Avonlea Cottage of Quad Cities I sits in Milan, Illinois, and offers both assisted living and specialized memory care for people aged 55 and up. The community has a secure setup with a purpose-built environment, especially for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and there's round-the-clock support with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and medication management done by licensed staff. Residents can pick between private suites, shared rooms, or studio apartments, all fully furnished with private bathrooms, senior-friendly showers with seats, kitchenettes, carpeted floors, climate control units, and big windows for lots of sunlight, while a personal emergency response system gives an extra layer of safety.
Housekeeping, laundry service, and maintenance take care of chores, so people don't need to worry about cleaning or cooking, since three home-cooked meals and snacks get served daily, and dietary needs like allergies or diabetes are accommodated by staff and supported by a medical director. Residents keep busy with a full-time activity director who arranges trips, field outings, and a mix of entertainment, movement activities, movie nights, devotional gatherings, and social events that include walks around the enclosed courtyard and communal gardens or relaxing on the covered porches and lounges. The facility's memory care program focuses on early to middle-stage dementia with activities designed for mental stimulation, specialized focus centers, and dedicated staff who understand memory loss, all set in a secure home-like cottage style with small, personalized rooms.
People here have access to things like a library, arts room, beauty salon, cable TV, telephone, internet, and plenty of common spaces for family visits or group gatherings, plus some resident-run activities for more involvement. Pets are allowed under certain rules, and the community provides wheelchair accessibility and non-ambulatory support, moving help, diabetic care, incontinence management, and 24-hour nursing on campus. Every suite or room comes equipped with utilities, TV and phone hookups, and individual climate control. The place runs with a state license, requests an entry fee, and uses all-inclusive pricing to cover services, and allows residents to choose levels of care, support, and independence to fit their needs.
