- Turnover of 54.0% runs above the metro median; ask what share of each shift is agency staff.
- Ask what led to the federal or state fines listed above and whether the underlying problem is closed.
- Occupancy is about 82%; ask which halls have open beds and why.
- CMS lists a resident council; ask when it meets and whether family members may attend.
- If Medicaid may pay later, confirm The Village accepts Iowa Medicaid for long stays and which managed care plans it contracts with.
