Our read on Hawkeye Care Center Dubuque

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.
