Iowa City Rehab & Health Care runs 89 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its federal stars split sharply: quality measures score 4 out of 5, while inspection and staffing each land at 1. Staff turnover sits at 50%, above the 45.8% national average. The current record carries 42 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. A May 2026 inspection is recent enough to reflect current conditions. The strong quality numbers suggest clinical care goals are being met on paper, but thin staffing and frequent turnover make that hard to sustain, and the inspection history is the number I'd weigh heaviest when deciding.

Westview Acres runs a tight ship on inspections, a clean 4-star health rating, no deficiencies at the harm level, and a survey completed just months ago in June 2025. But look at the staffing math and a different picture emerges. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 14% below its own weekday coverage, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday night. Turnover at 55.8% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through faster than average. Two abuse-related deficiencies on record are worth asking about directly. The care is decent, but consistency is the open question.

Manor House Care Center runs 55 beds in Sigourney under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends running about 15% lighter than its own weekdays. That thin weekend coverage matters more when you look at the inspection record: 14 deficiencies currently on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with the most recent inspection dated May 15, 2025. CMS rates its health inspections and staffing at 2 out of 5 stars each, while quality measures come in at 4. The quality scores look better than the day-to-day staffing and oversight picture, and that gap is worth asking about directly.

Guttenberg Care Center runs a tight ship on inspections, zero deficiencies on its current record, none at the harm level, nothing abuse-related, and a five-star health inspection rating from CMS, with its last survey in November 2025. Staffing is thinner than average, though: 3.65 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally, and weekends run about 9% leaner than weekdays, which matters most when families visit and needs don't pause. Turnover sits at 40%, better than the 45.8% national figure, suggesting the crew that's there tends to stay. For 46 beds under limited-liability ownership, the picture is a clean inspection history paired with below-average daily coverage, worth asking the administrator how weekends are actually staffed.

Woodland Health and Rehabilitation runs 62 beds in Mount Pleasant under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits about 12 percent under the national average, with weekends thinner still. That thin coverage shows up in the inspection record: 17 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to put residents in harm's way and three tied to abuse, plus roughly $34,000 in fines. The one clear bright spot is that caregivers stay longer than average here, with turnover well below the national rate. Clinical quality scores look strong on paper, but the last inspection only happened this April, so that record is fresh and unresolved.

The Vistas At Bettendorf runs 4.36 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in its four-star rating there. Weekends dip about 6% below its own weekday levels, so coverage holds fairly steady. Turnover is the soft spot: 53.8% of staff leave each year against a 45.8% national figure, which is worth asking about directly. Its 13 deficiencies include none at the harm level and none abuse-related, and the most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measures score two stars, the weakest area on record. Owned by a for-profit limited liability company.

Sunny View Care Center in Ankeny runs 94 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover at 44.4% is essentially at the national average, meaning the workforce churns steadily without being an outlier either way. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 42 deficiencies on file, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with the last inspection dated January 2026. Quality and staffing measures land mid-range, but that inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down.

Cedar Falls Health Care Center runs 70 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its 2.72 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit roughly 30% under the national average of 3.86, a real gap when direct care time is what residents actually feel. Weekend staffing drops about 8% below weekday levels, so the leanest shifts get leaner. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 37 deficiencies, two at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with a 2/5 health inspection rating. Annual turnover at 43.8% is slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, and quality and staffing star ratings both come in at 4/5, but the January 2026 inspection and that deficiency count are what families should ask about directly.

Regency Park in Jefferson runs 46 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.04 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. That shortfall gets worse on weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below the home's own weekday level. The bigger number is turnover: 97.5% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning the staff caring for residents turns over almost completely every year. Its record shows 24 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. The most recent inspection was December 31, 2025, so the picture is current.

Pleasant Acres runs about 3.02 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 14 percent below its own weekday numbers. That gap matters most on Saturdays and Sundays, when families often visit and needs don't pause. Turnover sits at 31 percent, better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so the crew that is there tends to stay. The current record shows 23 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection in February 2026. Quality measure scores lag at 2 out of 5 stars while staffing holds at 4, which tells you the care process numbers aren't keeping pace with the hours on the floor.

Monticello Nursing & Rehab runs 75 certified beds, and its nursing hours come in around 3.17 per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops about 30% below what the home staffs on weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family tends to visit or need answers on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 50%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure, so expect some unfamiliar faces. The inspection record is the stronger part: a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating with 19 deficiencies on file, none at harm level, though two are abuse-related. One fine, $4,194, and a January 2026 inspection round out the picture.

The Rehabilitation Center of Allison runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, 3.54 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 11% below its own weekday pace. That staffing picture is strained further by 65.5% annual turnover, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nurse workforce turns over each year. State inspectors cited 17 deficiencies on the current record, two at harm or jeopardy level and two abuse-related, after a visit in August 2024. The quality measure score looks strong, but it sits alongside a two-star inspection history, and the home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company.

Accura Healthcare of Knoxville runs 60 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits about 10% under the national average, roughly 3.47 hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. Weekends are the bigger gap: coverage drops about 19% below the home's own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 53.2% versus 45.8% nationally, so familiar faces are harder to count on. The inspection record carries 15 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $16,153. The most recent inspection was February 19, 2026, so the picture is current rather than stale. Ask about weekend staffing and how the abuse-related findings were resolved before deciding.

Careage Hills runs 44 certified beds in Cherokee under individual for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.15 hours per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 59.3%, well above the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record shows 20 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with the most recent inspection dated March 5, 2026. Federal ratings split on this home: staffing scores well at 4 of 5, quality measures land at 3, but health inspections come in at 2 of 5.

Sunny Hill Care Center runs 57 beds in Tama under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nursing hours come in at 3.00 per resident day, roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about another 10% below the home's own weekday staffing. The inspection record is the real concern: 14 deficiencies currently on file, four of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and three tied to abuse. Two fines total $24,756, and the most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. Quality and staffing measures both sit mid-range at three stars, but the health inspection rating of one star reflects what those deficiency counts show.

Hawkeye Care Center Dubuque runs about 3.33 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday staffing. The 80-bed home is owned by a for-profit limited liability company and carries ten deficiencies on its current record, one of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none are abuse-related. Its last inspection was September 18, 2025, and CMS gives it three stars each for health inspections, quality measures, and staffing. That's a home sitting squarely in the middle, decent marks across the board, but staffing hours that fall short of what most residents need.

Annual turnover is 49.2%, above the national 45.8%. The current record shows 61 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was August 6, 2025. CMS gives the home 1 of 5 stars on health inspections, 2 on quality measures, and 4 on staffing.

Rehabilitation Centers Of Independence West Campus runs 70 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nursing hours come to 3.18 per resident day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 11% below its own weekday staffing, and annual turnover sits at 60.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 15 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $22,740 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was December 11, 2025. Families weighing this one should look hard at that deficiency history and the staffing shortfall together.

Park View Rehabilitation Center runs 77 certified beds in Sac City under corporate ownership, and the staffing numbers are the place to start. At 3.62 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover lands at 53.2% against a national 45.8%, so nearly half the workforce is cycling through each year. The inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse; the most recent inspection was March 2026, so that record is current. Quality and health inspection measures both rate 2 out of 5.

Nurse staffing at Rehabilitation Center Of Hampton runs about 15% under the national average, roughly 3.27 hours per resident day against 3.86, and weekend coverage drops another 14% below its own weekday levels, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. The current record shows eight deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, though the last inspection was recent, in May 2025. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national average. The for-profit limited liability company that owns the 52-bed home posts strong marks on inspections and quality measures; the staffing number is what pulls it down.
