These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 63% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 16 findings, above the IA average of 6.2. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Adel Acres is consistently praised for its compassionate intake process and a warm, home-like environment. Reviewers frequently highlight the kindness of the nursing and administrative staff, noting that the facility is well-maintained and clean.

Key Review Excerpts
“The intake process with Grace was kind, compassionate and supportive of their dignity at a time of growing dependence.”
“I walk in and the place smells like Grandma's house. Good food cooking, clean linen, people watching a little TV or taking a nap.”
“I've never met so many kind, genuinely caring people in one facility in my life.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 4 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
