We’re Committed To Our Mission Of Serving Our Residents
Kahl Home Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide the highest quality services to our residents and employees. Our actions are guided by our philosophy of care that promotes an attitude of teamwork, dedication, and leadership. Every day we are committed to acting openly, equitably, and lovingly in our pursuit of uncompromising quality care.
- Sanctity of Life - Our belief is that all life is sacred, and we advocate especially on behalf of the elderly. Our care witnesses to the gospel message of Jesus and the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.
- Hospitality - Our belief is that each home should provide a welcoming, person-centered environment and atmosphere of a “Home”. Personal warmth, love and holistic care, which encompasses residents’ physical, social,psychological, emotional and spiritual needs, are our hallmarks. Guided by our Catholic tradition, we seek to honor the spiritual journeys of all peoples of all faiths.
- Shared Commitment - Our belief is that quality of care is attained by a team spirit that has a shared sense of achievement, accountability, ideas, insights and the commitment to the wise stewardship of resources. Treating one another respectfully and justly, and joining together for our common Mission, will enable us to continue to move forward with the time.
- Compassion - Our belief is that each person is created in the image of God as an object of his personal love, and, as such, we are to bring hope, healing and comfort to all we encounter in our ministry. In the words of Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, we strive to be “kinder than kindness itself”.

Kahl Home Has Been Serving The Quad Cities For Decades.
In 1954, the Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Davenport, Iowa asked Venerable Mary Angeline Teresa, O. Carm., founder of the Congregation of the Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm to consider providing long-term elder care in a substantial family home that had been donated to the Davenport Diocese.
Kahl Home for the Aged and Infirm welcomed its first residents on March 18, 1955. At the time, Kahl Home had 21 female residents. As time continued, so did the need for more space. In 1963, our facility expanded to house 128 residents, male and female.
In 2012, Kahl Home finished building a state-of-the-art senior living facility in northeast Davenport. The facility was designed to promote community living, devote more space to rehabilitative services and provide more opportunities for residents to maintain an active lifestyle.
At Kahl Home, Our Christian Faith Guides Us.
Promulgated by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, the Ethical and Religious Directives (ERDs) for Catholic Health Care Services function as a normative guide for Catholic-sponsored health care systems like Kahl Home. The ERDs provide Kahl Home with authoritative guidance and instruction on matters central to Catholic health care ministry. The ERDs are used by Kahl Home team members as a guide throughout decision-making processes.
