Every nursing home CMS records under this group, and how the portfolio performs as a whole. Consistency
across a group says more about an operator than any single building.
Panora Specialty Care runs 46 beds as a nonprofit, and the numbers show a home that's decent on care quality but stretched on staff. Nurse staffing sits at 2.90 hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends run about 9% thinner than weekdays, a gap families often feel on Saturday and Sunday. Annual turnover is 50%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, meaning aides and nurses cycle through fairly often. The health inspection record shows 12 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in January 2026. Quality measures score well; staffing is where the strain shows.
Northern Mahaska Specialty Care runs leaner on nursing hours than most homes, 3.20 per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 13% below its own weekday coverage, so Saturday and Sunday shifts are where you'd feel that most. The trade-off is stability: staff turnover sits at 31.3%, well under the national 45.8%, and the nonprofit owner isn't cycling through administrators the way some for-profits do. What pulls the record down is the inspection side. Ten deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus a $39,033 fine, with the most recent inspection in late 2025. The care measures land middle of the pack.
Creston Specialty Care runs 74 certified beds under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.26 hours per resident day, roughly 16% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday levels, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Staff turnover is 48.1%, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 tied to abuse, with two fines totaling $19,663; the most recent inspection was May 8, 2025. All three CMS star ratings, health inspections, quality measures, and staffing, land at 3 out of 5.
Pinnacle Specialty Care is a 100-bed for-profit home in Cedar Falls, and the numbers point in a few different directions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average, and weekends run about 8% thinner than weekdays, which is when families tend to visit and notice. Turnover, though, is genuinely low at 27.4% against a 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. The inspection record is the bigger concern: 20 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, with a $8,362 fine and a 2-star health inspection rating. That's a lot of citations for a home this size, and it's what pulls the overall picture down.
Correctionville Specialty Care runs 39 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the staffing picture is mixed. Nurse coverage sits at 3.31 hours per resident day, roughly 14% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 10% below the home's own weekday level, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. Annual turnover is 51.6%, above the 45.8% national figure, which matters for how well aides know residents. The inspection record is the harder read: 42 deficiencies, seven at harm or jeopardy level, seven abuse-related, two fines totaling $60,316, and a survey completed December 31, 2025. Quality measures rate mid-range, but that inspection history is what drives the low overall mark.
Parkridge Specialty Care runs 90 certified beds in Pleasant Hill under nonprofit corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.27 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping about 10% below its own weekday levels. Turnover is 44.9%, essentially in line with the national 45.8%. The inspection record is the harder part: 49 deficiencies, including three at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus one fine of $34,450, and the most recent inspection was October 2025. A 1-star health inspection rating against a 3-star staffing rating tells you where the problems cluster, not necessarily in raw hours, but in how care is delivered and documented when regulators look closely.
Ravenwood Specialty Care is a 176-bed nonprofit home in Waterloo, and the numbers pull in two directions. Staffing sits at 3.35 nurse hours per resident day, about 13 percent under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover, though, is a genuine bright spot at 30.2 percent against a national average near 46.
What drags the picture down is the inspection record: 36 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and a one-star health inspection rating. The last inspection was recent, in November 2025, so that record reflects current conditions rather than old problems. A 2/5 on quality measures doesn't offset it. Plenty of direct-care hours have left the building, and the state has documented what that looks like.
Heritage Specialty Care runs 171 beds in Cedar Rapids under corporate ownership, and its last inspection in May 2026 left a record of 50 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy. Nurse staffing sits at 3.53 hours per resident day, roughly 9 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 8 percent below what the home staffs on weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover runs near 49 percent, a few points above average. No abuse citations appear on the record, and the single fine totals $14,365, but the inspection and quality ratings both sit at the bottom of CMS's five-point scale.
Eldora Specialty Care runs about 3.56 nursing hours per resident each day, roughly 8 percent under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip another 6 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover sits at 38.5 percent, which is actually better than the 45.8 percent national figure, so staff tend to stick around longer than at the typical home. The record is clean where it counts: four deficiencies total, none at the harm or jeopardy level, no abuse citations, and the last inspection was recent, in December 2025. This is a small nonprofit home with solid inspection and quality marks; the main thing to weigh is whether the lighter daily staffing, especially on weekends, fits the care your family member needs.
Crestview Specialty Care runs 65 certified beds in West Branch under nonprofit corporate ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, about 5% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 62.7% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents are cycling through fast.
What stands out most is the inspection record: 28 deficiencies, six of them serious enough to cause harm or jeopardy, and three fines totaling $216,061. The most recent inspection was December 2025. No abuse citations appear on file. Staffing and quality measures both land mid-range, but that deficiency history is the real weight here.
Lantern Park Specialty Care runs 90 certified beds in Coralville under nonprofit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.52 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 9% under the national average of 3.86, with weekends dipping about 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover tells a sharper story: 59.4% annually against a national 45.8%, meaning well over half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record shows 47 deficiencies, including 5 at harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus one fine totaling $62,595. CMS rated its last inspection two stars on health and two on quality measures, with staffing at three. The most recent survey was July 2025.
Westwood Specialty Care is a nonprofit home with 85 beds in Sioux City, and the numbers families tend to ask about first are the inspection ones. Its record carries 79 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and one tied to abuse, plus two fines totaling $181,086, and the most recent inspection was in April 2026, so this isn't a stale file. Staffing sits at 3.20 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 13 percent thinner than weekdays and turnover at 49.3 percent. Ownership being nonprofit doesn't offset any of that on its own.
Dubuque Specialty Care runs about 2.89 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly a quarter below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop another 17% below its own weekday coverage. Staff turnover sits at 57.1% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing team leaves each year. The inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a $53,372 fine, and the most recent inspection was July 30, 2025. Quality measures score mid-range, but thin staffing and high turnover are the numbers that matter most for day-to-day care.
