What this means for your family
Prairie Hills is highly regarded for its warm staff and engaging community environment, making it a strong choice for social seniors. However, families should be aware of recent reports regarding dining room disorganization and weekend staffing gaps; we recommend visiting during a mealtime to observe these operations firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was a resident for 14 months. I would highly recommend Prairie Hills for anyone looking for an assisted living community small enough for the staff to know the residents well, with knowledgeable and caring staff who are very responsive to the various needs of the residents.”
“The dining room is unorganised, the food sometimes near inedible. Not much choice, very little fresh food. Residents often have to wait up to an hour for their meals because the dining room can’t seem to keep staff.”
“My parents just moved in to Prairie Hills and they are very happy! I can’t thank the staff enough. Allie, Katie and Cheri have made this transition very smooth.”
