Although boarding homes are not considered health facilities, they are managed by DIA's Health Facilities Division.
Iowa law requires boarding homes to register with DIA. A facility is considered a boarding home if it rents rooms to three or more individuals who require supervision or assistance completing everyday tasks (bathing, dressing, using the toilet, eating, etc.).
Owners, operators, and managers of Iowa boarding homes may register their buildings electronically by filling out the boarding home registration form. Boarding homes are covered in Iowa Code Chapter 135O.
Registered Boarding Homes
Below is a list of currently registered boarding homes with DIA. Those who wish to register a boarding home can do so via the department's boarding home registration form.
