Ninth Street Place sits at 2850 9 St in Rock Island, IL, and when you get there, you'll notice the well-marked bus stop out front with a simple shelter, some signage, nice trees, and a couple of seats, plus shops close by for folks passing through. This place stands out for being a senior community that welcomes people who want housing and care, whether they're still active or need a little more help, offering assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, residential care home options, and board and care, so there's a place for different needs, including short-term respite care for caregivers who need a break. They help residents with daily things like meals, getting around, medication, and personal care, and what's more, they allow pets, which is good for people who like animal company.
There's a medical care center on-site that takes care of physical rehab, skilled nursing, dentistry and dental cleaning, eye tests, mental health help like seeing a psychiatrist or counselor, and even offers massage and physiotherapy, and if you need hospice care, they do that, too. The place also covers other needs-nutrition advice, path lab, genetic clinic, and alternative treatments like homeopathy, holistic medicine, or naturopath care, plus pharmacy, and regular doctor visits. Ninth Street Place also has a nursery, preschool, kindergarten, and even elementary education, all right there on the grounds, which is unusual for most senior homes, and in addition, there are wellness classes, a fitness center with everything from yoga to Zumba, a spa, sauna, a swimming pool, a tennis court and a golf course if you want to keep moving.
It's worth noting that there's a veterinary clinic and a pet shop, so pets stay healthy, and you don't have to go off-site for most stuff because there are stores for groceries, books, furniture, office supplies, even jewelry and clothing, plus a bakery, deli, liquor store, and a café, so folks can get a coffee and pastry without leaving home and if you need signs made or want to get a haircut or a new tattoo, well, you can, because they offer all those services, too. For those who love flowers, there are many floral services-a shop with delivery, flowers for special occasions like birthdays and weddings, and even funeral and sympathy arrangements, which is thoughtful when you have a community of different ages and life situations. Ninth Street Place also covers funeral, cremation, memorial work with floristry and their own mortician.
There are amenities for the everyday things as well, like a library, print shop, movie theater, dance and music school, barbershop, party and catering services, bar, wine cellar, hotel and beauty hotel, antique and secondhand store, sports shop, plus a pharmacist and dietary supplement outlet, making the place more than just a home-it's a little village for seniors, so people don't need to leave for most things. Payment options cover private insurance, military or VA benefits, and self-pay with cash or check, which can make things simpler. Ninth Street Place feels a bit like its own town, with care and support for seniors who want independence, company, and help right at hand.
