Prairie Hills at Tipton offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to support that ranges from routine daily assistance to specialized cognitive care. On-site medical coverage includes 12–16 hours of licensed nursing each day, regular visits from a physical therapist, medication management, diabetes monitoring, ambulatory support and incontinence care. A structured Mental Wellness Program helps residents address emotional health, and staff members receive specialized memory care training to align with evidence-based practices for dementia. For residents needing temporary help, respite or short-term stays can be arranged without disrupting access to these clinical services.
Additional safety and care features are designed to maintain stability and peace of mind. The Memory Care neighborhood is a secured community, limiting exit-seeking and supporting residents who may be prone to wandering, while an enclosed courtyard enables safe outdoor time. Hospice services can be coordinated on site, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings should care needs intensify. Pet-focused programs keep small animals integrated into daily routines, and the team can tailor activities to each resident’s functional level. Continuous monitoring, fall-prevention measures and routine wellness checks are part of the standard protocol.
Living spaces include studio and one-bedroom layouts, some with kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate control, cable or satellite TV, phone connections and Wi-Fi. A library and computer lounge, piano area, resident parking, uncovered parking and multiple outdoor seating spots extend useable space beyond the apartment. Not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Cats are permitted in select apartments, and wider community areas are designed to be handicap accessible.
Meals are prepared daily and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Menu planning accommodates low-sodium and no-sugar diets, and the culinary staff can adjust textures or portion sizes as directed by clinical teams. Guest meals allow family members to dine on campus, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are scheduled when weather allows. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, aligning with diabetic care plans and personal preferences.
Residents can take part in an activity center that hosts fitness programs, Wii bowling, wine tastings, happy hours and birthday celebrations. A swimming pool, jacuzzi, outdoor walking paths and game room provide varied options for exercise and recreation, while clubs, community service projects and organized social outings promote engagement beyond the campus.
