Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community provides Independent Living, Skilled Nursing Care, Alzheimer's Care with assisted living coming soon. We are Medicaid and Medicare certified. Our mission is to minister to the elderly in the belief that God desires older persons to enjoy dignity, respect, love and care. Founded in 1919 and opened in 1923, Meadows was established by churches committed to caring for the elderly in need of support services. This association of churches continues to be the foundation of Meadows’ ministry with the vital support and partnership of the local communities of Chenoa and Gridley. Major additions to the building in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1990s have not only kept the facility up-to-date, but provided the space for the development of levels of nursing care, dementia care and skilled nursing care. The development of independent living services in the 1970s led to a rural retirement village nestled on the Central Illinois prairie. These services have developed as a ministry fostered by the Christian commitments of service originally expressed by the founding churches and shared by the local communities. We have the King Alzheimer's and dementia unit that provides care for those in the earlier stages of Alzheimer's. This unit is designed to enable residents to remain active and engaged. Our other Meadows Alzheimer's Unit cares for those in the later stages of dementia. The staff and facilities endeavor to provide the highest dignity and respect for everyone who resides here. Staff tailors the care to the individual's needs and desires to put the resident at ease.
