Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive. Multiple reviewers specifically praise the quality of care, the compassion of the staff, and the facility's cleanliness. Families report good communication from registered nurses and other departments, and several reviewers emphasize gratitude for staff support during significant health events (for example, rehabilitation after stroke). The facility’s rehabilitation services (inpatient and outpatient) and local therapy options are noted as effective and accessible. Long-tenured staff and reports that staff are improving over time are cited as contributing to continuity of care and a stable environment.
Staff quality and interpersonal care are recurring strengths. Reviewers consistently describe staff as friendly, competent, compassionate, and attentive. Many express high trust in the caregiving team and say they would highly recommend the facility. At the same time, the most commonly reported operational concern focuses on overnight coverage: several reviews say overnight workers tend to do the minimum, which suggests a perceived difference in responsiveness or engagement during night shifts compared with daytime staff.
Facility and accommodations receive mixed-but-leaning-positive feedback. The building is characterized as older but well-maintained; reviewers frequently note that the facility is clean and has been recently remodeled in places. Amenities such as TVs in every room, free Wi‑Fi, and updated private and double rooms are appreciated. A notable pattern is the distinction between the nursing home and the attached Assisted Living: nursing home rooms are described as small, whereas the Assisted Living portion offers much larger rooms. Outdoor features (awnings, a pavilion, bird feeders outside windows) and on-site beauty services add to the perceived quality of life.
Dining and activities are highlighted as strong points. Multiple reviewers explicitly state that residents "love the food," and they mention meal options and flexible dining as positives. The activities program is active and varied—bingo, outings, live entertainment, and other engagement opportunities are repeatedly cited. Reviewers report that residents participate in activities and appear happy with the social and recreational offerings.
Administration and policy details mentioned in reviews further support a positive picture: the facility is Medicare/Medicaid certified, does not charge for bed hold, and operates as a not-for-profit. These operational characteristics, combined with transparent communication from staff and the availability of rehabilitation and beauty services on site, contribute to reviewers’ overall satisfaction and frequent recommendations.
In summary, Prairie Manor Care Center is portrayed by reviewers as a clean, compassionate, and well-run facility with strong clinical and rehabilitation services, good food, active programming, and many amenities that support resident comfort and family communication. The most consistent concern is the perceived minimal engagement from overnight staff, and the nursing-home room sizes are noted as small compared with the attached Assisted Living. Those trade-offs aside, the dominant theme is high satisfaction—residents and families repeatedly recommend the facility and praise the staff and services.
