PrairieStone Senior Living sits in Cedar Falls, IA, and is licensed as an Assisted Living Program with 64 licensed beds, run by Arrow Senior Living, and managed by Ecumen, both names that have been around a long time, and the building itself has three stories of apartment homes that come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, so seniors have lots of options, and the community uses unique terms like "Alumnae" and "Care Suites" for their spaces. Residents can pick from independent living, independent living plus, assisted living, and memory care, or if they want some help but stay in their own home, there's home care with trained aides offering companionship and non-medical help. PrairieStone has a full calendar of events, entertainment, wellness activities, and a resident portal so people can stay engaged and in the loop, and the building offers a restaurant for daily meals, a putting green, a fitness center, a theater, Wi-Fi, parking, and transportation services that help people get around Cedar Falls.
The memory care side has its own neighborhood setting with special technology to help folks who live with dementia or Alzheimer's, aimed at keeping things calm, safe, and less confusing. Assisted living services include help with daily needs like bathing and dressing, while the independent living area has apartments for people who can manage most things themselves but want chores, housekeeping, and maintenance handled. PrairieStone welcomes pets, so dogs and cats can move in with their owners, and the place offers amenities like a barber shop, salon, concierge service, quality meals in the restaurant, and housekeeping. Care is tailored to fit everyone's needs, from those who just want a carefree retirement to those who might need regular memory support, and the staff make a point of keeping things dignified, respectful, and supportive. The campus itself has a classic, inviting style and a warm, calm feeling, with an emphasis on community connection, wellness programs, and providing a safe and comfortable space for seniors who want to feel like they belong.
