Iowa — assisted living inspection records

Every facility the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, Health Facilities Division (DIAL) licenses as an assisted living program, with the rules from its inspections and complaint investigations since September 2021. DIAL recertifies an assisted living program every two years, with complaint and incident investigations in between. DIAL's database lists every visit to a program since 2004, with the rules cited at each; these pages use the last five years and count the rest.

Not in this record: Fire and life safety inspection, severity, the survey report, and enforcement. The fire safety inspection of an Iowa assisted living program is the State Fire Marshal's and is not published; what DIAL itself cites about the building — its structural requirements, the dwelling-unit rules for dementia-specific programs and the fire and safety standards of the Code — is here. DIAL assigns no severity to a citation, and the survey report itself is published only as a scanned image, which is not read. Fines, conditional certifications and other enforcement actions are recorded separately and not republished. Elder group homes and adult day services are other certification types and are not included.
