Overview of Davenport Lutheran Home

Davenport Lutheran Home covers a lot of ground for one address: nursing home care, assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing, all at 1130 W 53rd St in Davenport, Iowa. It’s a single-story, 98-bed community with private and semi-private rooms, built to handle both short-term rehab stays and longer-term residents.

Sixty-six of those 98 beds are currently filled, a 67% occupancy rate. The neighborhood scores 44 on walkability, somewhat walkable, so a handful of errands are doable on foot while most still require a car. Karen Wilson administers the community.

Registered nurses put in about 32 minutes per resident daily. Licensed practical nurses add roughly 55 minutes on top of that. Nurse aides, who handle most of the direct hands-on care, contribute close to three full hours. Add it together and residents are getting nearly five hours of nursing attention every day.

Transportation services and fitness and recreation programming round out the practical side of daily life. There’s a memory care unit here too, built around a secured environment specifically for residents who need that kind of oversight. Coverage-wise, Davenport Lutheran Home takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have several routes to explore for funding care.

On the regulatory side, inspections at facilities like this one tend to focus on infection prevention, care planning and documentation, dietary and food service, and resident rights, the same handful of areas regulators look at across nursing homes generally.

MercyOne Genesis Davenport West Medical Center sits about two miles out, close enough to matter if hospital access is part of the decision. What Davenport Lutheran Home offers, in the end, is real range: multiple care levels, substantial nursing hours behind the numbers, and a dedicated memory care option inside one Davenport campus.

Overview of Ridgecrest Village

Ridgecrest Village opened recently in a three-story building on Northwest Boulevard in Davenport, Iowa, and is still filling out its 82-bed capacity. At 67% occupancy, with 55 of 82 beds filled, it is in the early stages of establishing its census. The average resident stay is 174 days, which puts it squarely in the territory of both post-acute rehab and longer-term skilled nursing.

Total nursing care runs close to four hours per resident per day, with registered nurses contributing 59 minutes of that directly. Nurse aides account for another 2 hours and 26 minutes. For families evaluating nursing coverage as a primary criterion, that’s a concrete number to work with.

The care model centers on rehabilitation and skilled nursing: short-term rehab, respite care, and 24-hour staffing are all confirmed services. Chef-prepared meals are served daily, and the activity calendar addresses varying resident interests. A spa, cafe, and garden round out the on-site amenities. The neighborhood is only somewhat walkable (Walk Score 41), so most outside trips will require transportation.

State inspections have focused primarily on medication management, infection control, dietary practices, and resident rights. The payment picture is straightforward: Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted.

For a facility still building its census, Ridgecrest Village offers a credible staffing foundation and a flexible payment base. It is most directly suited to residents seeking short-term post-acute rehabilitation or structured skilled nursing care in a newer building with a modest amenity set.

Overview of Friendship Manor

Friendship Manor packs a lot into one Rock Island, Illinois address: nursing home care, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, all under one roof at 1209 21st Ave. Thirty-four of its 98 beds are set aside specifically for memory care, which tells you this isn’t an afterthought service tacked onto a general community. 73 of those 98 beds are filled, a 74% occupancy rate. The neighborhood scores 36 on walkability, somewhat walkable, so a few errands are doable on foot but most trips still call for a car.

Registered nurses put in about 42 minutes per resident each day. Licensed practical nurses add roughly 59 minutes on top of that. Nurse aides, who handle the bulk of hands-on daily care, contribute about two hours and 35 minutes. Add it up and residents are getting close to four and a half hours of nursing attention a day, backed by round-the-clock staffing and 24-hour security.

What sets the campus apart is the sheer range of named spaces built into it: Bistro 1209, Ruth’s Country Store, Lounge ’42, and the Sapphire Dining Room aren’t generic amenity checkboxes, they’re distinct venues. There’s also a chapel, a wellness and therapy center, a beauty salon and barber shop, an activity center, and a patio, plus spiritual care for residents who want it. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are available too.

Coverage-wise, Friendship Manor takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which opens up several paths for families sorting out how to fund care. On the regulatory side, inspections here have tended to center on staffing credentials, care planning and documentation, and fall and injury prevention, the same handful of areas regulators watch across nursing homes generally.

Trinity Rock Island Hospital sits under a mile from the campus, which matters if quick hospital access factors into the decision. What Friendship Manor offers is depth: a full range of care levels, real nursing hours behind the numbers, and a campus built more like a small town than a single building.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Iowa?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Iowa Medicaid cover assisted living?

Iowa Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Iowa) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
