The facility operates under for-profit corporate ownership and maintains a licensed capacity of 77 certified beds. It can be reached by phone at (641) 648-4671. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns Scenic Manor an overall star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. The CMS rating system evaluates nursing homes across three primary categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Scenic Manor receives a 4-star rating in each of these three categories. The health inspection rating reflects findings from state and federal inspections conducted on-site. The staffing rating is based on reported nurse and aide hours per resident per day. The quality measure rating is derived from clinical data reflecting resident outcomes across multiple tracked indicators. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Scenic Manor is approved to accept residents covered under both federal programs. Medicare typically provides coverage for short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term nursing home care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria, as administered through the Iowa Medicaid program. Individuals and families are encouraged to verify current coverage details and payment policies directly with the facility and with the relevant program administrators. When compared to the national average overall star rating of 3.0 stars, Scenic Manor's 4-star overall rating indicates above-average performance across the metrics CMS uses to evaluate nursing facilities. All three individual rating categories, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, also register at 4 stars, suggesting consistent performance above the national norm in each measured domain. With 77 certified beds, the facility serves as a mid-size care option within Iowa Falls and the broader Hardin County area.
