Prairie Gardens provides assisted living with a clinical scope that covers routine and complex needs. The community is equipped to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and supports adults under 60 as well as residents managing diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding scale protocols. Staff are trained to recognize and address mild dementia conditions, ensuring continuity of care as needs change. Podiatry services are offered on-site, reducing the need for off-property medical appointments and allowing residents to maintain consistent care oversight.
Around-the-clock support is built into the daily routine. An RN or LPN is on staff, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and night-shift caregivers remain awake to respond quickly to pull-cord or PERS alerts. Background-checked employees supervise a secure environment that includes door alarms, a fenced rear area, and continuous staff presence. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can self-feed continue to do so. Transfer help ranges from standby aid to one-person and bed-bound moves, and both walker and wheelchair use are accommodated.
Private and companion apartments are offered, with some units featuring a private bath, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cabling for personal electronics. Residents may paint or decorate their rooms to suit individual preferences. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, and independent-living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring to ensure dosing accuracy while preserving autonomy. Not all apartments provide every listed feature, so it is advisable to confirm availability during a tour.
Dining centers on a set menu with dietitian-approved modifications for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered plans, aligning with the community’s focus on medical oversight. Nutritious snacks are offered between meals, and staff monitor intake for residents with special dietary requirements. The kitchen team coordinates closely with nursing staff to adapt textures, portion sizes, and schedules to each care plan.
Residents benefit from on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and designated outdoor smoking areas. Additional amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, library, high-speed internet access, landscaped communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Public transportation stops nearby, making family visits and medical appointments convenient.
