Prairie Living at Chautauqua offers assisted living with an emphasis on consistent, day-to-day support. Residents receive help with personal tasks typical of assisted living, and diabetes management is available for those who need regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and medication reminders. The goal is to provide the right level of assistance so that residents maintain as much independence as possible while still having professional oversight.

Nursing staff are on site and can respond quickly through the community’s emergency call system that links each resident with trained personnel at any hour. Services include incontinence care, ambulatory assistance for those who use walkers or need gait support, and coordination of hospice when a higher level of comfort care becomes necessary. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are handled by staff, reducing daily responsibilities for residents and their families.

Living quarters are primarily studio or efficiency layouts with wall-to-wall carpet and individually controlled heat and air, while central air conditioning helps keep common areas comfortable year-round. Some residences feature cable television hookups, private phone lines, or a fireplace, and landscaped outdoor areas provide additional space for relaxation. Not every accommodation has all of these features, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a visit.

The dining program supplies three meals each day prepared on site, and the kitchen staff routinely offers healthy snacks between meals. Menus are planned to provide balanced nutrition, and special attention is given to residents who require diabetic-friendly choices or other physician-directed diets. Mealtime scheduling and seating are arranged to support social interaction without compromising any dietary guidelines.

Amenities include a multipurpose activity center where scheduled programs are held, organized clubs that encourage resident involvement, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet access, and a swimming pool designed for low-impact exercise and recreation. These services aim to enhance daily life by offering practical opportunities for physical activity, learning, and social connection.
