Accura Healthcare of Milford is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 1600 13th Street in Milford, Iowa (zip code 51351), within Dickinson County. The facility is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid and maintains a licensed capacity of 46 certified beds. It can be reached by phone at (712) 338-4742.
The facility holds an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 5 stars, which is the highest rating available under the federal rating system administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. This overall rating draws from three component ratings. The health inspection rating is 5 stars, reflecting performance on state inspection surveys conducted on behalf of CMS. The staffing rating is 3 stars, which falls at the national average benchmark and reflects the levels of nursing and direct care staff relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average and reflects performance on clinical quality indicators such as rates of falls, pressure ulcers, and hospital readmissions.
Accura Healthcare of Milford accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to a broad range of residents. Individuals and families seeking care at this facility are encouraged to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits coordinator to confirm current coverage details, bed availability, and any private pay or supplemental insurance arrangements that may apply.
When compared against national averages, the facility presents a mixed performance profile. The overall 5-star rating is notably above the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in large part by its 5-star health inspection result. The staffing component, at 3 stars, aligns with national norms, indicating staffing levels that are consistent with the median across CMS-certified nursing facilities nationwide. However, the 2-star quality measure rating indicates that clinical outcome indicators at this facility are below what is observed at an average facility nationally. This rating category reflects measurable resident health outcomes and can be a point of consideration for those comparing facilities based on clinical care benchmarks. The facility's 46-bed size classifies it among smaller nursing homes, which may influence staffing patterns and the overall care environment compared to larger regional facilities.

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
