MOUNT MORRIS, Ill. — Ziegler has negotiated the sale of Pinecrest Community, a 192-unit senior living community located on 40 acres in Mount Morris, a tiny town of fewer than 3,000 people approximately 100 miles west of Chicago.
Pinecrest Community is a Christian nonprofit continuing care retirement community affiliated with the Church of the Brethren. The community was initially established in 1893 to care for the elderly and orphans.
The campus features active-adult cottage homes, independent living apartments, intermediate and skilled care living, and a specialized memory care center. The Community also serves as the cultural focal point for the Village of Mt. Morris, home to a large community theatre, public gym and retail spaces.
Allure Healthcare Services, a Chicago-based long term care operator, purchased the property and took over operations. Allure now operates 10 skilled nursing and senior living communities throughout Illinois.
