Overview of The Fountains

The Fountains is a senior living community in Bettendorf, Iowa, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care on one campus. That range matters for families thinking past the immediate decision, because a resident whose needs change over time can often move between levels of care without leaving a familiar building and staff. The community has been in operation for 20 years and is administered by Cj Ward. With 136 beds in a mid-rise building, it sits among the larger communities in the area.

Housing runs from studios to one and two bedroom apartments. Independent living suites are set up for people who want to keep a full household routine, with complete kitchens, private bathrooms, walk-in closets, internet access, and in-unit laundry. Assisted living apartments add support with meals and housekeeping for residents who need a hand with daily tasks. Memory care and Alzheimer’s care are provided in a secure setting, and the community is pet friendly throughout.

Daily life centers on shared spaces: a restaurant-style dining room, a fitness center, a lounge, an ice cream parlor, and a chapel. The activities calendar includes religious services, dance classes, workout sessions, and game nights, and the community also offers transportation services along with fitness and recreation programming.

The setting is suburban and quiet, about four miles from Bettendorf’s city center, with MercyOne Genesis Bettendorf Emergency Care just over a mile away. The neighborhood scores 4 out of 100 for walkability, so residents and visitors will rely on a car or the community’s transportation for errands and appointments. For families in the Quad Cities area, the location keeps a hospital close at hand while placing the community away from busier commercial corridors.
