Our read on Sunrise Hill Care Center
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.
