Welcome to Dunlap Specialty Care

Bright, clean, calm and inviting, it is the vision of what every home should be. A place that is familiar and welcoming…a place to call your home. That is exactly what the residents of Dunlap Specialty Care get, along with the added bonus of having a family of premier healthcare professionals and staff, who are compassionate and caring.

Dunlap Specialty Care is located 45 minutes northeast of Council Bluffs. Overlooking a lake, care center offers both private rooms and semi-private rooms. Our 10-apartment assisted living apartment complex was a wonderful addition in 2007. The outdoor grounds are surrounded by walking paths and we have added several outdoor beautification projects for our residents and guests to enjoy.

We are proud of our nurturing professionals and staff who provide a variety of daily activities offered to our residents. Additionally, community individuals readily volunteer more than 3000 hours of service every year to assist with community outings for our residents and special events at the center.
