Stacyville Community Nursing sits in a quiet, rural part of Stacyville, Iowa, and has been part of the town since 1965, running as a community-owned, not-for-profit facility governed by a board of directors, and you'll find it has a total of 49 beds with 34 set aside for intermediate or skilled nursing care and 15 for residential care, so people with different needs can get help in this one place, and they do take both Medicare and Medicaid, plus they accept private insurance for intermediate care and contract with three Iowa Medical MCOs. The licensed nurses provide an average of 3.84 hours of care per resident daily, and the staff here offers skilled nursing, rehabilitation, therapy, and memory care, plus short and long-term stays, and you'll find an onsite outpatient therapy clinic that's open to people of any age in the community if their doctor orders it, with services including physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies. Residents get daily nursing care, have access to therapy services, and the rooms have been renovated to look modern, the grounds have green outdoor spaces, and people living here can take part in activities and programs that bring a sense of community.
The facility gets its direction from manager Jill Schutz, who's been in control since August 2022, and while its mission is to offer the best practical care around the clock, it's important to point out that recent inspection and complaint reports show deficiencies, such as problems in the infection-control area-four different infection-related citations in all-plus some issues with quality assurance (QAPI and QAA), care planning, and resident rights, which means they've not always met federal standards designed to protect residents. The nonprofit status means they have to file IRS forms, and while the board oversees the memory and skilled care units, there isn't a public record of individual board members. Stacyville Community Nursing is approved as a Veterans Choice provider, and the therapy clinic verifies insurance before treatment, with anyone paying out-of-pocket for anything not covered. In summary, you'll see a skilled nursing facility in Stacyville that's set up for people who need several levels of care, from help with everyday needs to more medical attention, but you'll also want to review inspection records if you're weighing it against other options.
