Community Testimonials

Kim LCPC CADC

I was able to visit Emeritus in Rockford in the summer of 2009. The assisted living community is very nice. The facility and the grounds are all well maintained. There are 1 and 2 bedroom studios available. There is a wonderful community room, an exercise room, activity room and formal dining room. The residents all seemed happy and active. I would recommend this assisted living community.
