Grand View Alzheimer's Special Care Center

Grand View Alzheimer's Special Care Center sits near the corner of N. University Avenue and W. Northmoor Road in Peoria, IL, and it's a one-story memory care community designed for people with Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of dementia, with a secure and peaceful property full of gardens, walking paths, and a landscaped enclosed courtyard where people can safely enjoy the outdoors, and inside, there are comfortable living spaces like cozy studios, two-bedroom apartments, shared bath options, and companion rooms all built with safety in mind so residents can move freely without worry. The trained staff, including nurses and dementia caregivers, provides round-the-clock help to residents who need personalized care, whether they stay long-term or need short-term respite care to recover from illness or injury, and they handle all areas like daily living support, 24-hour supervision, medication management, and transportation. The facility serves nutritious meals prepared onsite with dietary professionals, and the dining areas have cloth table settings and options like dishes featuring chicken cordon bleu. Grand View uses the Meaningful Moments® approach, which means the staff builds each person's care plan from the resident's own life story, interests, family, and hobbies, so daily routines and activities make sense and bring comfort, dignity, and a feeling of home. The activity program creates schedules matched to each person's abilities, with social events, group games, movie nights, resident-run activities, community-sponsored programs, and outings to keep minds engaged and spirits up, while worship services and an onsite beautician add to daily life. Families get support through counseling, and transportation is arranged so residents can stay connected to the greater community and keep some independence. Staff keeps a close eye on safety with a 24-hour call system and regular checks, which gives families peace of mind. The focus at Grand View remains on compassion, trust, and helping each resident build new memories even as memory changes, so everyone gets care that fits their needs in a relaxed, homelike setting where routines feel familiar and support is always nearby.
