Algona Manor Care Center runs 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.62 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 33.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay longer than is typical. The inspection record is current (June 2025) with 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, worth asking about directly. A 4/5 inspection rating and 5/5 quality measures round out a solid, if not richly staffed, picture.

Brooklyn Community Estates runs a tight ship on inspections, one deficiency on its current record, none involving harm or abuse, and a survey done just this year. Turnover tells a similar story: 25.7% is well under the national average of 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Where it gives ground is daily staffing hours, which sit about 10% below the national average, and weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays. That combination, steady, experienced staff but fewer of them on the floor, especially Saturdays and Sundays, is the main tradeoff here. For a 50-bed for-profit home, the compliance record is the strong part.

Briarwood Healthcare Center runs 62 certified beds in Iowa City under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers hold up better than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, and turnover at 43.8% actually comes in slightly under the national rate, which matters because stable staff usually means residents see familiar faces. The inspection record is the real story: eight deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, and a survey completed in December 2025. For a for-profit home that size, that combination of recent, low-severity findings and steady staffing is what separates it from the pack.

Midlands Living Center runs 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 40.8%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, worth noting since consistent caregivers matter for residents who need familiar faces. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related citation stands out and deserves a direct question when you tour. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection pictures are more mixed.

Hiawatha Care Center runs 109 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34.5%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable workforce than many homes manage. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. CMS gives this home 3 stars for health inspections, 4 for quality measures, and 4 for staffing.

Northridge Village runs lean in a way that mostly works. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, comfortably above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bigger flag: 54.7% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. Inspections came back recently and cleanly enough, with one deficiency serious enough to register as harm. Six deficiencies total, none tied to abuse.

Zearing Health Care runs 40 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.68 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about another 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are the ones families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level, though 3 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Quality measures score well, and the last inspection was recent. Small Iowa home, mostly solid numbers, with weekend coverage and those abuse citations as the real questions.

Bloomfield Care Center runs 91 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here mostly hold up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.96 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and turnover of 31.8% is well below the 45.8% norm, that stability matters more than people realize. Weekend coverage does dip roughly 10% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Nine deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a November 2025 inspection that's still recent. Quality measures land mid-range, inspections and staffing both stronger. Worth a visit, with questions about weekend shifts.

Accura Healthcare of Bancroft runs about 4.61 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national figure, and that staffing shows up in the numbers CMS cares about. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Staff turnover sits at 39.3%, better than the 45.8% national rate, which matters in a 25-bed home where residents know their caregivers by name. The current record shows seven deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in June 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5, the weakest part of the picture.

Accura Healthcare of Aurelia runs 41 certified beds under for-profit, limited-liability ownership in Cherokee County. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays, worth knowing if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 37.8%, actually better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests less churn than many peers. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was January 29, 2026, so that record is fresh. Quality measures and staffing both earned 4 of 5 stars, while health inspections landed at 3.

Mount Carmel Bluffs runs on 4.32 nurse hours per resident day, about 12 percent above the national average, and its staff tends to stay, 29 percent turnover against a national 45.8. That steadiness shows up in the inspection record: seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, none tied to abuse, with a survey completed in late February 2026. The trade-off is quality measures, where the home scores low despite the strong staffing. Weekend coverage slips roughly 10 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that gap gets filled. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 60 beds.

Rockwell Community Nursing Home runs on 4.38 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 13 percent more than the national average of 3.86, and that strength shows up in its five-star staffing rating. Weekend coverage slips about 15 percent below the home's own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. One deficiency sits on the current record with nothing at the harm level and no abuse findings, following an inspection in September 2025, and staff turnover of 47.1 percent edges just past the 45.8 percent national figure, worth asking about, since consistency matters as much as raw hours.

Good Samaritan, Saint Ansgar runs on a leaner nursing crew than most homes nationally, 2.94 nurse hours per resident day against a 3.86 average, and weekends dip about 15% below its own weekday coverage. The offset is stability: staff turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the 45.8% national figure, so the people there tend to stay. Its inspection record is clean where it counts, with four deficiencies on file and none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent state visit came in April 2025. For a 42-bed nonprofit, that mix of low turnover and no-harm findings is doing more work than the raw staffing number suggests.

Pleasant View runs about 4.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 12% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 39% comes in under the 45.8% national figure, two real strengths in a 70-bed for-profit building. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 13% below its own weekday level, so the care you'd see on a Tuesday isn't guaranteed on a Sunday. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection in July 2025. Solid numbers overall, worth a visit on a weekend to see the difference for yourself.

Westview Care Center runs a tight operation, zero deficiencies on its current record, no abuse findings, and a recent inspection from July 2025 that came back clean. Staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so afternoons and Saturdays may feel leaner than the numbers suggest. What stands out is retention: turnover at 34.4% beats the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. For a 67-bed for-profit LLC in Britt, that combination of a spotless inspection history and a stable workforce is the real story here.

Traditions Memory Care of Newton runs lean on the floor. At 2.99 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 23% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, the stretch when families tend to visit and when staffing gaps show most. What offsets that is stability: 21.2% turnover against a national 45.8% means the aides and nurses here largely stay, which matters more in memory care than almost anywhere. Seven deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with a fresh July 2025 inspection behind those numbers. The corporate owner takes profit, and the low staffing score reflects that choice; the people working there appear to be doing right by residents anyway.

Savannah Heights runs 50 beds in Mount Pleasant under corporate for-profit ownership, and its last inspection was in August 2025, recent enough that the record reflects how the home operates now. Nurse staffing sits at 3.85 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average of 3.86, though weekends run about 15% thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 47.4% against a national 45.8%, so a meaningful share of caregivers are still new to the building. The 16 deficiencies on file include one abuse-related citation, but none rose to harm or jeopardy, and the inspection and quality ratings both land at 4 of 5.

Lenox Care Center runs on an unusual split: five stars for staffing, two for health inspections. The 4.63 nurse hours per resident day beat the national average by about 20%, and turnover of 31.6% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, that kind of retention suggests people stay. Weekends thin out, though, running about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage. On the inspection side, 28 deficiencies sit on the record, two tied to abuse, none flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. The most recent inspection was March 2026, so the picture is current. For-profit partnership ownership, 36 beds. Strong hands on deck; the paperwork history is where questions remain.

Colonial Manor Of Amana runs a tight ship on inspections, a five-star health inspection record with just three deficiencies on file, none causing harm and none tied to abuse. That matters more than most families realize. The tradeoff shows up in daily staffing: 3.43 nurse hours per resident, about 11% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 17% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 34.8%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, a sign this for-profit corporation retains its caregivers reasonably well. Fifty beds, inspected recently in June 2025, quality measures middling at three stars. The care appears safe and well-supervised; just know weekends may feel stretched.

Accura Healthcare of Sioux City runs 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its last inspection was recent, December 2025, with 21 deficiencies on record but none involving harm or abuse, which matters more than the raw count. Nurse staffing sits at 3.74 hours per resident day, a touch under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Staff turnover is 37%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests people tend to stay. Federal ratings put quality and staffing at 4 stars each, inspection at 3.
