WinnPrairie is where my family decided to place our parents after looking at many other facilities in Rockford and Freeport nicest by far. Have not regretted our decision not once.

I’ve noticed that everyone is very attentive to the residents and their concerns. Everyone is so pleasant at all times especially to the residents. Even the higher ups attend to the residents and don’t act like it’s not their job. Awesome place to have your mom, dad and anyone else that needs assistance living.
