The facility operates as a non-profit corporation and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It maintains a capacity of 26 certified beds, making it a relatively small facility by national standards. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across four categories: overall, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Titonka Care Center holds an overall CMS rating of 4 out of 5 stars, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. Its health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5 stars, indicating a below-average performance in this category relative to national benchmarks. In contrast, the facility received a staffing rating of 5 out of 5 stars and a quality measure rating of 5 out of 5 stars, both representing the highest possible scores in their respective categories. Titonka Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, as reflected in its dual certification status. This dual certification allows the facility to serve residents who rely on federal health insurance programs for their care. Individuals and families seeking placement should contact the facility directly at (515) 928-2600 to inquire about current availability, private pay options, and any additional accepted insurance types. When evaluated against national averages, Titonka Care Center presents a mixed profile. The overall 4-star rating places it above the national average, driven substantially by its perfect scores in staffing and quality measures. The staffing rating reflects the levels and consistency of nursing staff as reported to CMS, while the quality measure rating is based on clinical data related to resident health outcomes. The 2-star health inspection rating, however, falls below the national average, indicating that recent inspections identified deficiencies at a rate or severity above what is typical nationally. Prospective residents and their representatives may wish to review the detailed inspection reports available through the CMS Care Compare database for a complete account of findings. As a small, non-profit facility in a rural Iowa community, Titonka Care Center serves a limited number of residents, and bed availability may be more constrained compared to larger regional facilities.
