Assisted Living Communities in Bettendorf, IA

"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. "

"Park Vista is probably the best. It is favored by myself and my brothers. We had a good interaction with the staff members. The dining area is very nice. Activities are standard-like but they are the ones that keep the residents active and keep them from going outside the place. The place is very clean, too."

"The nursing staff is very caring and compassionate. We were concerned about my Mom feeling welcomed, but we need not have been so worried. The meals are excellent, the social activities keep Mom in the loop, and the communication is excellent with us when issues or concerns have come up. "

"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. "

"Mom is currently living at Silvercrest, for a couple of weeks now, and she was very pleasantly surprised with their apartments. There are several different styles and sizes. There was one that she really liked, and it was available, and that is the reason why she chose this facility. The facility was very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. So far, they have been extremely helpful, and every time she asks questions or requires anything, they have been very prompt in responding or giving her what she needs. Mom eats dinner there, and she enjoys the food. They have quite a few activities available, but Mom has not participated in any of them yet. "

"Lighthouse at Silvis was a nice but very expensive place. I saw a 1-bedroom with a stove and a refrigerator, and it was all furnished. I know they serve meals, and there's a nurse on duty all the time. The place was very clean and very well kept up. "

"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 have been here at Heritage Woods for about five months. It’s very nice and clean, and it’s like brand new. Everything is shipshape, just really in good condition. The staff is wonderful. I had a death in my life a week ago with my 8-year-old granddaughter and they were so good to me and made sure that I got everything I needed as far as food when I didn’t want to leave my room to eat. They were very caring about that. They have things to do here every day and every week. The bus goes out to the shopping for the people that want to go and they have cards, brain, and guessing games like titles of songs, and it’s just something all the time if you want to do it. Their food is from a menu I would assume from the government and they have to follow a guideline of what to cook. The meals are mediocre, but it’s something you have to adjust. "

"My brother moved into Good Samaritan Society - Davenport. It is good for all incomes since my brother was low income. They have a great staff there. Very clean. They have a reading room, so they have a library, a television room, and an activities room. They work hard with a short amount of staff."

"The rooms at Grand Haven were excellent. The staff were great. There were less men. I previewed the memory care unit, and they were just eating at a table, so I was not so impressed with the memory care unit. But other than that, it was 5-star. I would like to see a little more interaction on the memory care unit than what I saw, but I guess it was just the timing of my visit. "

"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. "

"I am a friend of one of the seniors living in the facility. It seems like a wonderful place to live. The staff is always friendly and helps when needed. I enjoyed coming to the happy hour they have every friday afternoon. The activities and atmosphere of the facility is somewhere I would want to be when I retire! "

"I have been in this facility many times. The staff is friendly and caring. The residents are always busy doing something. The food is wonderful! When I'm ready for assisted living, this will be the place I go. "

"Woodridge Supportive Living is a new facility. They managed to get dad a 1-bedroom. My mom chose this facility, but now she doesn't want to be there. She doesn't like the food, so I guess the food is not good. But the place is nice. They have a nice dining room and they sit down at assigned table and the food is brought to them. I really like the place and I love the people. If they can put up with mom, they're exceptional. She's not very pleasant, but my dad was extremely pleasant. The facility also have a salon, a library, a movie room or theater where they can watch movies. They also have activities and they have groups that come in and do sing-alongs. I think the only thing that's really too bad is they can't find good kitchen cooks. "
