Westhaven Community is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve residents under either federal program. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on three primary domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures.

The facility receives 4 stars for staffing, indicating staffing levels that exceed the national average. The quality measure rating is likewise 4 stars, reflecting performance on clinical quality indicators that is above average nationally. Westhaven Community accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification allows the facility to serve a broad range of residents, including those covered under federal insurance programs for older adults and individuals with disabilities, as well as those who qualify for state and federally funded long-term care assistance. Prospective residents or their representatives are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (515) 432-1393 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay options, and any additional accepted payment sources. When compared to national benchmarks, Westhaven Community presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national average, meaning it neither outperforms nor underperforms the broader population of CMS-rated facilities on the composite measure. However, the individual domain ratings offer additional context. The staffing rating of 4 stars suggests the facility employs nursing personnel at levels above what is typical nationally, which can be a relevant factor when evaluating day-to-day resident care. Similarly, the 4-star quality measure rating indicates that performance on tracked clinical outcomes, such as rates of hospital readmissions, pressure ulcers, and other monitored indicators, is above the national norm. The 3-star health inspection rating reflects an inspection history in line with the national average, based on findings from unannounced state surveys and complaint investigations conducted over the prior three years. Together, these ratings provide a data-based reference point for understanding the facility's standing relative to peers across the country.
