Bethany Home

Bethany Home is a Medicare and Medicaid certified skilled nursing facility located at 1005 Lincoln Avenue in Dubuque, Iowa (52001). The facility operates under for-profit corporate ownership and maintains 66 certified beds. It is currently active and accepts both Medicare and Medicaid residents. Bethany Home holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, based on data collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This rating is derived from three component measures. The health inspection rating stands at 5 stars, reflecting the outcomes of state inspection surveys conducted on behalf of CMS. The staffing rating is also 5 stars, which is based on reported nurse staffing hours relative to the number of residents. The quality measure rating is 4 stars, representing performance across a set of clinical quality indicators tracked for nursing home residents. The national average overall CMS star rating is 3.0 stars, providing a reference point for comparison. Bethany Home is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, meaning the facility is eligible to receive payment from both federal programs for qualifying residents. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Individuals and families reviewing payment options are advised to contact the facility directly at (563) 556-5233 or consult with a benefits counselor to confirm current coverage details and availability. When compared against national benchmarks, Bethany Home performs above the national average across multiple rating categories. The national average overall star rating of 3.0 stars serves as a baseline across all CMS-rated nursing facilities in the United States. Bethany Home's overall rating of 5 stars, combined with 5-star ratings in both health inspections and staffing, places it above this national average. The 4-star quality measure rating also exceeds the midpoint of the 5-star scale. These ratings are updated periodically by CMS and reflect data from specific reporting periods, so current conditions may differ from published figures. The facility is located in Dubuque County, Iowa, and serves the surrounding regional community.
