The Summit of Bettendorf

03/03/2026

Today our all team meeting focus was on our Annual Wellness Rally - and we’re excited to share the great changes coming to support team member health, wellbeing, flexibility, and sustainability. This year’s program is all about helping our team thrive, both at work and beyond.

We kicked things off with a fun plank challenge - and did our team show up!
🥇 Bobbi - Well-Being Coordinator
🥈 Marquan - RA in Memory Support
🥉 Maicee - Lifestyles Coordinator

And a huge shoutout to Brittany, who received the Golden Gorilla from Maddy today! Maddy shared that Brittany has been incredibly helpful lately - stepping up, working a lot of hours, and helping wherever needed across all levels of care. We’re so grateful for her dedication.

Here’s to a year of growth, wellness, and celebrating the people who make our community strong!

🌶️Happy National Chili Day!🌶️

We celebrated in the best way possible - by hosting our very own Chili Cookoff! The competition was fierce, the flavors were bold, and our community enjoyed sampling a lineup of wonderful homemade chilis.

A huge congratulations to our 2026 Chili Cookoff Champion, Monica Reyes, our outstanding Assisted Living Director. She received the Golden Chili Bowl, presented by last year’s reigning champ, resident Marty McLuckie. (For those that taste-tested, the winning chili was #6!)

We also want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible Project SEARCH and Riverdale Rams interns for their hard work in serving and cleanup - your support helped make today’s event a spicy success!

At The Summit of Bettendorf, we love seeing residents continue the hobbies and passions that bring them joy. One of our talented artists, Maureen, has recently shifted from acrylics to giving watercolors another try - and the results are stunning! Her steady skill, vibrant imagination, and beautiful technique are a perfect reminder of how creativity can grow in the right environment.

From art spaces to wellness programs, we’re dedicated to supporting individuals in maintaining the lifestyles they love. Whether it’s painting, fitness, lifelong learning, or social connection, our amenities help residents keep pursuing what inspires them.

Here, joy doesn’t retire - it evolves.

🎭Mardi Gras at The Summit of Bettendorf🎭

Our campus came alive today with a Wild West–themed Mardi Gras parade, complete with music, beads, and plenty of laughs!

We paraded throughout our community spreading the fun, then wrapped up the celebration with delicious beignets to top it all off!

A big thank you to our interns from Project SEARCH and Riverdale High School, - our annual parade has grown in size and energy with your participation!

🎉🥅 Olympic Spirit at Its Best! 🥅🎉
Today we brought the joy of the Olympics right to our community with a fun game of balloon hockey! We were thrilled to play alongside students from Riverdale and Project SEARCH at UnityPoint Health - Trinity Interns.

Today, the golden gorilla was passed from Marquan to Maddy (both part of our assisted living team) - and he had nothing but amazing things to say!

Marquan shared that Maddy is efficient, incredibly supportive, and pays great attention to detail. He described her as someone who is great to work alongside and a teammate who makes a difference every day.

He also took a moment to celebrate her big step forward - Maddy is stepping into her new role as Transition Coordinator at The Summit within the next couple of weeks!

At our core, we believe in celebrating our own talent, recognizing potential, and helping one another build on our strengths. Maddy is a shining example of what happens when we invest in our people and cheer them on as they reach new heights.
