Vista Prairie at Ridgeway on 23rd sits in New Ulm and has served seniors in the area for over 20 years as a nonprofit, mission-driven community, where a sense of belonging and purpose runs through daily life, and residents find spacious one and two-bedroom apartments that suit different needs. The leadership team brings strong experience in regulatory care and operations, and the leader at this community has nearly 30 years in senior living, which helps the place run smoothly and safely. Residents receive support from well-trained and caring staff who stay on-site around the clock, and the nurses offer 24/7 oversight, personalized care plans, and medication management, so residents get help that fits what they need. The community offers Assisted Living and the Independence Plus program, giving support with personal care and daily tasks while letting folks stay independent and connected. Memory Care in the Reflections program supports those with Alzheimer's or related dementias in a secure area, where staff use reminiscence activities, purposeful engagement, and a person-centered approach to help residents hold onto their independence as much as possible. The Aspire™ - Life on Purpose™ lifestyle program stands out for its focus on social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and brings a steady calendar of activities, fitness classes, and group events, plus innovative technologies to improve daily life. Care Suites are available for those who need more complex care and want a home-like setting with nurse management and health services included. Meals come from an in-house culinary team, and seniors can spend time relaxing by a fireplace lounge, have coffee at the shop, enjoy the outdoors in a secure courtyard, or tend raised garden plots on the patio. Residents also have access to an on-site barber and beauty salon, transportation choices, housekeeping, and all building and ground maintenance, which means there's no need to worry about chores or repairs. Staff are described as being more like family, providing kind companionship and help with what folks need throughout the day, working together to offer respect, purpose, and comfort in a clean, friendly community right in the heart of town.
