Questions families ask about this page

How many facilities were evaluated in Johnston, IA?

This page evaluates 3 eligible nursing homes in Johnston, IA and shows the top 3.

How are these rankings calculated?

Facilities are ranked by CMS overall rating first. Ties are broken by fewer penalties, then health inspection rating, then staffing rating.

Should I rely on these rankings alone?

No. Use the rankings to narrow the field, then review facility profiles, confirm details directly with the provider, and get professional guidance for the care decision.

What do the CMS data and inspection dates mean?

CMS data: August 2026. The inspection date is the latest standard health inspection reported in the CMS survey summary, including inspections with no deficiencies.

Listings absent from the latest imported CMS provider release remain available on the platform but are excluded from current rankings.
