Good Samaritan Society - Davenport - Cook Legacy Village

Good Samaritan Society - Davenport, sometimes called Cook Legacy Village or Legacy Village, sits in a peaceful Davenport, Iowa neighborhood, and you'll notice the historic Clarissa Cook mansion right away, since the main building dates back to the early 1880s, and they've kept the first floor true to that era, which some people really appreciate for its sense of history, and inside they've turned the mansion into nine complete apartments for renters aged 55 and up, with garage spaces for each apartment and fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators and ranges for simple meal prep, and the community covers many kinds of senior care needs, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, long-term skilled nursing, Medicare-certified home health care, non-medical home care, adult day services, and even hospice care. The facility allows residents to bring their pets, and has space for dog walks and lawn service, along with maintenance and laundry help so people don't have to worry about the usual chores, and residents can use a fitness center, community room, and common areas on the first floor. The grounds are close to ten parks for outdoor activities, two places of worship, thirteen pharmacies, ten hospitals, many doctors, and twenty-nine restaurants along with a couple cafes. Staff members are described as friendly and kind, always around to help with daily activities, medication, bathing, or dressing needs, and there are specialized care units for anyone who needs a higher level of assistance. They take pride in making nutritious meals with chefs and planners, with attention to keeping everyone well-fed and cared for.
