Overview of The Summit at Bettendorf

The Summit at Bettendorf offers nursing home and skilled nursing care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Bettendorf, IA. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps an apartment. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Because the community offers multiple care levels, it may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community. With 40 beds, The Summit at Bettendorf is a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Housing includes studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments; a studio provides a single private space, while a two bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.

Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while Medicaid can help when savings may not cover a long stay. Total nurse staffing is 4h 38m per resident/day, representing the daily hands on nurse time allocated per resident; pets are allowed, and Chelsey Killean serves as the administrator.
