Theresa Gowin is completely hands-on when it comes to the business she co-owns with husband Jason Gowin. Established seven years ago, Gowin Parc Memory Care has expanded to serve four Illinois communities — Mattoon, Pana, Taylorville and Paris.
“Our company is just at the right size,” said Gowin, adding that she is very much in tune with what is going on with residents as they live with dementia and all its accompanying challenges.

Also of importance to the Gowins is involvement in their community. Gowin Parc has been a Decatur Walk to End Alzheimer’s silver-level sponsor for the last two years and will again support the Alzheimer’s Association signature fundraiser with a $1,000 contribution to the Saturday, October 12 event. This year marks the first that Gowin Parc has sponsored the Springfield Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday, September 21 at the $500 bronze level.
“There is strong staff support of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s from our company,” Gowin said. “We all pledge to raise $100 or more.”
In 2012, staff from the memory care facilities raised a combined $2,450.
On Saturday, August 17, Gowin Parc will host its own fundraiser to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. The Race to Remember will take place at the trail run at the Fox Ridge State Park in Charleston. Learn more here.
The Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter is so grateful to those companies that recognize the importance of this cause and support the Association in its mission to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
