Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care supports residents who need either traditional assisted living or a secure memory-care environment. The clinical team is equipped to manage residents who wander at any time of day, present exit-seeking or elopement behaviors, become combative, stay awake overnight, or require specialized wound care. Oxygen management is available, and the nursing staff handles diabetic care ranging from oral medications to insulin injections and sliding-scale dosing. The community also accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions, maintaining protocols that aim to minimize hospital transfers and keep care in-house whenever possible.
Round-the-clock nursing coverage includes both RNs and LPNs, and every employee undergoes background checks before hire. An awake night shift monitors residents continuously, and pull cords, personal emergency response systems, door alarms, wander guards, and a fully fenced rear area all contribute to safety. The activity director coordinates therapeutic programming while care staff offer full assistance with bathing and dressing, standby help for eating, and partial assistance with toileting. Residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need a one-person transfer receive support for safe mobility throughout the day.
Apartments are designed to accommodate mobility aids and include step-in showers, emergency call features, individual climate controls, and basic kitchenettes, although not every unit contains every listed feature. Companion suites are available for couples or friends wishing to share space, and weekly housekeeping and linen service are included.
Meals are served restaurant-style in a central dining room, with menus overseen by dietary staff who can prepare diabetic-friendly, low-sodium, or texture-modified dishes. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and residents who need monitoring for blood sugar or portion control receive it at the table. Family members can reserve a private dining area for celebrations or extended visits.
Residents have access to landscaped communal gardens where they can walk, relax on seating areas, or join staff-led horticultural activities; these outdoor spaces are secured to prevent wandering off-site while still encouraging fresh-air time.
