Our read on Wesley Homes Des Moines Health Center
Wesley Homes Des Moines Health Center runs on noticeably more nursing hours than most homes, 4.79 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its staff tends to stay, with turnover at 30.8% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The inspection record shows 52 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related and worth asking about directly. A February 2026 inspection means the record is recent, and as a church-affiliated nonprofit, there's no ownership chain pulling profits out. The quality measures come in strong.
