Good Samaritan in Ottumwa runs 126 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits a bit under the national average, 3.63 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, with weekends about 8% lighter than weekdays. That modest shortfall is worth knowing if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays. What stands out more is retention: turnover of 31.2% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which usually translates into more consistent care. But the inspection record carries real weight: 33 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level, two tied to abuse, and $91,569 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was December 2025. Quality and staffing both rate 4 out of 5; health inspections come in at 3.

Accura Healthcare of Ottumwa runs 60 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just a hair under the national average at 3.81 hours per resident day. The bigger story is consistency: weekend coverage drops roughly 17% from weekday levels, so families should ask how that gap gets filled. Turnover is the bright spot here, 25.4% against a national average of 45.8% means aides and nurses tend to stay, which matters for familiarity with residents. The current record shows six deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, with no abuse citations. Inspectors last visited in September 2025, and the home earned four stars across health inspections, quality measures, and staffing.

Ridgewood Specialty Care runs about 3.27 nursing hours per resident each day, which is roughly 15 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage dips another 8 percent below its own weekday level. Staff turnover sits at 43.5 percent, slightly better than the 45.8 percent national figure, and the home is a nonprofit corporation. On its last inspection, dated December 22, 2025, the state cited 18 deficiencies, one of them serious enough to put a resident at risk of harm, though none involved abuse; one fine totaling $8,999 has been levied. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 looks good on paper, but thin staffing and that harm-level citation are what actually shape day-to-day care here.
