Grand Prairie recently was recognized as one of the Top 20 assisted living communities in Illinois by Assisted Living Today for providing trustworthy and competent care and fostering the independence and individuality of residents.
The affordable assisted living community is the only community for older adults in McDonough County that is certified to operate through the Illinois Supportive Living program. The community is managed by BMA Management, Ltd., which is the largest provider of assisted living in Illinois.
