Invest In a Lifestyle That Lasts

Peterson Meadows is a not-for-profit organization committed to providing residents with a lifetime of quality independent Senior Living. The Peterson Meadows Endowment is a planned giving program allowing donors to contribute to Peterson Meadow's vision for the future and create a legacy deeply connected to our history. As the endowment grows, available funds would help Peterson Meadows residents pay their monthly fee to remain in their apartment or home should they outlive their financial resources.

Support That Extends Beyond Our Community

At Peterson Meadows, we’re passionate about giving back to the Rockford community. Residents and staff rally together for worthy causes, support local nonprofit efforts, and participate in drives that help neighbors in need. Many of our team members volunteer their time and talents to local organizations such as the Rock River Valley Food Pantry, Rockford Rescue Mission, and community initiatives that support children, families, and neighbors across the region. We’re proud to call Rockford home and believe in doing our part to make it an incredible place to live.
