Overview of The Village at Mercy Creek

The Village at Mercy Creek is a 62-bed senior living community at 1501 Mercy Creek Drive in Normal, Illinois. Owned by Franciscan Ministries, NFP, a nonprofit faith-based organization sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago, the 60-acre campus holds a license active through December 2024 under the state’s Assisted Living and Shared Housing Establishment Act. The community provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care services within a prairie-view setting designed to support spiritual and physical wellness.

The facility provides 24-hour medical oversight and localized care coordination under Illinois state jurisdiction. While the community does not hold a federal CMS star rating, current 2026 data shows that the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero across all three of its most recent 2025 regulatory visits. This includes two annual licensure surveys and a facility-reported incident investigation, all of which returned full compliance with no citations or fines. Monthly assisted living costs start at approximately $4,640, with memory care units positioned at the higher end of the local market.

Bedside support is coordinated 24/7 by a team that follows the “Wellbeing, Engagement, and Spiritual” program pillars. The clinical model integrates on-site nursing, medication management, and regular visits from physical, occupational, and podiatry professionals. For residents with cognitive decline, the dedicated memory care program focuses on person-centered support in a safe, secure environment. Current clinical tracking emphasizes personalized service plans, including verbal reminders and hands-on assistance, to ensure resident stability.

The facility features spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments surrounding a beautifully landscaped center courtyard. All-inclusive monthly services cover nutritious, scratch-cooked meals made with quality ingredients, alongside weekly housekeeping and laundry. Shared community spaces include a movie theater, a coffee lounge, a fitness room, and an on-site beauty and barber shop.

The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily engagement through resident-run clubs, music programs, and intergenerational activities. For off-site errands and medical appointments, the facility provides complimentary transportation to ensure residents remain connected to the nearby Normal city center.

Those seeking a mission-driven, nonprofit environment with a flawless recent regulatory history and quiet countryside surroundings may find this setting appropriate. Prospective residents and their representatives should contact the administrator directly to discuss current availability and visit the campus to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
