How respite care works at The Ivy at Davenport
A respite stay at The Ivy at Davenport is designed to feel less like a hand-off and more like a warm welcome. Before arrival, our admissions coordinator gathers medical history, care routines, dietary preferences, and any special comfort items that help your loved one feel at home. On arrival day, a nurse completes an intake assessment and introduces your loved one to their caregiver — someone who will be their consistent, familiar face throughout the stay.
During the stay, guests participate in the same meals, activities, and social events as long-term residents. Medical needs — medication management, wound care, therapy — are handled on-site. Families can call our nursing team any time and are encouraged to visit. At the end of a respite stay, many families feel confident enough to explore a longer transition into skilled nursing or memory care when the time is right.
Respite stays are typically private pay, though some long-term care insurance plans and veterans' benefits may apply. Call (563) 322-1668 and we'll walk you through the options — with no pressure and no surprises.
