Palmer Hills,
a Holiday Retirement
Community

Palmer Hills residents enjoy a variety of health and fitness activities, from weekly group exercise classes to anytime access to on-site fitness equipment.

One day a week in the spring, summer, and fall, a group walks around the beautiful grounds of the community. You'll also find residents exercising in the lobby daily, doing chair exercises.

Enjoy restaurant-style dining served with courtesy and caring by our staff who know you. Chef-prepared meals are served every day in Palmer Hills dining room. Sit with friends or invite your family for a special occasion in our private dining room. Each meal is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of community members.

The wonderful chef has been named, 2 time Chef of the Quarter. He meets with residents regularly to hear their feedback, and wants to know what they miss that they used to cook at home.

There’s so much to explore in the Bettendorf area and Palmer Hills makes sure that residents experience as much as possible. Regular outings to favorite restaurants, local events, and more introduce residents to all their neighborhood has to offer and connect them to the surrounding community.

There's a "Lunch Bunch" group that goes out to a different restaurant every other week. Good food with friends is always a fantastic idea.

Palmer Hills' comprehensive calendar is packed with both recurring activities and special events. The variety of available activities is meant to enrich the whole person by stimulating physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social or vocational wellness.

If you have a green thumb, you'll love the community garden. It grows onions and tomatoes that the chef uses in the kitchen. The football fans get together for weekly tailgates to watch the Iowa football games.

Furry friends are welcomed as residents at Palmer Hills. We understand how important the companionship and bond that seniors share with their pets. We’re delighted to have cats, dogs, birds, and even bunnies as part of our community.

Four times a year, therapy animals come to visit the community which everyone loves. And all the residents, and resident dogs know to go to the office to get a treat!

Palmer Hills is equipped with WiFi access to help you stay connected throughout common areas. You can use a community desktop computer to stay up to date or connect your personal devices to the WiFi.

Periodically, the Bettendorf Public Library offers free computer classes for adults who want to develop basic or advanced online skills. In Davenport, you can attend sessions of the Senior Technology Clinic at the Center for Active Seniors, which offers many life enhancement programs for older adults.

Tech Tuesday is a chance for residents to ask questions, and learn how to use new devices.

The exclusive Travel & Stay program offers residents exciting opportunities to travel around the country, with free stays of up to seven days at any of Holiday Retirement’s more than 260 communities. Three chef-prepared meals are included with each trip. Visit all 43 states or just choose a favorite new location or two.

Many residents find a sense of fulfillment in donating their time and skills to a cause close to their hearts.

Residents at Palmer Hills do a yearly fundraiser. Last year they raised $6,000 for Cancer research, and this year they're almost up to $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. The fundraisers are completely run and operated by our community only. Many local businesses come in and do outreach and training with our residents.
