Good Samaritan Society - Davenport sits at 700 Waverly Rd in Davenport, Iowa, with four main buildings, including a renovated 1927 sanitarium that now supports nursing care, and you'll see that the campus holds 44 senior living apartments and 205 nursing care beds, all made for seniors who want a safe and helpful place to live. The senior apartments, especially Heritage Court at Schuetzen Park, give folks a mix of independence and support, where they can pick from one- or two-bedroom setups, take part in community life, keep small pets, and enjoy cable TV and Wi-Fi, and when you want a bit less pressure about chores, there are services like trash and snow removal, routine interior and exterior help, paid utilities, and scheduled rides to get around town.
You'll find some people come for assisted living, others for long-term or short-term nursing care, or even for a trial stay if they're not quite ready to move in for good. Many residents use in-home care, with support for daily needs, along with post-surgery help, medication instruction, wound care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus home health services through Services@Home. You get safety features like personal emergency response systems and secured entrances, plus scheduled local rides and fall risk reduction events to help folks avoid accidents, along with health assessments and environmental risk checks for extra peace of mind.
There's a dedicated Alzheimer's care unit locked for safety, more open settings for independent people, and even a full geriatric rehabilitation center that handles stroke recovery and similar rehab needs, along with pain therapy and respite care. The old Heritage Court blends independent living with non-medical support-so folks can join devotional programs that aren't tied to one religion, use the library or fitness rooms for indoor hobbies, walk the scenic trails when the weather's good, or just gather for group meals and activities, both on-site and off.
Community life goes on, with common areas for meeting up, regular spiritual programs, and a steady list of recreational options organized each week, plus maintenance-free living so you don't need to worry much about repairs or yard work. Some seniors like knowing that the Iowa Health Care Association and Iowa Center for Assisted Living recognize the place as a partner, and since the nonprofit Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society runs the community, you know there's experience behind the care delivery.
Nurses and care staff handle incontinence, help those who can't walk without aid, manage diabetes, and organize health programs or screenings like the Falls Prevention event at Heritage Court. Meals are provided and tailored for senior diets, with private or semi-private rooms if someone prefers less or more company; there's help arranging transportation, and someone's always there during weekday office hours if questions come up or if someone wants a tour. In short, folks here find a blend of living options, health services, and a bit of company when they want it-whether they need more hands-on help or just less to think about during the day.
