Dunlap Specialty Care

Dunlap Specialty Care, also called Dunlap Nursing & Rehab Center, sits at 1403 Harrison Rd in Dunlap, Iowa, and it works as a skilled nursing facility with a non-profit ownership under Care Initiatives, which runs similar places across Iowa, and this community can care for up to 46 residents even though the state has certified it for 57 beds, and usually about 31 people live there each day. Folks there get help with skilled nursing, long-term care, rehabilitation, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as hospice and palliative care, plus the staff takes care of those with memory issues like dementia and even residents who have serious wounds. The building has been updated with better common areas and living spaces so the place feels more like home and lets folks enjoy some fresh air and sunshine in the inviting outdoor spots while 24-hour nursing care and on-site beauty and barber services offer some comfort, and the community serves food in their full-service dining room. Staff at Dunlap speak mostly English, with some who know other languages, and more than 40 team members provide daily care and run activities to help residents stay engaged, both physically and mentally, and keep life interesting with things to do and learn. While Dunlap Specialty Care has a good local reputation and one very positive review, it's seen more deficiencies in its state inspection reports compared to others, with 71 noted in total-including 7 related to infection control-and its nurse staffing at 3.23 hours per resident each day falls a bit below the state average, with a nurse turnover rate a bit higher than most, though the facility still offers a range of services for people who need skilled care, memory support, recovery help, or a long-term place to live. The facility doesn't offer telehealth services, doesn't have extra accreditations listed, and it's not currently accepting new residents. The office opens Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and the staff tries to make the setting supportive and family-like, with a focus on personal care, safety, and activities for everyone living there.
