Our read on Accura Healthcare Of Marshalltown

Accura Healthcare Of Marshalltown is a for-profit, 84-bed home in Marshall County, and its record is thin in the places that matter most. Nurse staffing runs 3.60 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average, and drops roughly another 10% on weekends, which is when families often visit and notice. The current inspection record carries 42 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, and the latest inspection was March 2026. Staff turnover, at 42.3%, is actually slightly better than the national 45.8%, so the problem isn't retention alone; it's what's happening on the floor and in the survey record.
