Carlisle Center

VIA Health Services brings you the best inpatient and outpatient care in Central Iowa. We are staffed 24/7 with registered nurses to provide patients with the rehabilitation and medical support they need to regain their function and health.

We coordinate with a number of community hospice providers to provide "end of life" care for patients in our spacious Hospice Suites to accommodate our patients' families. We also provide respite care services to give caregivers time off from their services.

Our Carlisle location has a continuous care center and an intensive memory unit for patients that require more specialized and attentive care.

For serious health conditions, injuries, and illnesses, VIA Health Services has a wealth of experience and treatment options for you at our Carlisle, IA location. Our specialty staff can help you get the care you need so you can return to your normal life again. The average patient stay for our therapy services is 15 days!

Our Carlisle facility also houses a chronic confusion and dementing illness unit that gives your loved one with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other cognitive conditions with the attention and care they need in a safe and comfortable environment.

Along with our extended care services for patients requiring a more permanent setting for their medical needs, we also provide respite care so that family caregivers may have some much-needed time off from their duties.

When you trust your health or the care of a loved one to VIA Health Services, you can always count on getting the best in amenities, personnel, and facilities in central Iowa. Whether you require inpatient rehabilitative care or more permanent extensive care services, we are ready to exceed your expectations.
