Parkway Center is the only privately and locally owned independent living facility in the Sterling, IL area. It was originally founded by Richard & Juanita Prescott in 1987 and is currently owned by Bryan and Marce Haas. Their goal was to create a facility where residents could live life to the fullest and forget about the stress of housework, yard maintenance, laundry, and meal preparation. After Parkway Center earned its Certificate of Need by the State of Illinois in December of 1986, the first resident moved into the facility in August of 1987.
ServicesSHELTERED CARE Licensed by the State of Illinois, our Sheltered Care is the perfect place to receive close, individualized attention to maintain proper daily living and personal care. They can opt for one of our 29 beds or their own private room.
Residents will be tended to 24-hours a day by a caring nursing staff that consists of a Licensed Nurse and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). They administer any medication as necessary, as well as deliver three meals a day. Those living in Sheltered Care will also have full access to all utilities (except for a telephone) and weekly housekeeping and laundry.
INDEPENDENT LIVING The second and third stories of our facility are dedicated to our Independent Living Apartments. Residents who live here can still care for themselves and administer their own medication to live independently. Our one bedroom apartments are available in several variations of layouts, based on square footage to meet your spatial needs.
Residents in Independent Living must pay month to month rent, they have more amenities including an attached garage and kitchenettes. For safety, each resident has their own emergency call system. Just like those living in Sheltered Care, residents of Independent Living also have access to all utilities and activities.
