Fort Armstrong Assisted Living in Rock Island, Illinois, operates as an assisted-living community that delivers daily support with a focus on health oversight. Residents who need help managing diabetes receive routine blood-sugar monitoring, nutritional guidance, and coordination with outside physicians when required. A speech therapist is available for residents recovering from strokes or dealing with communication or swallowing challenges, working on-site to minimize the need for outside appointments.

Additional clinical resources include hospice coordination for end-of-life care, incontinence support, and assistance for those who need help walking or transferring. A nurse is on the premises for routine assessments and medication management, supported by occupational and physical therapists who design individualized therapy plans. The community can also arrange podiatry visits, and it maintains protocols to serve residents living with memory loss, offering a dedicated memory-care setting within the larger community.

Apartments come in several layouts; some feature kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV connections, and individual climate control. Certain units include views of outdoor areas or proximity to the central fireplace, and parking is available for residents who drive. The community is pet friendly, but not every apartment can accommodate animals, and not every residence includes every listed feature.

Meals are provided through an all-day dining program that lets residents choose when they eat rather than adhere to set meal times. The culinary staff prepares menus that accommodate dietary restrictions, including considerations for diabetes management, and servers can bring meals to an apartment if a resident is recovering from illness or therapy.

Residents have access to an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths. The community schedules happy hour gatherings, birthday celebrations, live-music events, and organized social outings. For exercise and leisure, there is also a swimming pool and open green space where residents can spend time outdoors.
