Assisted Living Communities in Bettendorf, IA

"I am staying at The Fountains. They are very kind to all their residents. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. They've been very kind to me while I've been looking around and being very willing to work with me. The meals have improved a lot. They have many activities. I don't participate in a lot because I'm in independent living, but they have them. They have a lot of private parties. They offer a lot of different games. They're very kind about taking people to different locations if they wish to go out to different meals."

"My wife is now at Bickford Senior Living. We chose it because it was close to home, and it’s a nice place. It looked fairly new even if it isn’t. It’s clean and well lit and air conditioned properly. They have a lot of programs every day, although I don’t know specifically what they are. Everything is just good. "

"We will be moving to Park Vista Retirement Living North Hill. The tour was good, everybody was nice, the place was very clean, and the apartment that we're getting is really nice. The place itself looks really nice and some parts are pretty fancy. We'll be getting a one-bedroom, and when we move in there the meals will be provided twice a day. They have a beauty shop and barber shop, they have amenities, and all kinds of stuff. They have a place to exercise, a library, and what they call a pub. They have lots of different places and things to do there, so it's just nice. The guy that showed us around was very, very nice, and very accommodating. We get a housekeeper every other week, the utilities are included, and all the meals are included."

"I am leaning towards Ridgecrest Village because they have a program where once you're there and you can live independently (you have the different options of care after that), they can't kick you out. You pay a fee upfront to do that, but that's fine. The people were very helpful and accommodating as far as giving me a tour of the facilities. They even treated me to lunch one day and the food was OK. They have an exercise room, which is kind of important to me, and a library. The facility was very clean. I gave them high marks for that. It was well-maintained. It's near a mall and there were restaurants in that area."

"We went to Davenport Lutheran Home. It was very nice. It was smaller than the other facilities, but in a good way because the hallways weren't as long. It was very homey. The apartments were actually good size. They had a full kitchen, which I thought was nice too. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and very accommodating. She answered questions. The dining area was fine, but we didn't have any of the food. The staff was telling us about some of the activities they offer. They have different musical things playing. There's a little area where you can sit and watch movies, either on your own or with friends. You can play cards. There were different activities there. It was a much smaller facility, but it was kind of more homey. It was nice."

"We placed my mother-in-law in Fort Armstrong. It is nice, close by, and we have church members who are also staying there. The staff is very friendly, and I notice that they care about the residents. The nurse that we deal with is very concerned and caring about my mom. She knows my mother-in-law has dementia, and they know she is feisty. They help us to go about her finances, and they talk to her doctor about her medical records. My mother-in-law is in an apartment, and we are able to place a love seat, a sofa, a recliner, and her TV. She has a room for her twin size bed and a dresser with a mirror. She has a closet and a shower. My husband enjoys the food. They had activities like singing, dancing, and bingo. We recommended them to my husband's friend. "

"The people that run Holiday Palmer Hills have been super nice and super easy to work with. They've been excellent. They encouraged mom a lot to make the change a little easier. Her room is nice. I think it's perfect for her needs and she seems to like it. We did a few touch-ups before she moved in and they got that done right away. They helped her out, like getting her cable TV and internet worked. So they've been pretty good so far. She says the food is good. They got a restaurant-style dining area and it seems very clean and nice. They have a calendar of events that she can participate in if she wants to. It's just an older building, but nothing major. As far as the price goes, they've done pretty well and they even worked with us."

"I thought the assisted living facility was amazing. The entire building felt very homey and sweet. From the moment I walked into the lobby, I felt like I was in a house rather than some place clinical. They have a big lobby with a fireplace, lots of comfy chairs, and a few radios. The residents seemed to congregate in the lobby's to meet up and talk and they all seemed really comfortable and at home. In the dining area, it felt more like a big dining room instead of a cafeteria. The residents all work with the staff to set the tables for dinner and they get to pick from a small menu that is changed daily. But the best thing about this assisted living home was the staff. They were all very friendly and treated the guests like friends they haven't seen in a while, rather than people they're paid to look after. It was a great experience that I would be happy to have a loved one stay at. "

"Friendship Manor is in Rock Island and is close to my mother's family. It was clean, most of the people seemed friendly, and they had all the different facilities. The rooms were nice, and the staff members who gave me the tour were very good and helpful. They had activity areas, therapy areas, and they had nice little outdoor areas so when it's good weather you can go to and watch birds."

"I love this place! They have an overall great staff, everyone is so welcoming and helpful! They also have a lot of fun activities for all the residents so that is also a plus! I definelty recommend this place."

"I am 79, and I have been here for close to 1. 75 years. All placements were investigated. This community is sold I am [n the independent.apartment. The residents here are very inclusive and we care about each other. Kindness is the spirit of Heritage Court , the apartment staff are family and always come to us when needed.. I do not know of any other facility that is affordable, especially when the daily meal is elected. My apartment is bright with nice windows and artificial light ideally placed. Nothing here has disappointed me."

"Grand Haven was large and open. The room was big, so Mom could put in her own belongings. She would have her own bathroom, and she could bring in her own bed. The place was very good. They always have activities going on like trips. They would have 3 meals plus snacks. They can have ice cream any time they want, and they can also have any kind of food if they're hungry at any time. It was very good talking with the people there. They were very upbeat and all were saying "hi" to Mom. The residents can also help grow the garden and grow their own vegetables."

"The thing that I liked the best about Avonlea was it was a small community and had what I felt would be what we needed. It had a good location, nice property, and nice rooms. The price was good. They had a TV lounge, receiving area, and meals. "
