Independent Living Communities in Bettendorf, IA

"I'm in Iowa Masonic Health Facilities. The food is good, and they take good care of me. They have a nursing staff. They have lots of nice activities like bingo, crafts, and movies. I'm in skilled nursing, and my room is very nice and they keep it very clean. The staff is very helpful. The atmosphere is friendly."

"We toured The Summit at Bettendorf. We saw some of the memory care and some of the others, but independent living is what we were interested in. I was very impressed with the community. The independent living apartments are especially nice, with larger square footage than some of the others. You get more bang for your buck kind of thing. The activities and the socialization possibilities are better. The physical activity possibilities are top-notch with free classes. The physical director handles everything as far as activities and gives them exercises to strengthen certain things, and I love that. I also love the fact that they could get their meals any time of day, and they weren't stuck with whatever the meal of the day was. They could pick off a menu and it's included with the monthly fee. If they were gone in the middle of the day or the evening and they missed the main meal like they would in some of the other places, they wouldn't have to worry about it and they could just get it whenever. It's lovely. It's very clean. The staff is very courteous and helpful."

"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."

"Silvercrest Garner was at the top for us and was the best. It was not a brand-new building, but the maintenance and upkeep refreshed constantly. Everything was in great condition, and they are even doing additional maintenance for us on anything that we requested to have done. We were very impressed with the food and our mother enjoyed it, as well. They provided us with an incentive when we inquired as to a possible discount. It is a great value for what is included, so we are quite happy with it. Everybody on the staff as outstanding, and the residents were engaged, happy, friendly, and outgoing. "

"My mom is a resident of Crosstown Square. They've been wonderful to my mother. It's changed in ten years because it wasn't the nicest place when she started there. They've remodeled since she's been there. There's a lot of pluses. There are some minuses, but they did a nice job there. The staff was excellent. I wish they would get a new heating system. I enjoyed their food. They do have good food. She plays cards. She plays bingo, does happy hour, does crafts, and goes on all the trips they take. They do have nice activities there. It was high expense-wise, but my mom has been very happy there, so you can't put a price tag on that."

"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. "

"My parents will be moving in to Liberty Village of Geneseo this March 22nd. We chose them because the size of the town is smaller, and my dad can still hopefully drive around for a little while. We couldn't go in because of COVID. We just sat outside with the director and she was so helpful in answering my questions and talking to my parents. They're going in for the independent living, but they have assisted living and memory care if we need it. We went into one empty apartment that they were getting ready to get painted. The apartment was just normal, but they had a courtyard in the middle, and I liked that idea. I liked that kind of a neighborhood feel. The location was great because even though Geneseo is a small town, it has a hospital, so I liked that a lot."

"My father-in-law is at Park Vista Retirement Living. I like that they're always there. It's very clean. The food is amazing. It's a restaurant type. They have a main meal, but you can order what you want, even if it's not for that day. You could even order meatloaf and it's a full meal. Then they come back and ask if you want more. The maintenance guy was amazing. He came to help hang up stuff. They made it stress-free to move in. They had carts to help move in and they offered to help. We moved in before we started paying rent, so there was no stress. He moved in on a Thursday, and on Friday, he attended music. They had a guy playing music and was singing there. He went down and had a good time. He keeps talking about that. Everything that they said they offered, they offered. So, they are worth the money for peace of mind, safety, cleanliness, and the ability to be in a community of people, which is very important, but one of the main reasons we picked them is because their nursing staff is there. We checked out all the places that we went but when it came to how many residents there were to how many nursing staff, CNAs, and helpers, Park Vista Retirement Living offered us the most comfort that my father-in-law would be able to get help if he needed it."

"I toured Sarah Harding, and then decided not to go. But I was ready to go there. It's independent living. I think if you can't get around yourself or take care of yourself, then you have to go somewhere. They want independent people there. It's very friendly, it's neat and clean. They have laundry facilities. You don't have a stove, so they've got a microwave, and a refrigerator. Activities are outstanding. They got an activities director, and they got their own bus. If I understand it, I think the bus will take you to doctor's appointments if you need that, and the bus also goes to out-of-town trips and places. I rode their bus one time; they were going to Rock Island to Circa 21 for a play. The activities director has got things going all the time at Sarah Harding. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They're good people."

"I have been living in Countryside for five years now. It is quite handy. We have mail delivery inside. We have a laundrymat inside. The people are great. The staff is very friendly and very hopeful. I do my own cleaning inside the apartment, and they keep the outside clean. I also do my own cooking. We have a community room where we do what we want to do like bingo or play games. We also have a computer room. "

"Regency Retirement was a really nice community and with apartment-style units that vary in size. They had all the amenities, as far as laundry and garage. The people needed to go out for doctor’s appointments, but it was a nice facility. Some of the rooms were spacious. She looked at two bedrooms and couple of smaller ones. They seemed very neat and clean. "

"The rooms are small at Good Samaritan Society Prophets Riverview. It is a small facility. The food is good, and the staff is excellent. It is very clean. They are always there to give assistance. It has a very good atmosphere. "
