Nursing homes across Warren County, Iowa, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Westview Of Indianola runs about 4.00 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, and weekend coverage dips roughly 7% below its own weekday level, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 27.8%, well under the national 45.8%, which matters because consistent caregivers know residents' routines. The inspection record is clean: zero deficiencies, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the last visit in December 2025. It's a for-profit LLC with 71 beds, and on the federal stars it earns fives for inspections and quality measures, four for staffing.
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.
Accura Healthcare of Carlisle runs 80 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing numbers are where I'd start. At 3.11 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 7% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 52.1% against a national 45.8%, so the faces around your relative change often.
The inspection record is heavier than that staffing gap suggests: 46 deficiencies on file, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, plus a $37,177 fine. The most recent inspection was July 2025, so it's current. Ask about weekend coverage and the abuse-related findings specifically before you decide.
Good Samaritan, Indianola runs 105 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 60.5% when the national figure is 45.8%, that combination makes consistent care hard to guarantee. The inspection record compounds it: 43 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $20,316. Its most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Families should ask directly how the home covers weekend shifts and what it has changed since that last survey.
Norwalk Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is a 45-bed for-profit home in Warren County, and the numbers pull in different directions. Its last inspection, at the end of 2025, produced seven deficiencies, none at the harm level, but one abuse-related, and CMS gives it solid marks on health inspections. Staffing is the problem: a one-star rating there, with annual turnover of 95.3% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly the whole workforce turns over every year. Quality measures sit at two stars. A recent, mostly clean inspection record matters, but a building where almost nobody stays on staff is hard to run consistently, and that's what holds the overall picture down.
Regency Care Center runs about 3.15 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 18% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends are thinner still, about 14% below its own weekday staffing. The inspection record is heavy: 49 deficiencies, three of them at the level where residents were actually harmed or put in jeopardy, plus one tied to abuse, and a $78,497 fine. The most recent inspection was in April 2025. Ownership is a for-profit limited liability company, with 101 certified beds. Federal staffing and health inspection ratings both sit at one star out of five.
