The Jackson Renaissance sits at 1420 W 16th St in Davenport, Iowa, where you'll find an independent living community offering a wide range of care and services for seniors, and it does that in a building with a bit of history, since half the 48 modern apartments are in the old Jackson School Building and the rest are in a newer three-story wing attached right next to it, so some folks like that mix of old and new. The apartments come in both one- and two-bedroom layouts, all set up with full kitchens that include a stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and an in-unit washer and dryer, so residents can handle their laundry right at home, and the rooms have high ceilings and big windows that let in a lot of natural light, along with ceiling fans, which some people find keeps things feeling fresh. They've put some thought into energy-saving features like geothermal heating, high-efficiency toilets and furnaces, plus central air for when it gets warm, and they used low-VOC paints and installed a new irrigation system outside, so it feels pretty eco-friendly.
The staff provide a higher level of service, including help with daily activities, managing medications, meal prep, and personal care for those who need it, and they offer different care options like assisted living, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care if someone only needs a short stay, and even skilled nursing services, plus there are residential care home options and in-home care for folks wanting help while staying in their own place, so families can get guidance and recommendations from advisors who'll help find what fits best. The secure, gated complex has perimeter fencing all the way around, with full-time on-site staff and maintenance workers, and the common areas, party rooms, and social spaces are always kept clean, making it easy for residents to host events or just enjoy time together, and pets like cats and dogs are allowed. There are activity programs, a fitness center, a computer room, and a shared community space for people looking for things to do together, and the management says they check reviews to make sure they're real before sharing them, which some folks appreciate when looking up details. The apartments are designed to feel comfortable, blending smart design with handy extras for daily life, and there's a steady effort to support people in living on their own terms, with social opportunities to keep up an active, connected lifestyle, whether someone wants independent living, assisted help, or memory support.
