Integrated Health Svc

Integrated Health Svc has several locations, including Coralville, Ankeny, Milford, Clarinda, Council Bluffs, and others, where they offer many different care options and services, and there's one place called Guthrie County Hospital Clinic that's hospital-affiliated and some places work as a Federally Qualified Health Center or a Rural Health Center, and they offer independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and home care services, which means seniors can pick what they need most, and some places allow pets like cats and dogs and have amenities such as Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, a beauty salon, trips, field trips, and a full-time activity director on top of having staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily activities, and folks using a wheelchair or needing handicap access have some spots fitted just for them. They have care for people wanting more independence and for those needing more help, and their network offers memory care spaces that help reduce confusion and prevent wandering. There's also community-based and outpatient options, medication help, and trips and outings to keep life interesting. People with different backgrounds can get support here, because they have multilingual staff and several providers with credentials like IA MENTAL HEALTH, and there are extended day hours where some care can happen early in the morning or in the evening. Nurses and specialized staff help with all sorts of health needs, mental health, substance use recovery, and primary care, plus lab work like clinical microbiology, serology, and molecular diagnostics, and they're set up for testing water, outdoor air, pools, and even environmental items like asbestos or food emergencies, sometimes using high-level machines like gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and HPLC. Some locations get added oversight with certifications-like CLIA and CARF-and labs hold more specific credentials for things like the Iowa CLIA Laboratory Program and IDNR Laboratory Certification. Senior living and care means more than just beds and meals here, since there are screenings for mothers and newborns, biological monitoring services, and training for healthcare workers and students. People can visit for care in person or use telehealth and telemedicine, so there's flexibility, and the nursing home side focuses on keeping people comfortable, active, and safe, with activities, outings, and a pet-friendly policy at some sites to help keep spirits up. This is a place that tries to match each person to the right help, whether that's serious medical care, help with everyday things, or just wanting to live somewhere with people nearby and some trips and fun things, and with locations in Clarinda, Council Bluffs, and more, seniors and families looking around Iowa find options for different health and living needs.
