Prairie Elder Care Lake House Farmstead is a senior living community designed for older adults who need varying levels of help, and it includes three small farmstead homes called Farmstead East, Farmstead West, and Farmstead Lake House, where each home has a cozy, residential setting with just a few residents so folks get more personal care. The community serves people needing independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, skilled nursing, and options to age in place as their needs change. There are both semi-private and private bedrooms, furnished for comfort, all with telephone access, emergency alert systems, and daily housekeeping or laundry, including dry cleaning when needed. Residents can count on help with daily activities, medication management, meals made with special attention to allergy-sensitive and diabetic diets, and support for bathing, dressing, and transfers. Those dealing with dementia receive memory care, meaning they get 24-hour support, specialized programs, memory-enhancing activities, and a safe, supervised place to live.
The homes have walking paths, gardens, and several community rooms-each with a dining room providing scheduled meals as well as all-day dining options, plus staff handle meal preparation and serve residents according to their diet needs. There are regular social activities, movie nights, daily activities, a day program for those needing daytime support, and a Care Farm as part of community programs that help residents keep active and engaged. The Farmstead homes-praised for a simple, supportive atmosphere-offer residents a maintenance-free lifestyle and let folks keep as much independence as possible while still having quick assistance nearby if something happens. Residents get transportation, parking, and support for moving in, and can join community events, volunteer programs, and partnerships that keep everyone involved. Prairie Elder Care Lake House Farmstead keeps everyone supervised around the clock, helps with anything from medication to transfers, and has staff who make sure each resident's care fits their personal needs as they change over time. There's also a blog and ongoing events to keep families and residents connected, and the Care Farm program brings a unique, hands-on way for folks to stay active and feel involved in the community.
