Good Samaritan - Davenport runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 119 beds, and its staff tends to stick around, turnover of 28.4% sits well under the national 45.8%, which matters when you're thinking about who's actually at the bedside month to month. Total nursing hours come in around 3.47 per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average, and weekends run about 12% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. The inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. A January 2026 inspection is recent, and the quality and staffing ratings both land at 4 out of 5.

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.

Sunrise Hill runs lean on daily nursing hours, 3.26 per resident, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends dip another 11% below its own weekday staffing. That's the tradeoff at a 76-bed for-profit home in rural Tama County. What stands out is retention: 10.3% turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning the aides and nurses here largely stay put, which matters more for daily care than a single staffing number. The inspection record is mostly clean (three deficiencies) but includes one harm-level and one abuse-related finding, so ask directly how those were resolved. Last inspected December 2025, so the record is current.

Parkview Care Center runs 70 certified beds in Fairfield under individual for-profit ownership. The staffing numbers are the hard part: a one-star staffing rating, despite a 29.4% turnover rate that actually beats the national average of 45.8%. That gap tells you the problem is how many hands are on deck per resident, not whether people stay. Its record shows 32 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, and the last inspection came in July 2025. Quality measures earn four stars, so the clinical tracking looks better than the day-to-day coverage suggests. Weigh those two against each other before deciding.

Oelwein Health Care Center runs 61 certified beds as a for-profit corporation, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.07 hours per resident day, roughly 21% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts come when families tend to visit. Turnover is the brighter spot: 32.5% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay put longer than elsewhere. The current record shows 11 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated March 26, 2026. Three stars each on health inspections, quality measures, and staffing put this home squarely in the middle.

Willow Dale Wellness Village runs 40 certified beds in Battle Creek under corporate for-profit ownership, and the numbers here are steadier than most. Nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, though weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. Annual turnover of 33.3% is well below the national 45.8%, which suggests people stick around long enough to know the residents. The last inspection came in December 2025 and turned up four deficiencies, none involving harm or abuse.

Concord Care Center runs 46 beds in Garner under for-profit LLC ownership, and the inspection record is the strongest part of the picture, the state visited in September 2025 and found 11 deficiencies, none of which rose to harm or jeopardy. The one abuse-related citation is worth asking about directly. Where the home gives ground is staffing: 3.50 nurse hours per resident day sits about 9% under the national average, weekend coverage dips roughly 12% below its own weekday levels, and 53.2% of staff turned over in a year against a 45.8% national rate. That combination, solid surveys, thinner and less stable coverage, is what keeps this from grading higher despite strong quality measure scores.

River Hills Village sits at 84 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership in Keokuk, and the staffing picture is its clearest strength: 4.28 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average. Turnover runs 40%, better than the 45.8% norm, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record shows 8 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in September 2025. Quality measures score well; the health inspection side is more middle-of-the-road.

Karen Acres runs a tight ship on inspections and quality measures, a four-star health inspection record and five stars on clinical quality, with no deficiencies at the harm level and nothing abuse-related. The trade-off sits in daily staffing: 3.27 nurse hours per resident, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. That gap matters most when a resident needs help on a Saturday afternoon. Turnover is the bright spot, 37.5% versus 45.8% nationally, so caregivers tend to stick around, which helps in a 35-bed building where everyone knows everyone. One recent inspection, June 2025, with ten deficiencies on record but none serious.

Crestview runs on solid staffing numbers, 3.95 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average, with a 4-out-of-5 staffing rating and turnover at 28.6% compared to the national 45.8%. That stability matters, though weekend coverage dips about 9% below weekday levels, so care on Saturdays and Sundays may look different than midweek. The trouble sits in inspections: 19 deficiencies on the current record, three of them serious enough to put residents at harm or jeopardy, and $25,136 in fines across two penalties. Health inspection rating is 2 out of 5, quality measures 3. That combination, good hands, rough oversight history, is what pulls the overall picture down.

The Ambassador Sidney runs about 46 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits roughly 8% under the national average at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day. Weekends thin out further, running about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage. What works in its favor: staff turnover of 34.1% beats the 45.8% national figure, and the inspection record is clean where it counts, 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, none tied to abuse. A recent March 2026 inspection backs that up. The tradeoff is a home that's reliably safe but thinly staffed at times, especially Saturdays and Sundays.

Colonial Manors of Columbus Community runs 39 certified beds in Louisa County under corporate for-profit ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The tradeoff shows up in turnover: 21.2% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections were recent, in July 2025, with 20 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related.

Wesley On Grand runs on a solid staffing base: 3.94 nurse hours per resident day, a bit above the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 5% from weekday levels, and turnover sits at 44.7%, marginally better than the 45.8% national figure. The inspection record is clean where it matters, four deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey in June 2025. Quality measures land mid-range. It's a nonprofit home with 80 beds whose strongest asset is a spotless harm-level record and dependable weekday staffing; the trade-offs are thinner weekend coverage and a quality-measure score that won't impress anyone.

Kennybrook Village sits in Grimes with 40 certified beds and an individual for-profit owner. The nurse staffing number is the standout: 4.54 hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, which is why CMS gives it 4 stars on staffing. Weekend coverage drops about 12% from weekday levels, so ask how that plays out on Saturdays. Turnover runs 49.1%, a bit above the national 45.8%, not alarming, but worth knowing. Twelve deficiencies are on record, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, and the last inspection was January 2026. Inspection and quality measures both sit at 3 stars.

The Cottages in Pella runs a nonprofit shop with 100 certified beds, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.18 hours per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, though weekend coverage dips about 7% below its own weekday levels, and half the staff turns over each year against a 45.8% national figure. That mix helps explain a staffing rating of 4 out of 5 and quality measures at 4 out of 5, but the health inspection side tells a harder story: 21 deficiencies on record, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with $40,054 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was August 25, 2025, so the record is current rather than stale. Good day-to-day care numbers, serious inspection findings.

Golden Age Care Center runs on a modest 46 beds in Centerville under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the clearest strength here: 3.91 nurse hours per resident day sits slightly above the national average, though weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 24.3% against a national 45.8%, meaning the aides and nurses you'd meet are more likely to still be there next year. The caution is quality measures, which score poorly, and 15 deficiencies on record, one abuse-related, none at harm level. A July 2025 inspection is recent. The staffing picture is good; the clinical report card is not.

Accura Healthcare of Stanton runs 46 certified beds in Montgomery County under for-profit LLC ownership. Nurse staffing sits at 3.79 hours per resident day, below the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly 17% below weekday levels, so families should ask who's actually on the floor Saturday and Sunday. Turnover is the bright spot: 25%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The tradeoff shows up elsewhere. The current record carries 27 deficiencies, two of them abuse-related, and the quality measure rating is 1 out of 5, even as staffing earns top marks. Last inspection was June 19, 2025.

Thomas Rest Haven runs on a city/county budget, and the staffing shows it: 4.71 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 22% above the national average. That's the strongest number here, though weekends drop about 16% below the home's own weekday coverage, so care thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the bigger concern. Eighteen deficiencies on file, including two at the harm level and two abuse-related, with one fine of $11,190 and a two-star health inspection rating. Turnover sits at 46.5%, essentially the national average, so continuity isn't unusual for the industry but isn't a strength. The last inspection was September 2025, so that record is recent.

Cedar Ridge Village runs 40 beds in West Des Moines under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.13 hours per resident day, roughly 7% above the national average, though weekends drop about 15% below what the home staffs on weekdays. That gap matters if your family tends to visit Saturday or Sunday. Annual turnover is 56.5%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people caring for your relative may not be the ones who were there a year ago. The current record shows 20 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, with none at the harm level; the last inspection was in August 2025.

Mercyone Centerville Medical Center is a small, church-affiliated nonprofit home in Appanoose County with just 19 certified beds. Its nurse staffing sits at 4.56 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent above the national average, though weekend coverage drops about 11 percent below its own weekday level. That staffing strength is real, but it's offset by a two-out-of-five health inspection rating and 16 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, and none abuse-related. The last inspection was in August 2025, so the picture is recent. Quality measures also rate two out of five. Read together: well-staffed day to day, but the inspection and quality numbers suggest care planning and clinical follow-through deserve scrutiny before you decide.
