Welcome to Wesley Willows:
An Extraordinary Retirement Community in Rockford, IL

We have a lot to offer at Wesley Willows. But don’t get overwhelmed by our large community! Instead, use this page as a roadmap to prepare you for your visit.

Below you will find an overview of the many living options, services, and health care resources available at our Continuing Care Retirement Community in Rockford, IL.

Our one- and two-bedroom Willows Suites are directly connected to the Castle Town Center. Each of these spacious apartments comes with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, balcony or patio, and access to heated underground parking. Willows Suites come in six modern floorplans, which feature walk-in closets, ADA accessible showers, ample storage space, and underground heated parking.

Willows Suites residents enjoy gathering in private lobby areas to work on puzzles and play games. They also love the conveniences of maintenance-free living with housekeeping, transportation, healthcare, and emergency call services always available. They can also reserve guest suites when loved ones come around to visit—just like a hotel. 

Step outside the Castle Town Center, and you will see a neighborhood of duplex homes radiating around the property. These attractive, modern houses, surrounded by beautiful trees and well-kept landscaping, are called Willow Ridge Homes. They come in several spacious floorplans with options for upgrades and customization.

Willow Ridge Home residents don’t have to worry about mowing in the summer or shoveling in the winter. Instead, they have plenty of free time to relax and enjoy the many activities and amenities at the Castle Town Center. They also like walking the peaceful streets of our secure community, gardening at our community garden, and taking their dogs to the on-campus dog park, among many other conveniences. 

As a Continuing Care Retirement Community, we not only offer independent living and assisted living options. Moreover, our full continuum of care includes Medicare-certified health and rehab services and skilled nursing at Willows Health and Rehab Center. We provide both inpatient and outpatient services at our on-campus rehab facilities.

Located to the east of Willows Arbor on Albright Lane, the health and rehab center provides residents with peace of mind, knowing it’s there if they need it. It features the latest technologies, therapies, and modalities to return people to their highest level of independence. Our 24-hour staff includes a variety of licensed nurses, therapists, dieticians, and other specially-trained professionals.

Another incredible benefit of CCRC senior living at Wesley Willows is the availability of memory care. Located on the second floor of Willows Health and Rehab Center, Kirk’s Place is a reassuring, flexible haven for persons with Alzheimer’s Disease and other forms of memory loss. We offer both residency and day care programs at our secure and home-like memory care center.



Our specially trained memory care staff provide personalized care to each resident for their holistic wellbeing. This includes several dimensions of life enrichment, including spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and other helpful activities. We also offer a supportive program at our Memory Wellness Center for residents with early signs of memory loss and their loved ones.
