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 72% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 11 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.
Harmony Cedar Rapids receives polarized feedback, with many short-term rehab patients praising the therapy team and staff responsiveness, while several long-term care families report serious concerns regarding neglect and poor communication. While the facility is frequently described as clean and well-staffed for recovery, the recurring reports of medical oversights and dismissive management suggest a significant inconsistency in the quality of care provided.

Key Review Excerpts
“Harmony caused my mom to regress rather than improve during a short term transition stay after a fall that landed her in the hospital. They dropped the ball on many aspects of her care.”
“They neglected my brother with Parkinson’s and he died in their care! Do not put your loved ones in this facility!!! They did not put him on bite sized diet, no speech therapy!”
“The therapists challenged me every day and it payed off in the end as I am stronger than when I first arrived in both mind and body. Even the food was good!”
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 6 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.
