Hubbard Care Center

Working at Hubbard Care Center

Hubbard Care Center is a 60-bed nursing home in Hubbard, Iowa. Over the 12-month period CMS measures, 63.6% of its registered nurses stopped working here. Across the 338 Iowa nursing homes CMS reports, the average is 41.9%, so RN turnover here is higher than at 82% of nursing homes in the state.

Staffing tells the same kind of story. Residents here receive about 39 minutes of RN time per day, against 46 minutes across Iowa. That is less RN coverage than most Iowa nursing homes. CMS gives Hubbard Care Center a staffing rating of 4 out of 5.

Turnover for the whole nursing team, which counts RNs, LPNs and nurse aides, is 43.1% here compared with 44.3% statewide.

What this means if you apply here

• Higher RN turnover means you may be training alongside newer colleagues. Ask what the facility is doing to keep its nurses.
• RN hours per resident run below the state average, so ask how assignments are built on your shift.
