Overall Review of Good Samaritan Society - Davenport

differentiator 3 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy is a strong point

Rehab therapy is described as active and goal-focused for residents in care.

Residents in the rehab setting describe physical and occupational therapy that staff work hard on, with an emphasis on meeting goals. Another review specifically highlights the rehab unit on site, reinforcing that therapy is a core part of the experience. At the same time, one family member says therapy later stopped, tied to care paperwork and appeal issues, which may affect consistency.

common 9 reviews mention this

Cleanliness comes up often

Many residents and visitors describe the community as clean and well kept.

Across multiple reviews, people point to cleanliness and upkeep as something they noticed during visits or after moving in. Several comments also mention housekeeping support, alongside a generally maintained look indoors and on the grounds. A separate negative review describes poor hygiene and neglect during a longer stay, so cleanliness appears to vary by situation and staffing at the time.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Staffing and oversight concerns

Some residents and families report understaffing and weak follow-through.

While some reviews praise staff as kind and responsive, others describe problems finding help, delays in assistance, and difficulty getting consistent care. Multiple negative comments point to understaffing or lack of oversight, including issues with showers, transfers, and care meetings. One family also describes administrative communication and documentation problems that affected care appeals, and another report says administration did not return calls.

common 4 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Dining quality is a clear theme, with strong opinions on both sides.

A few residents say meals were better than expected and that the food was good, including variety for those who live there longer. Others disagree, with one review calling the food “horrendous” and questioning its nutritional value. Another reviewer says meals are prompt and accommodate dietary requirements, which helps explain why the dining experience can feel inconsistent from person to person.

common 3 reviews mention this

Activities vary by schedule

Activities are available, though some residents say options are limited.

Several reviews describe activity spaces and programming, including reading and television areas and resident-focused events. One review mentions specific scheduled activities like bingo, religious devotion, and group exercise, and another describes craft activities being added based on residents’ ideas. However, a longer-term resident expresses concern that there is not much in the way of activities at their time.

caveat 4 reviews mention this

Cost is frequently mentioned

Cost and billing concerns come up repeatedly in reviews.

Some reviews explicitly call the community expensive, while also acknowledging that they receive services and support in return. Other comments focus more sharply on billing and administrative handling, including situations involving Medicaid and requests for payments. One negative review also frames the experience as financially driven without adequate care, reinforcing that costs can be tied to trust and follow-through.
