PA Peterson at the Citadel sits at 1311 Parkview Ave in Rockford, Illinois, and offers a small, comfortable place for seniors who need skilled nursing or memory care, and you'll notice right away that the staff is always around, with board certified nurses and licensed caregivers there day and night, ready to help with daily needs or health issues. Folks living here get all meals provided, plus snacks, and they don't have to worry about chores because housekeeping, laundry, and building maintenance get done every week, and all utilities except the phone are covered, with basic satellite TV included and rooms pre-wired for both telephone and TV. Everyone can use the common rooms, walk the indoor and outdoor paths, visit the chapel, or join in activities like music therapy, pet visits, Bible study, yoga, exercises, and more, and there's even a beauty and barber shop, central dining room, fitness center, and modern kitchens.
People can also go out to community events, local restaurants, and entertainment, and for folks who want spiritual services, there are offsite devotional options and a chapel onsite for Bible study and gatherings. PA Peterson provides a variety of short and long-term care services such as respite care for those recovering or giving a break to caregivers, hospice and palliative programs, and helps people stay independent with support as needed, with staff helping with medications and personal care. Special care is available for people with memory challenges, with secure areas and care plans to support memory and cognitive skills, and the nursing team can help with therapies like physical, occupational, speech, IV, cardiac, pulmonary, orthopedic, and stroke rehabilitation, plus dialysis. Residents who can't live by themselves can get long-term care with assistance for daily living, and the facility tries for a homelike feeling with peaceful, newly renovated areas and safety features like an emergency call system, big bathrooms with safety fixtures, sprinklers, cameras, and a secured environment, so people can feel safe while enjoying social events, meals, and programs with others, and it even has a bit of that hotel feel with spa-like design. Office hours are Monday to Friday from 8 in the morning to 5 in the evening, and the place is known for giving care that's both personal and clinical for a community atmosphere that tries to help folks be as healthy and happy as possible.
