What the CMS Record Reveals About MercyOne Dyersville Senior Care

MercyOne Dyersville Senior Care operates 40 certified beds in Dyersville, IA with approximately 27 residents currently in care, and carries a CMS overall rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The overall score is a composite of three weighted sub-ratings published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services: health inspection results (5★), staffing levels (5★), and quality measures (3★). Because CMS caps the overall score at the health-inspection tier and then adjusts up or down based on staffing and quality, the sub-scores often tell a sharper story than the headline star count alone — a 3-star facility with weak inspection history reads differently from one held back by thin staffing.

The inspection file contains 6 deficiency records from recent surveys, all falling in the no-harm or minimal-harm bands of the CMS scope-and-severity grid. No fines or payment denials have been assessed against this provider, suggesting issues — if any — did not rise to the enforcement threshold. Staffing is reported at 4.41 total nursing hours per resident day (national average 3.89), with RN coverage at 1.19 per resident day — the single staffing metric most strongly tied to resident outcomes in peer-reviewed literature.

Classified as "Non profit - Corporation" ownership and operating as a "Medicaid" provider embedded within a hospital campus, MercyOne Dyersville Senior Care falls into a category where comparative context matters. National research consistently shows that ownership structure, staffing hours, and turnover are the three operational levers that correlate most strongly with resident outcomes — ratings and fines are lagging indicators of those upstream choices. Reported nursing turnover at this facility is 43.2%, within a range generally associated with stable care teams. For families evaluating this facility, the CMS record should be read alongside a site visit, direct conversation with current residents and their families, and review of the state health department's most recent inspection report — the star rating is a starting point, not a verdict.
