Davenport, IA · Scott County

CMS 3/5 135 beds Non-profit Medicaid
Nurse hours

Staff turnover

Kahl Home has a strange split on its record. The clinical quality measures come in at the top of CMS's scale and staffing is solidly above average, 3.96 nurse hours per resident day, a bit ahead of the 3.86 national figure, with turnover at 37.2% against a 45.8% national rate. But the health inspection side tells a different story: 15 deficiencies on the current record, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and CMS rates inspections just 2 out of 5. Weekend coverage also dips about 7% below weekday levels. The most recent inspection, in March 2026, is recent enough to trust. The B reflects real strengths in care delivery weighed against unresolved problems with how the building is run day to day.

Crown Pointe Estates Care Center

Nurse hours

Staff turnover
28%
Serious cites
0

Crown Pointe Estates runs 4.88 nurse hours per resident day, well above the national average of 3.86, and the weekend drop is modest at around 12 percent. Staff turnover sits at 27.8 percent against a national figure of 45.8, meaning workers tend to stick around here longer than at most homes. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere: 18 deficiencies on the current record, though none reached harm or jeopardy level and none involved abuse, with the most recent inspection in June 2025. Quality measure scores land below average even as staffing earns top marks, so the picture is a well-staffed nonprofit that hasn't yet turned that advantage into strong clinical outcomes on paper.

The Village in Indianola runs on a nonprofit model and staffs above the national average, 4.10 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover sits at 45.9%, essentially the national average, which means retention here isn't a crisis but isn't a strength either. Seven deficiencies appear on the current record, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with nothing abuse-related. The last inspection was January 15, 2026, recent enough to trust. Four stars on health inspections and quality measures, five on staffing, with 54 beds, small enough that you can reasonably expect staff to know residents by name.

Briarwood Healthcare Center runs 62 certified beds in Iowa City under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers hold up better than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, essentially level with the national average, and turnover at 43.8% actually comes in slightly under the national rate, which matters because stable staff usually means residents see familiar faces. The inspection record is the real story: eight deficiencies on file, none at the harm level, none related to abuse, and a survey completed in December 2025. For a for-profit home that size, that combination of recent, low-severity findings and steady staffing is what separates it from the pack.

Laurens Care Center

Staff turnover

Serious cites
0

Laurens Care Center runs on 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and that staffing depth is the main thing holding its record together. Weekend coverage dips about 10% below its own weekday level, so care thins out somewhat on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 42.4%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection history is mixed: 15 deficiencies on record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, with the last inspection dated April 2026. Pocahontas County's nonprofit home isn't coasting on reputation, it's earning its marks through consistent nurse coverage, while those abuse-related findings deserve a direct question.

Good Samaritan, George runs 36 beds as a nonprofit, and its staff stick around longer than most, turnover of 37.9% beats the national 45.8%, but there aren't many of them: 3.34 nurse hours per resident day, about 13% under the national average, thinning further on weekends. The quality and staffing stars look strong, yet the inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with $18,142 in fines and a survey completed in August 2025. Stable caregivers, lighter coverage, and a cited record, weigh all three before deciding.

Staff turnover
—
Serious cites

Fellowship Village sits in Inwood, a small town in Lyon County, and it's run by a nonprofit corporation, which tends to mean any surplus goes back into the building rather than out to shareholders. On paper, the care side looks solid: four stars each on health inspections and quality measures, and just six deficiencies on the current record with none rising to harm or jeopardy and nothing abuse-related. The catch is staffing, where it earns only one star, well below what you'd want for 40 residents. Inspections were recent, in November 2025, so the picture is current. The takeaway: good outcomes so far, but ask directly how many aides are on the floor during evenings and weekends.

Corning Specialty Care runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.43 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Annual turnover lands at 43.5%, slightly better than the national 45.8%. Its inspection record shows 19 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was in February 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measure scores are strong and staffing scores are solid. The tradeoff here is real: good clinical outcomes and low-severity findings, but thinner daily coverage than the typical home.

Laporte City Specialty Care

La Porte City, IA · Black Hawk County

Laporte City Specialty Care runs a tight ship on inspections, a four-star health inspection record with only three deficiencies and none tied to abuse. The catch is staffing. At 3.24 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 16% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. The good news: turnover is 25.7%, well below the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Its last inspection was recent, in February 2026. For 46 beds under nonprofit ownership, that's a decent overall picture, just go in knowing the daily coverage is leaner than most.

Midlands Living Center runs 3.78 nurse hours per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 40.8%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure, worth noting since consistent caregivers matter for residents who need familiar faces. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related citation stands out and deserves a direct question when you tour. The last inspection was January 2026, so the record is recent. Quality measures score well; the staffing and inspection pictures are more mixed.

Wapello Specialty Care runs on thinner nurse coverage than most homes, about 3.4 hours per resident each day against a national figure near 3.9, and weekends dip roughly 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover sits at 37%, which sounds high until you note the national average is closer to 46%, so this nonprofit keeps its people longer than typical. The inspection record is where the picture gets muddier: 29 deficiencies on file, including three at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. The last full inspection was in late 2025, so that record is current. Strong quality and staffing scores from CMS sit alongside that citation history.

Pleasantview Home runs about 66 certified beds in Kalona under nonprofit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits roughly 10% above the national average at 4.26 hours per resident day. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage is thinnest when families tend to visit. Staff turnover lands at 46%, essentially matching the national figure, which means retention is ordinary rather than a standout strength. The current record shows six deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. Quality and staffing each earned four stars from CMS, while health inspections came in at three.

Hiawatha Care Center runs 109 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.98 hours per resident day, modestly above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs more attention on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is 34.5%, meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a more stable workforce than many homes manage. The current record shows 10 deficiencies, one at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026. CMS gives this home 3 stars for health inspections, 4 for quality measures, and 4 for staffing.

Northridge Village runs lean in a way that mostly works. Nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, comfortably above the national average, and that shows up in its staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below what the home staffs on weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is the bigger flag: 54.7% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff turned over in a year. Inspections came back recently and cleanly enough, with one deficiency serious enough to register as harm. Six deficiencies total, none tied to abuse.

Manor Of The Plains runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage drops roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover hits 51.9% against a national 45.8%, so the staff you meet may not be the staff there next year. The current record carries 20 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related. That's the tension worth sitting with: strong quality and staffing marks alongside real findings and steady churn.

Mennonite Friendship Communities runs about 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, a little above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below what it manages during the week. Staff turnover sits at 36.4%, well under the national 45.8%, that kind of retention usually shows up in how consistently residents see the same faces. The current record carries 24 deficiencies, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with a single fine of $14,498. Its last inspection was in January 2025, and the federal stars land at 4 for health inspections, 5 for quality measures, 4 for staffing.

Life Care Center Of Seneca runs a solid operation, and the numbers back that up. Nurse staffing sits at 4.02 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekend coverage drops roughly 11% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family member needs care on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the real bright spot at 31.1%, well under the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around. The home carries 15 deficiencies on its current record, but none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. Its last inspection was April 2025, and it scored 4 out of 5 stars on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Brookdale Overland Park runs a 94-bed for-profit operation in Johnson County, and the staffing numbers are the first thing worth noticing: 4.20 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% above the national average. That's a real cushion, not a rounding error. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 14% below the home's own weekday level, so the care your family member gets on a Saturday may look different from a Tuesday. Staff turnover at 53.3% also runs hotter than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity. Inspections in January 2026 turned up 23 deficiencies, none at harm level, though one was abuse-related.

Advanced Health Care of Overland Park runs a small 38-bed home, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.92 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 27% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping about 13% below weekdays. Turnover sits at 37.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for consistency of care. The concerns show up on inspections. The current record carries 23 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $13,397 fine, and the last inspection was September 2024. The quality and staffing ratings come back high, but that inspection history is what pulls the overall picture down. If you're considering it, ask directly about those abuse-related findings and what changed since.

The Willows At Harrodsburg runs 36 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.37 hours per resident day, roughly 13% above the national average, though weekends dip about 8% below its own weekday levels. Staff turnover lands at 42.9%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The tradeoff shows up in inspections: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 8 deficiencies on record including one at the harm or jeopardy level, and two fines totaling $12,529. No abuse-related citations appear. A recent January 2026 inspection means the record is current. Strong quality and staffing scores coexist with real compliance problems here, worth asking about that harm-level deficiency directly.
