Hatton Prairie Village sits in the country and has a calm feeling with a bit of energy mixed in, and you can see that the folks working there truly care for the people who live in the community, since they've been helping seniors for more than 50 years now and even have a chapel with chaplaincy services for those who want them. The building is single-story so there aren't stairs to worry about, and most nursing rooms are private with a double room available, while the separate apartments for independent and assisted living have thoughtful floor plans and details, making it feel more like a real home. There's always someone there, 24/7, and the staff like Amber Thykeson, the DON/NC, and Joleen Smith, the SW/SS, are part of a group that gives individualized care, including help for those with Alzheimer's, those needing skilled nursing, those who need respite or hospice help, and folks who just want some independence but need a hand now and then.
They have fitness spaces and places for recreation, along with clean lounge areas that stay bright and open, plus a guest hotel room for families who want to visit. Residents can get around with provided transportation services, and meals are served restaurant-style with a menu made by a dietary manager who's got over 30 years of experience, and they care about the little things, like making heart cookies for Valentine's or Norwegian treats for the holidays-so you'll often find food like potato bar, ribs, or spritz cookies during special times. There are home care options and memory care if needed, alongside independent and assisted living, and the community offers a full calendar of fun events, birthday parties, council meetings, and faith services, and staff run a coffee and gift shop on the grounds. They take pride in keeping the apartments and rooms in good shape, and handle laundry and cleaning for residents, making daily life a bit easier.
You'll find Hatton Prairie Village serves Hatton, Traill County, and Region V by providing quality care, and the organization is part of a nonprofit that's backed by four local churches: Beaver Creek Lutheran, Bethany Lutheran, Holmes United Methodist, and St. John Lutheran, building on nearly 60 years of experience and tradition. The facility has 39 skilled nursing rooms-38 are private and one is a double room-plus 19 assisted living apartments, and a separate set of 17 apartments for independent and assisted living. The care team gives a wide range of therapies-physical, occupational, speech, respiratory, even outpatient-depending on what someone needs, and there's senior care advocacy and guidance for families who need support during the transition.
Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance are accepted, and families can find funding costs information along with an application for admission. The Pines and Prairie Place are the distinct names used for certain services and areas. Hatton Prairie Village has kept a 5-star rating for 15 years running now, has been named in the Best Nursing Homes by U.S. News and World Report for over a decade, and has stayed recognized for outstanding customer experience. Residents can get a tour to meet the team and see how folks live there, and there's always a focus on kindness and supporting each person as they are, whether it's for a short stay, long-term nursing, therapy, or simply living independently with a bit of help.
