When my 94-year-old grandmother decided to sell her beloved home of nearly 75 years and her car, after being a widow for close to 47 years, I was deeply concerned. Such a significant change at her age seemed overwhelming, and I worried it might be too much for her to handle. However, choosing Crosstown Square Senior Living in the Quad Cities has proven to be the best decision we could have made—it’s truly the premier retirement community in the area, setting the gold standard for compassionate, vibrant senior living.
In her first week there, I called repeatedly without an answer, which heightened my anxiety. To my relief, I soon discovered she wasn’t picking up because she was simply too engaged! She adores how opening her door instantly connects her to a welcoming community of peers, with endless opportunities for socialization and fun. From daily activities tailored to residents’ interests to on-site hair appointments and convenient indoor storage, everything is designed for ease and enjoyment. The staff is exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in her well-being, making her feel right at home from day one.
One standout feature that elevates Crosstown Square above all others in the Quad Cities is its seamless integration with MercyOne Genesis Hospital in Silvis and the Larson Center. This means my grandmother can attend her doctor’s appointments without ever stepping outside, providing unparalleled convenience and peace of mind, especially during inclement weather.
What truly sets Crosstown Square apart—even from competitors like Park Vista Retirement Living—is the outstanding cuisine. The meals are restaurant-quality, fresh, and flavorful, and I’ve joined her for dinner many times without ever encountering a subpar dish. For seniors, dining is often a highlight of the day, and my grandmother raves about the variety and quality, never once complaining.
If I’m fortunate enough to reach her age and still reside in the Quad Cities, Crosstown Square will be my first and only choice. They consistently go above and beyond, not just for residents but for visiting family members like me. This is more than a retirement center—it’s a thriving, supportive haven that redefines senior living. I wholeheartedly recommend it as the top option in the region!
