Caring Acres Nursing and Rehab Center

Postings for RN, LPN, and CNA roles list full-time and part-time options, flexible scheduling, and an open door to new graduates who already hold Iowa licensure or certification. The work is described as fast-paced; the building itself is described with homemade meals and spacious rooms. Pay on recent postings sits around $46–$50/hr for RNs, $34–$38 for LPNs, and $20–$22 for CNAs. Reviewers have said the residents and coworkers can make the job feel worthwhile, and at least one former CNA noted management was flexible on the schedule. At the same time, CMS-linked data shows a weak health-inspection rating, dozens of deficiencies, fines, and lean nurse hours per resident day—especially on weekends—and a former CNA described chronic short staffing. That tension is part of the real picture if you are deciding whether to apply.
