It has a licensed capacity of 70 certified beds. The facility carries an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated based on three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures.

The staffing rating is also 2 stars, reflecting staffing levels that fall below what CMS considers average for facilities of this type.

The quality measure score represents the strongest performing domain for this facility among the three components reviewed by CMS. Valley Vista for Nursing and Rehabilitation accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification makes the facility accessible to residents who rely on federal health insurance through Medicare, as well as those who qualify for Medicaid assistance through the state of Iowa. Prospective residents or their representatives are advised to contact the facility directly at (641) 792-7440 to confirm current bed availability, specific payment options, and any private pay arrangements. When compared against national benchmarks, Valley Vista presents a mixed profile across its CMS rating categories. The overall 2-star rating is below the national average, driven in part by lower scores in health inspections and staffing. However, the 4-star quality measure rating suggests that clinical outcomes for residents are measured above average by CMS standards. Facilities are evaluated on a rolling basis, and ratings are subject to change as new inspection data and staffing reports are submitted to CMS. This data reflects the most recently available information reported to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Individuals researching care options in Newton, Iowa or the broader Jasper County area may use this information as one reference point in a broader evaluation process.
