Westview Care Center

Westview Care Center is a Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facility located at 445 Eighth Avenue SW in Britt, Iowa (Hancock County, ZIP 50423). The facility operates under for-profit ownership as a Limited Liability Company and maintains a licensed capacity of 67 certified beds. CMS assigns Westview Care Center an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, based on data collected through the federal Nursing Home Care Compare program. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating is 5 out of 5, reflecting the outcomes of standard and complaint inspections conducted by state surveyors. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, which is based on reported nurse staffing hours relative to facility census, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, derived from clinical data across multiple care indicators including hospitalization rates, falls, pressure ulcers, and other resident health outcomes. Westview Care Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare covers skilled nursing facility services for qualifying beneficiaries following a qualifying hospital stay, typically for short-term rehabilitation or skilled care needs. Medicaid covers long-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria. Individuals seeking information about private pay rates, insurance coverage, or specific payment arrangements should contact the facility directly at (641) 843-3835. When compared to the national average overall star rating of 3.0 out of 5, Westview Care Center's overall rating of 5 out of 5 places it above that benchmark across all three component categories. The health inspection component at 5 out of 5 is notably higher than what many facilities across the country record, while the staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 out of 5 each also exceed the national average threshold. These ratings represent a snapshot of facility performance at the time of the most recent CMS data collection and are subject to change as new inspections, staffing reports, and quality data are submitted and reviewed. Prospective residents, family members, and care coordinators are encouraged to review the most current data through official federal sources and to conduct on-site visits when evaluating care options.
