Exira Care Center

Nestled in the heart of Audubon County, Exira Care Center provides dedicated skilled nursing care to seniors in and around Exira, Iowa. Located at 411 South Carthage, this community sits at the center of a welcoming small-town environment where residents are known by name and neighbors genuinely look out for one another — values that carry directly into the care provided within these walls. As a nonprofit corporation, Exira Care Center operates with a mission-first philosophy rather than a profit-driven one. That distinction matters: resources go toward staffing, programming, and resident comfort rather than shareholder returns. Families can take confidence in knowing that the people running this facility are committed to the community they serve, many of whom have deep roots in Audubon County themselves. The skilled nursing services at Exira Care Center are designed to support residents with complex medical needs, post-acute recovery, and long-term care requirements. Licensed nursing staff provide around-the-clock attention, coordinating with physicians and specialists to manage chronic conditions, rehabilitation goals, and transitions from hospital to home or long-term placement. Exira's rural character is a genuine asset for seniors who value peaceful surroundings and a slower pace. The Exira City Park offers green space and fresh air just steps from the facility. The nearby county seat of Audubon — approximately 12 miles north — provides access to the Audubon County Hospital for specialist consultations and emergency services, as well as local dining at spots like the Pines Restaurant and everyday shopping along Main Street. For families driving in from Atlantic to the east, the 20-mile corridor along U.S. Highway 44 is straightforward and well-maintained year-round. Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic also serves as a regional medical resource for residents requiring more specialized care. Atlantic's downtown square, home to locally owned shops and restaurants, gives visiting families a comfortable place to spend time before or after visits. For families seeking skilled nursing care in western Iowa's Audubon County, Exira Care Center offers the rare combination of clinical competence and small-town warmth.
