Amberwood is located in the heart of Rockford, just steps away from Rockford Memorial Hospital.

Through the years, Amberwood has grown and evolved to better meet community needs, and today offers a full continuum of care, from temporary respite to short-term rehabilitation to long-term skilled nursing care, and a broad array of specialty programs and services.

Moreover, our proximity to all area hospitals provides immediate access to specialists in virtually every area of medicine, as well as emergency care, should it be required.

At Amberwood you will find that the spirit behind our “Yes we can” motto is brought vividly to life by our entire staff -- by always being courteous, thoughtful, attentive, respectful, and willing to go the extra mile. We approach every request, every opportunity to be of service, and every daily challenge with a positive attitude and warm, caring smile.

At Amberwood, we’re inspired to fulfill the core values and commitments inherent in our resident-centered philosophy and approach to care.Whether in our short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, or specialty programs, this philosophy is reflected in our efforts to promote optimum independence and quality of life for all those who pass through our doors.

Here at Amberwood, the typical institutional way of living has been transformed into one that is truly “home” to the greatest degree possible.

Gone are the highly structured routines and schedules, as well as the all-too-common sense of loneliness and isolation. Instead, caregiving is based on individual needs, life-long patterns and personal preferences. Schedules are flexible and activities spontaneous. People are engaged --physically, socially and mentally. Choices abound. Relationships are created and, with them, a sense of community and belonging.
