Our read on Methodist Manor Retirement Community
Methodist Manor in Storm Lake runs on a nonprofit model, and its staffing numbers show it. At 4.26 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 10% above the national average, and it's one of the few homes where the 5-star staffing rating reflects real retention, 25.7% turnover against a national average of 45.8% is unusually steady. Weekends dip only about 6% below weekday coverage, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually on the floor on a Sunday. The caution is in the inspection record: 21 deficiencies, including one at harm level and one abuse-related, with the most recent survey in April 2026. Strong staffing and quality measures, but the compliance history is worth asking about directly.
