MercyOne Centerville Medical Center

Nestled in the heart of southern Iowa, MercyOne Centerville Medical Center provides trusted skilled nursing care to residents of Centerville and the surrounding Appanoose County region. Located on St. Joseph Drive, this facility carries the legacy of MercyOne's Catholic, church-related mission — a commitment to caring for the whole person with dignity, compassion, and clinical excellence that has defined the MercyOne health system for generations. As a non-profit, faith-rooted organization, MercyOne Centerville Medical Center reinvests its resources directly into patient care and community health rather than shareholder returns. Families can take comfort knowing their loved one is receiving skilled nursing services from a team whose values are grounded in service and human dignity. The skilled nursing care offered here encompasses post-acute rehabilitation, wound care, medication management, and 24-hour nursing supervision — tailored to each resident's individualized care plan. Centerville itself is a welcoming small city with a surprisingly vibrant community life. The town is anchored by one of the largest courthouse squares in the United States, surrounded by locally-owned shops, diners, and the historic Appanoose County Courthouse. Families visiting loved ones will find comfortable dining options and everyday essentials close by, including the local Walmart Supercenter on Highway 2. For outdoor recreation, the stunning Rathbun Lake — Iowa's largest lake by surface area — lies just minutes to the north, offering scenic drives, birdwatching, and peaceful lakeside walks perfect for residents and visiting families alike. For higher-acuity medical needs, Ottumwa Regional Health Center is located approximately 30 miles north in Ottumwa, Iowa's regional hub, providing a full range of specialty and emergency services. Centerville's close-knit atmosphere, combined with MercyOne's commitment to faith-based, compassionate care, makes this facility a meaningful choice for families seeking skilled nursing support they can trust.
