➜ Traveling Employee Housing

Travel nurses, plant contractors, and project crews all end up in the Quad Cities for weeks at a stretch. Licandro Management houses them in real apartments with kitchens and laundry, because a hotel room stops being tolerable somewhere around the third week away from home and family.

THE ASSIGNMENT IS HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT THE HOUSING BEING HARD TOO.

People on assignment work long, awkward hours. They come off a night shift wanting quiet, a proper bed, and something to eat that did not arrive in a paper bag. Housing that fails those basics wears travelers down quickly, and turnover on a project usually starts with someone who simply could not face another month of it.


We place traveling staff in residential buildings near where they work, with the practical details already sorted. Parking that suits shift patterns, laundry in the unit, and neighbors who are not checking out at dawn.

  • Residential units near jobsites and medical campuses
  • Kitchens and laundry rather than a mini-fridge
  • Parking and access suited to shift schedules
  • Terms that follow the length of the assignment

➜ TRAVELING EMPLOYEE HOUSING

A PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME AFTER A 12-HOUR SHIFT.

There is a version of business travel that grinds people down, and most of it comes from where they sleep. Thin walls, no kitchen, a parking lot that fills by 7 a.m., and nowhere to put a week of laundry. Somewhere with a door that closes on real quiet changes how an assignment feels entirely, and it shows up in the work long before anyone mentions it.

PLACED CLOSE TO WHERE THE WORK ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

Assignments here cluster around the hospitals, the manufacturing plants, the rail and logistics corridors, and construction sites on both sides of the river. A 40-minute commute after a night shift is its own kind of punishment. We start from the worksite address and work outward, so the drive stays short even in January when the roads are at their worst and every minute counts.

13 YEARS OF HOUSING PEOPLE WHO WORK ODD HOURS.

Shift workers need different things from ordinary tenants, and 13 years of managing units across the Quad Cities has taught us what those things are. Buildings where daytime noise is manageable. Assigned parking so an early 5 a.m. start does not begin with a hunt for an open space. Laundry inside the unit. Details like these decide whether an assignment is bearable. Shall we look at your dates?

WHAT TRAVELING STAFF ACTUALLY GET OUT OF IT.

Rest That Restores

Quiet buildings, real bedrooms, and blackout-friendly rooms matter enormously to anyone working nights. Sleep quality is the single biggest factor in whether a long assignment stays sustainable.

Predictable Monthly Costs

Monthly arrangements are easier to plan around than a nightly rate that shifts with demand. Budgets hold, per diem stretches further, and nobody is surprised by a convention week.

Shorter Commutes

10 minutes saved each way is nearly 2 hours back over a working week. On a long assignment, proximity to the site is worth more than almost any other amenity.

Room for the Whole Crew

Multi-bedroom units let a crew share sensibly instead of scattering across three properties. Shared space also gives people somewhere to eat together, which matters more than managers usually expect.

Fewer Logistics for Managers

One arrangement covering several people removes a stack of individual bookings. Site managers spend their time on the project rather than on where everybody is sleeping next month.

Easy Extensions

Projects overrun and contracts get renewed. Arrangements built with that in mind can usually roll forward without anyone packing a bag or renegotiating from scratch.

➜ WHO WE HOUSE

OUR TRAVELING EMPLOYEE HOUSING WORK

The people who pass through this region on assignment do very different jobs, but their housing problems rhyme. These are the situations we handle most often for travelers and the companies sending them.

CREW STAYS

Project Crew Accommodations

Construction and plant crews arriving together are placed near the site and near each other. Sharing larger units or neighboring apartments keeps transport simple and the team functioning as a team.

ROTATING SHIFTS

Shift and Rotation Housing

Staff working nights or rotating schedules need buildings where daytime sleep is realistic. Noise, light, and parking access all get weighed before a property is offered to someone on that pattern.

HEALTHCARE TRAVEL

Clinician and Travel Nurse Housing

Contracts in healthcare often run 13 weeks and start at short notice. Placements near the hospitals, with secure parking and quiet buildings, suit those schedules far better than a downtown hotel.

SHORT NOTICE

Last-Minute Assignment Placements

Some assignments are confirmed days before they start. Where availability allows, we move quickly on those, confirming what is genuinely open rather than promising something that has already been taken.

BUDGET FIT

Per-Diem-Friendly Options

Travelers often work within a fixed housing allowance. We look for units that sit comfortably inside it while still offering a kitchen, laundry, and a location worth living in for months.

SITE CLOSE

Jobsite Proximity Placement

The search begins at the worksite rather than at whatever is vacant. Cutting the daily drive is the single change that improves an assignment most, particularly through an Iowa winter.

➜ Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Travelers ask sharper questions than most, because they have stayed somewhere disappointing before. These are the ones that come up most often before an assignment starts.

  • Is housing available for a 13-week healthcare contract?

    Yes, that length suits this kind of placement well. Furnished units near the medical campuses can usually be arranged for a standard contract term, with extensions possible when a clinician signs on again.

  • Can two colleagues share a unit?

    Frequently, yes. Two-bedroom and larger apartments work well for colleagues who are comfortable sharing, and splitting a unit often buys everyone more space than separate rooms elsewhere would offer.

  • How close to the hospital or plant can housing be arranged?

    Closer than most people expect, depending on timing. Licandro Management searches outward from the worksite across Davenport, IA and the neighboring communities, so short commutes are the starting point rather than a bonus.

  • Do units have laundry in them?

    Many do, and it is one of the first things we check for travelers. Where in-unit laundry is not available, we look for buildings with convenient shared facilities rather than a laundromat trip.

  • What about parking for a work truck or company vehicle?

    Raise it at the start, because it narrows the options considerably. Assigned spaces, oversized vehicle allowances, and lot access rules vary by building and are confirmed before anything is offered.

  • Can a traveler bring a pet on assignment?

    Sometimes, though pet policies limit the field. Licandro Management raises breed, size, and count with each Davenport, IA property early, so travelers know which options are realistic before getting attached to one.

  • What happens if the assignment ends early?

    Tell us as soon as it is confirmed. Depending on the agreement and the property, an early end can sometimes be accommodated, and giving notice quickly always improves the outcome.

  • Are these units furnished?

    Most placements for traveling staff are furnished, since people arrive by plane or with one vehicle. Exactly what each unit provides is confirmed in writing before the arrangement is agreed.

➜ HOW WE WORK 

FROM CONTRACT DATES TO FRONT DOOR, HERE IS HOW.

STEP 01

WE TAKE THE DATES

Start date, end date, worksite, shift pattern, and whether anyone is sharing. Those details narrow the field immediately and stop us wasting your time on properties that were never going to suit the schedule.

STEP 02

WE WORK OUTWARD FROM SITE

The worksite address anchors the search. Properties are considered in order of drive time, with the quiet, parking, and laundry questions checked as each one comes into view rather than after a tour.

STEP 03

WE CONFIRM WHAT IS REAL

Availability gets verified with the owner or manager before anything reaches you. Travelers have been burned by listings that were already gone, and we would rather send three real options than ten hypothetical ones.

STEP 04

WE SORT THE TERMS

Agreements are matched to the contract length, with the employer or the traveler as the responsible party. Billing, deposits, and end dates are settled in writing before travel is booked and paid for.

STEP 05

WE READY THE UNIT

Keys, parking permits, access codes, and utility arrangements are prepared ahead of the arrival date. Someone landing after a long drive should walk in and go to bed, not start problem-solving at midnight.

STEP 06

WE HANDLE THE REST

Maintenance requests, extension questions, and roster changes come straight to us during the stay. Travelers should be thinking about the job, not about who to contact when the heat stops working on a Sunday.
