What a shift at Azria Health looks like
On the floor
What the day-to-day looks like
Nurses report finding purpose in restorative care and opportunities to learn, though Indeed ratings for pay, management, and advancement each sit at 3.0 out of 5. The company offers health insurance, PTO, holiday pay, 401K, and Caregiver of the Month recognition. The Des Moines facility received a 'much below average' overall Medicare rating and was cited in 2025 state inspections for 'free roaming' rodents, leaking ceilings, mold, and insufficient staff—issues that may have contributed to resident illnesses, according to inspection reports.
