff turnover sits at 32.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. Inspections in November 2025 turned up 10 deficiencies, 3 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, though none abuse-related, and the 4/5 health inspection rating reflects that mixed record. Quality and staffing measures both came back 5/5. Corporate for-profit ownership of a 40-bed home means fewer layers between decisions and residents.

Accura Healthcare Of Le Mars runs a 46-bed for-profit home in Plymouth County, and the staffing numbers are its strongest card. At 4.51 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 17% above the national average, and weekend coverage dips only about 9% below its own weekday level, modest by industry standards. Turnover is 26.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The caution is on the inspection side: 17 deficiencies on the current record, including 2 at the harm level and 1 abuse-related. That's a meaningful count for a home this size. Staffing is clearly doing the heavy lifting here.

Clarence Nursing Home runs 46 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its recent inspection history is genuinely clean, a July 2025 survey with seven deficiencies on record, none of them rising to harm or jeopardy. The two abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly, since those tend to describe how the home handles incidents rather than the incidents themselves. Staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage isn't perfectly even. What offsets that is retention: 30% turnover against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay.

Lone Tree Health Care Center runs 4.45 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 32.4% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits Saturdays or Sundays. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at the harm level, though one is abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was November 2025. This is a small for-profit home, 44 beds, in Johnson County.

Walnut Ridge runs on unusually generous staffing for a 60-bed for-profit home, 4.89 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and that's the main reason it holds up well under scrutiny. Weekend coverage dips about 8% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. Turnover sits at 24.4%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people stay. The tradeoff is a longer deficiency record: 13 citations on file, including one tied to abuse, though none rose to actual harm or jeopardy. A July 2025 inspection means the state looked recently.

Prairie Vista Village runs on 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, and its weekend staffing holds about 16% below its own weekday level, a dip worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for whether your parent sees the same faces month to month. Five deficiencies on the current record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in May 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 46 beds, small enough that you can reasonably expect the administrator to know your mother's name.

Chautauqua Guest Home #3 in Charles City runs a tight ship. Staffing sits at 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, just above the national average, and the weekend dip is modest at around 8 percent, not the steep drop-off you see at some homes. What stands out most is the 23.8 percent turnover rate, roughly half the national figure, which suggests people actually stay. The inspection record backs that up: six deficiencies on file, none causing harm, none tied to abuse, and the most recent state visit came in July 2025. For-profit corporate ownership, 57 beds, and quality measures scoring well enough to keep this one worth a look.

Valley Vue Care Center runs 40 certified beds in Armstrong under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.86 hours per resident day, essentially right at the national average, not above it, and weekends run about 11% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 35% beats the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers here tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. Inspections produced 11 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was March 12, 2026, so the record is current. CMS gives it 4 stars for health inspections, 4 for quality measures, and 5 for staffing.

West Ridge Care Center runs 60 beds in Cedar Rapids under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, though weekends dip about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 33.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated January 29, 2026. For a for-profit home, that combination of low turnover, above-average staffing, and a nearly clean survey history is not typical.

Edgewood Convalescent Home holds 56 certified beds in Clayton County and is run by a for-profit corporation. Its recent inspection history is clean: three deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with a survey completed in September 2025. Staff turnover sits at 29.4 percent, comfortably under the national 45.8 percent, which suggests people tend to stay. The trade-off is raw staffing volume, 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 17 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. Those weekend gaps are worth asking about directly.

Chautauqua Guest Home #2 runs a 53-bed operation in Charles City, and the staffing numbers are the strongest part of its case. At 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 4% above the national average, and the weekend dip of roughly 10% below its own weekday level is modest, worth knowing, but not alarming. Turnover lands at 41.3%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests the crew sticks around better than most. Two deficiencies on record, one serious enough to involve actual harm, is the item that deserves a direct question when you visit. The most recent inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current.

Kanawha Community Home runs a tight ship for a 26-bed for-profit in Hancock County. Nurse staffing sits at 4.52 hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent above the national average, and the health inspection record is clean where it counts: three deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse, with the last inspection in September 2025. Staff turnover lands at 38.5 percent against a national average near 46, which for this industry is stability, not churn. The one soft spot is weekends, when coverage dips about 8 percent below the home's own weekday levels. A small building with low turnover and steady weekday staffing can absorb that; families should still ask who's on duty Saturday and Sunday.

Community Care Center in Stuart runs a tight ship on staff retention, 20.4% turnover is less than half the national average of 45.8%, which means the people caring for residents tend to stick around. That stability shows up in the quality and staffing star ratings, both 5 out of 5. The tradeoff is that daily nurse staffing sits at 3.48 hours per resident, about 10% under the national figure, and weekends dip roughly 10% below what the home itself provides on weekdays. Twelve deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level, though three are abuse-related. The last inspection was December 2025, so the picture is recent.

The Gardens of Cedar Rapids runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.16 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average of 3.86. That staffing edge is the strongest thing the home has going for it, though weekend coverage dips about 12% below its own weekday level, so care can thin out when families visit. Turnover lands at 40.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The harder reading comes from inspections: 17 deficiencies on record, 3 at harm or jeopardy level and 5 tied to abuse, with one fine totaling $19,383. The last inspection was January 22, 2026. Strong staffing, but the inspection history is what a family should ask about directly.

Keystone Nursing Care Center runs 55 beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5-star health inspection rating with just three deficiencies on file, only one at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Quality measures also score 5 stars. Where it gives ground is staffing: 3.75 nurse hours per resident day sits about 3% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 12% below its own weekday level, and the staffing rating lands at 3 stars. Turnover is the brighter spot at 38.6%, well under the 45.8% national figure. Its last inspection was September 2025.

Southeast Iowa Healthcare Center runs lean on daily nurse coverage, 2.94 hours per resident, roughly a quarter below the national figure, and weekends dip about 14% under its own weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. What offsets it: turnover sits at 35.9%, well under the 45.8% national rate, meaning the aides and nurses who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is clean where it counts, six deficiencies with none causing harm and nothing abuse-related, and the most recent survey was in January 2026. A for-profit LLC with 55 beds, this is a stable, recently inspected home that runs thin on hours rather than on care quality.

Lake Mills Care Center runs 61 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 25% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. The inspection record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with nothing abuse-related; the last survey was April 2026. Quality measures score well, but staffing and health inspection results both land mid-range, which is what holds this home back from the top tier.

Westview Of Indianola runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the last visit in December 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 71 beds, and on the federal stars it earns fives for inspections and quality measures, four for staffing.
