Frequently Asked Questions About Assisted Living in Iowa

How many assisted living facilities are in Iowa?
Iowa has 438 licensed assisted living facilities. Of these, 143 have documented violations on file, and 278 have clean inspection records. Data is sourced from Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals inspection records.
How often are assisted living facilities inspected in Iowa?
Iowa inspections are conducted by Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals. Most assisted living facilities are subject to annual unannounced surveys, plus complaint-driven investigations. All reports reviewed by The Care Audit become part of each facility's public record.
What should I look for in an inspection report?
Look for the number of citations, their severity level, whether financial penalties were imposed, and whether deficiencies were corrected on follow-up. Repeat violations across multiple surveys are a significant red flag. Facilities with zero citations have passed all inspections in the reviewed period.
What are the most common violations at assisted living facilities in Iowa?
Common violations include medication management errors, inadequate staffing ratios, failure to maintain individualized care plans, and physical plant or fire safety deficiencies. The Care Audit shows the full citation history for each facility.
Is The Care Audit affiliated with Iowa government?
No. The Care Audit is an independent public resource. All data is sourced directly from official state health department inspection records and made available as a free public service.
