IDPH licenses Shepherd Premier of Harvard for 14 assisted living units: 14 floating units. No Alzheimer's special care units are listed on the license, so families looking for a secured dementia program should ask how the community handles cognitive decline.
Illinois licenses assisted living by living unit rather than by bed. An Alzheimer unit belongs to a special care program for people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, which the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295 hold to added staffing, training and environment requirements. IDPH also shows some units as “floating”; ask how those are assigned between regular and dementia care.
The licensee of record for Shepherd Premier of Harvard is SHEPHERD CAPITAL, LLC HARVARD. IDPH shows 3 license period(s) for this establishment in its online system, the earliest beginning September 6, 2023, and no change-of-ownership record at this address.
IDPH's online system only reaches back to its 2023 migration, so a community can be licensed far longer than the earliest period shown; ask the community when it first opened.
None are posted. As of October 23, 2026, the IDPH public lookup lists no survey reports, violations or enforcement actions for Shepherd Premier of Harvard. That reflects what IDPH publishes online, not a guarantee that no survey has taken place.
