West Point Care Center runs 46 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.92 hours per resident day, barely above the national average of 3.86. That thin margin matters because weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 53.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $13,627. CMS gives strong marks on quality measures and solid ones on health inspections, with a recent survey date. The staffing picture is where the tension sits.

Maple Heights runs on strong staffing for a 58-bed for-profit corporate home in Monona County. Nurses provide 4.36 hours per resident per day, roughly 13% above the national average, and the 28.4% turnover rate is well below the 45.8% national figure, people tend to stay. Inspections back that up: 11 deficiencies on record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in December 2025. Two things temper the picture. Weekend staffing dips about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, and the 2/5 quality measure rating suggests the clinical outcomes data isn't keeping pace with the staffing numbers.

Mill Valley Care Center runs 46 beds in Bellevue under corporate ownership, and its strongest asset is nursing hours: 4.23 per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, which earned a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national average, meaning aides cycle through at a typical rate. The record shows nine deficiencies, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and a clean five-star health inspection completed in June 2025, recent enough to trust. Quality measures score 3 out of 5, the softer spot.

Scenic Manor runs 77 certified beds in Iowa Falls under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.71 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday, expect a thinner floor. The stronger number is turnover: 26.9% against a national average of 45.8%, which suggests workers here tend to stay. Its current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in May 2025.

Oakview runs a tight ship for a 40-bed for-profit home in Marion. Its nurse staffing sits just above the national average, and a 22.5% turnover rate is roughly half the national figure, that kind of stability usually means residents see the same faces week to week. Weekend coverage does dip about 15% below weekday levels, worth asking about if you're planning visits or worrying about Saturday care. The inspection record shows 13 deficiencies with none at harm level, though two are abuse-related, and the most recent state visit was August 2025.

Accura Healthcare of Ottumwa runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just a hair under the national average at 3.81 hours per resident day. The bigger story is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 17% from weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover is the bright spot here, 25.4% against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters for familiarity with residents. The current record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations. Inspectors last visited in September 2025, and the home earned four stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Ennoble Nursing And Rehab runs 85 certified beds in Dubuque under for-profit limited liability ownership. The numbers that matter most here are clean: two deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, and a state inspection completed in June 2025. Staff turnover sits at 40%, a bit better than the 45.8% national average, though total nurse staffing of 3.60 hours per resident day lands about 7% under the national figure. Weekend coverage drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about directly. A five-star inspection rating and five-star quality measures carry real weight, but the staffing margin is thinner than those marks suggest.

Mount Ayr Health Care Center runs 46 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below the home's own weekday coverage, so families should ask how that gap gets covered. Turnover is the brighter spot: 37% against a national 45.8%, which suggests a relatively stable crew for a small Iowa home. The inspection record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated April 2026.

Chariton Specialty Care runs 60 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its staffing sits just under the national average at 3.81 nurse hours per resident day. The bigger concern is who's on the floor: annual turnover hits 58.1%, well above the 45.8% national rate, and weekends run about 13% leaner than weekdays, exactly when families often visit. Inspections tell a similar story, 18 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A single fine of $15,134 has been levied. The most recent inspection was January 14, 2026. Quality measures score well, but the direct-care and oversight picture is what a family should weigh.

Green Hills runs on a strong direct-care workforce: 4.53 nurse hours per resident day is about 17 percent more than the national average, and that shows up in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is consistency, weekend coverage drops roughly 13 percent below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 47.1 percent, slightly worse than the national average, so the faces around your family member may change often. Seven deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and a January 2026 inspection is recent enough to trust. Quality measures are the weak spot at two stars, which is worth asking about directly even though the care hours look good on paper.

Brio Of Johnston runs a for-profit limited liability operation with 36 certified beds in Polk County, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.57 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops about 10% below the home's own weekday pace. Staff turnover lands at 55.1%, nearly ten points above the national figure, which means the people delivering that care are cycling through faster than average. Twelve deficiencies sit on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with a single fine of $6,923 and an inspection dated April 2026. The staffing and quality measure ratings hold at 4 stars each; inspection results sit lower at 3.

Regency Park's inspection record is the strongest card here, a four-star health inspection and a five-star quality measure score, both built on a survey done in November 2025 with nine total deficiencies and just one at the harm level. No abuse findings on the record. Where it slips is staffing: 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, about 10% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 13% thinner than weekdays. Forty-six beds under corporate ownership means the numbers aren't hiding much. Ask how the weekend shift is covered, especially on evenings, and who's on call when it isn't.

Elkader Care Center runs 40 beds as a for-profit LLC, and its inspection record is genuinely strong, a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with a recent survey from December 2025. But look at the direct-care picture: 3.73 nurse hours per resident per day sits slightly under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday staffing. Annual turnover of 54.5% tops the national 45.8%, which means the people helping your relative bathe and eat are changing often. Four deficiencies are on record, one involving harm or jeopardy and one tied to abuse. Good inspections, thinner hands-on coverage, worth asking about.

Osceola Senior Living runs 46 certified beds in Sibley under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. That margin is modest, though, and weekends dip roughly 10% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the daily experience can shift depending on when you visit. The current record shows 6 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level and none related to abuse. With a 4/5 health inspection rating and a recent inspection dated April 2026, the compliance picture looks stable rather than spotless.

Sunrise Hill runs lean on daily nursing hours, 3.26 per resident, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's the tradeoff at a 76-bed for-profit home in rural Tama County. What stands out is retention: 10.3% turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses here largely stay put, which matters more for daily care than a single staffing number. The inspection record is mostly clean (three deficiencies) but includes one harm-level and one abuse-related finding, so ask directly how those were resolved. Last inspected December 2025, so the record is current.

Parkview Care Center runs 70 certified beds in Fairfield under individual for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the hard part: a one-star staffing rating, despite a 29.4% turnover rate that actually beats the national average of 45.8%. That gap tells you the problem is how many hands are on deck per resident, not whether people stay. Its record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and the last inspection came in July 2025. Quality measures earn four stars, so the clinical tracking looks better than the day-to-day coverage suggests. Weigh those two against each other before deciding.

Oelwein Health Care Center runs 61 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 32.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay put longer than elsewhere. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated March 26, 2026. Three stars each on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing put this home squarely in the middle.

Willow Dale Wellness Village runs 40 certified beds in Battle Creek under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here are steadier than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 33.3% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around long enough to know the residents. The last inspection came in December 2025 and turned up four deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse.

Concord Care Center runs 46 beds in Garner under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, the state visited in September 2025 and found 11 deficiencies, none of which rose to harm or jeopardy. The one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Where the home gives ground is staffing: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, and 53.2% of staff turned over in a year against a 45.8% national rate. That combination, solid surveys, thinner and less stable coverage, is what keeps this from grading higher despite strong quality measure scores.

River Hills Village sits at 84 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Keokuk, and the staffing picture is its clearest strength: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. Turnover runs 40%, better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in September 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more middle-of-the-road.
