Nursing homes across Jackson County, Iowa, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Mill Valley Care Center runs 46 beds in Bellevue under corporate ownership, and its strongest asset is nursing hours: 4.23 per resident day, roughly 10% above the national average, which earned a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. Weekends dip about 14% below its own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover sits at 46.4%, essentially the national average, meaning aides cycle through at a typical rate. The record shows nine deficiencies, none causing harm or tied to abuse, and a clean five-star health inspection completed in June 2025, recent enough to trust. Quality measures score 3 out of 5, the softer spot.
Jackson Ridge runs 3.34 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, so hands-on time here sits roughly 13 percent under what's typical, and weekends dip about 6 percent below the home's own weekday pace. Staff turnover lands at 43.5 percent, which is actually a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The 18 deficiencies on record include none flagged for harm or jeopardy and none tied to abuse, and the most recent inspection came in June 2025. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 75 certified beds, and its federal ratings sit at three stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.
Maquoketa Care Center runs 46 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its last full inspection was in May 2025, recent enough that the findings are worth reading closely. That record carries six deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one tied to abuse. It's not a long list, but those two categories matter more than the count suggests.
Staffing sits at 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 10% thinner than weekdays. Annual turnover is 50%, a few points above the national 45.8%. Inspections scored well; the day-to-day staffing numbers are where this home looks more ordinary.
