Compare Providers

Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.

Mill-Pond vs. On with Life

Care types

What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.

Mill-Pond

Nursing Homes

On with Life

Nursing Homes

Licensed capacity

Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.

Mill-Pond

60 beds or units

On with Life

28 beds or units

License status

The status word the state registry uses, reproduced exactly. We do not translate or grade it.

Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no license status for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.

Mill-Pond

Not established

Iowa's roster carries no status word for this license in the file we read. That is a gap in the file, not a lapsed license.

On with Life

Not established

Iowa's roster carries no status word for this license in the file we read. That is a gap in the file, not a lapsed license.

Published rating

Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.
