What Makes This Dixon Memory Care Home Special?

Shepherd of Dixon is a home-style memory care residence at 503 Countryside Lane in Dixon, Illinois. Its residential setting gives families a place to learn about memory care close to the Rock River, Lowell Park, and the community life that makes Dixon familiar to many local families. Local landmarks and events, including the Petunia Festival and Dixon’s connection to Ronald Reagan, provide context for the neighborhood; they are not promises about a resident’s schedule or activities.

The home is marketed specifically for memory care. Because every person’s needs are different, a conversation with the Dixon team is the right way to discuss care fit, routines, services, room options, current availability, and next steps.
