Iowa Board Eyes Licensing Move To Upgrade Old Nursing Homes
Iowa Board of Health adopted a licensing change aimed at upgrading or closing about 308 older nursing and custodial care homes. No firm timetable set, but 3 to 5 years was suggested. changes could come sooner if possible. The plan hinges on grandfathered exemptions from 1957 rules and would apply when a home changes ownership, with licenses at risk if standards aren’t met. The board proposes evaluating each facility and detailing required changes with a possible license loss if deadlines are missed.
