Testimonials

You want to know the process of moving mom into Courtyard and why we chose Courtyard. This may be a little hard for you to hear, but you were one of the main reasons — your personal attention to mom’s needs and our family. You listened to our concerns and took action.

The move was so easy and the transition was so smooth that the process seemed seamless. Mom lived in her house one day, with all the worries and headaches of homeownership, and the next day she woke up in a new, wonderful facility. The headaches and worries of day to day living were lifted off her shoulders. And her 4 children all believe this will add quality and quaintly of days to her life.

History

Courtyard Estates is part of Petersen Health Care, the Midwest’s leading long term care provider and the largest chain of nursing homes and assisted, independent and supportive residential living communities in Illinois. The company was founded in 1974 by two brothers, James D. Petersen and Robert L. Petersen, both of who were registered Physical Therapists.  Kewanee Care Home of Kewanee, Illinois and Robings Manor of Brighton, Illinois became their two flagship nursing homes and the start of what we know as Courtyard Estates today.

Mark B. Petersen became the sole owner of Petersen Health Care in early 2002 and continues to maintain the corporate headquarters in Peoria, Illinois.  Mark joined his family’s company immediately after graduating from the University of Colorado, achieving a life-long dream of following in his father’s footsteps. Because Mark had grown up around the family nursing home in Kewanee, Illinois, he had the opportunity to serve on the staff in a variety of positions, getting to know the company from the ground up. Through his fresh ideas and high energy level, Mark has helped propel Petersen Health to the top of the long-term care industry.

Today, Petersen Health Care employs nearly 6,000 employees and is recognized as a major community partner in communities throughout Illinois, Missouri, and Indiana. The company continues to embrace the philosophy it was founded on over 30 years ago which includes strong community involvement, and “bringing the community to the nursing home, and the nursing home to the community.”

Petersen Health Care has the vision and rare ability to change as the needs of the communities it serves change. Using the same proven principles of “caring for those in need” that cultivated the company’s astounding growth in the Skilled Nursing Care arena; Petersen Health Care has recently developed Independent, Assisted and Supportive Living options in many Midwestern communities. These beautiful and modern facilities provide a worry-free atmosphere for seniors seeking safe and secure independent living. Additionally, the company has even bigger plans to continue expansion bringing quality long-term care and independent living options to more seniors throughout the Midwest. Petersen Health Care stands alone as the Midwest’s premier provider of innovative senior living options.
