Prairie Home III serves up to 15 residents in a caring, family-owned setting that's meant to feel like home, and you'll find it provides medium-level assisted living care, help with things like dressing, bathing, and hygiene, and there's always someone awake and ready to help day or night, even for two-person transfers or medication needs if you ask. The staff works with families when it comes to planning care or making any changes, so everyone feels involved and respected, and residents get treated with dignity, privacy, and choices about their care and daily routines, which really does help foster a sense of independence according to what each individual can do.
Meals come homemade three times a day, with special diets accommodated for things like high blood pressure or diabetes, plus there's all-day dining and help for people managing allergies or other food needs, and the dining room is set up for sharing meals together, which adds to that homelike feel. For those needing more than everyday care, Prairie Home III offers memory care for those with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, hospice care, respite care, and can take care of residents who need non-ambulatory care. There's regular assistance with medications and ties with healthcare providers for any coordination, and if needed, Prairie Home III steps up with emergency help and 24-hour supervision for safety.
The place offers lots of ways to stay active, like entertainment, scheduled health and fitness activities, outside relaxation, and sometimes special programs like music therapy, pet visits, board games, or social events. For getting around, there's transportation to doctor's appointments, shopping, or even to faith services, plus parking for those who drive. All three of their assisted living homes, which are set conveniently in residential neighborhoods, have thoughtful design and furnishings for comfort, along with walking paths, gardens, a book room, and social spaces for movie nights or group events, and amenities like a sauna or health room, a hot tub, and a hairdresser or parlor.
Housekeeping, dry cleaning, and laundry are taken care of, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and rooms come furnished with everyday comforts including telephone access and a system for emergency alerts. Prairie Home III is a Community Based Residential Facility licensed for 18 beds by Wisconsin's Department of Social Services, and follows state regulations, with an emphasis on keeping things safe, secure, and peaceful for everyone, especially as a more affordable long-term care option compared to full nursing homes, though it doesn't take Medicare unless specially certified. Residents' unique personalities and wishes are always respected, and the overall approach centers on meeting each person's needs while giving them a chance to find meaningful activity, relaxation, and comfort in their later years.
