Fleur Heights faces Iowa worst staffing compliance record
Staffing studies reveal concealed profits as Fleur Heights nursing home repeatedly fell short of staffing requirements. Inspectors reported as few as four nurse aides for 81 residents, citing insufficient staff in May 2023 through February 2024. The facility, owned by Kevin Babb and Dr. Robert Conner, plans to hire more staff while CMS already rates it three stars for staffing. The broader debate over federal minimum staffing standards and industry pushback contextualizes the case, with concerns over care quality and financial practices.
