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.
