Centerville Specialty Care sits at 1208 E Cross St in Centerville, Iowa, and stands as part of the Care Initiatives network, which is Iowa's largest nonprofit provider for skilled nursing and long-term care, and boy, over the years it really seems to have become a steady place for those needing ongoing support, with a 67-bed capacity for skilled nursing and long-term care, and a particular focus on serving a range of healthcare needs-especially transitional health services, rehabilitation, and end-of-life hospice care. The team of over 50 staff members aims to make things comfortable, offering choices in studio room layouts, and keeping things home-like, with activities built in to keep folks' minds and bodies engaged, whether someone wants social gatherings or quiet times, and they do run all hours of the day and week, so care's always available if you need it.
Centerville Specialty Care offers skilled nursing care for both short-term rehab and longer-term stays, and also covers specialty and hospice care, supporting families through difficult transitions, which some might find a comfort. There's a range of programs that try to focus on each person's dignity and keep care personalized, and they even have telehealth services now, which helps some people deal with health matters from their room. It's a place where you'll find people serious about improving, with the whole place run under the values of compassion, integrity, teamwork, and a drive to keep getting better, though it's worth knowing they don't currently take new patients, so space is limited.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have given the nursing home a 1-star rating out of 5, something folks might want to consider and look into, though on some other scales the community averages about 8.3 out of 10, making it the second-highest rated option in Centerville, and while there's no outside accreditation verified for special standards, daily operations seem focused on both physical and mental engagement, with everything from daily programs to therapy and respite care available for the 46 residents they're licensed to serve. So, while Centerville Specialty Care doesn't promise perfection, it keeps up the goal of being there for people as their needs change, and offers a steady, familiar setting with a sincere approach to care.
