Prairie Meadows provides Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus even as care needs change. The community manages a wide range of medical conditions, including wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, exit seeking, nighttime wakefulness, oxygen therapy, and both oral and injectable diabetes management. Staff are trained to support advanced dementia, so residents who require increased redirection or behavior management can remain in place.
Clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. Night-shift caregivers are awake, and every employee completes background checks. The building uses secured doors, perimeter fencing, door alarms, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems to alert staff. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and team members can manage transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, or one-person lifts. On-site podiatry visits and a therapy room further reduce the need for outside appointments, while an activity director coordinates daily engagement for all cognitive levels.
Residences may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment offers every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are served three times daily with a choice of set menus or made-to-order selections. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents can request in-room service or reserve a private dining room for guests. The kitchen accommodates diet modifications such as mechanical soft, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures as ordered by a physician or speech therapist.
Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, full wheelchair access, an on-site barber/beauty shop, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and a library. Scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments and local errands. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
