If you're searching for a place where people with developmental disabilities can thrive to the best of their abilities, you've found it. For nearly half a century, the dedicated team of compassionate caregivers at Cornerstone in Sterling, IL (formerly Exceptional Care & Training Center) has provided skilled care and innovative programs that enable residents to enjoy happier days and brighter futures.
We offer a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of each individual in our care. From 24-hour skilled nursing care to sensory stimulation to teaching daily living skills, our specialized services support the care and development of the whole person.
We are excited to share that Cornerstone has successfully transitioned into our newly constructed home at 815 W. 23rd Street, Sterling, IL. Purpose-built for individuals with developmental disabilities, this modern environment enhances safety, comfort, and opportunities for meaningful engagement.
We invite you to discover what’s new as we continue our commitment to compassionate, person-centered care.
Our passion is to provide assistance and service to persons with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. We know that our work is successful by the collective effort of our employees, community volunteers and supporters.
Cornerstone is proud to announce it has completed its first probationary licensure survey at its new Sterling facility with a deficiency-free result from the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).
Cornerstone has been recognized for its exceptional satisfaction scores, placing it among the highest-performing specialized residential care communities in the nation.
Cornerstone Special Care marked two major milestones last fall: an August 12 ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house celebrating its new 45,000-square-foot facility, and the completion of its move to that new Sterling home on October 15.
