Solon Nursing Care Center holds a 5-star overall rating, in the top tier CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 55% is well above the Iowa average of 44%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
