Azria Health Prairie Ridge

Azria Health Prairie Ridge sits in Mediapolis, Iowa, and carries a community-owned legacy of over 30 years, known for having a team of compassionate, highly trained staff who take care of an average of 56 residents each day, with 62 certified beds available, and folks like the Gerontology Certified Medical Director, primary care doctors, dentists, psychiatrists, ophthalmologists, and podiatrists come together for a full team approach, making sure each resident gets personalized attention through tailored care plans. This facility offers skilled nursing care, long-term care, short-term respite, and specialized programs such as dementia and Alzheimer's care, rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and even more specific support for neurological and stroke care, post-cardiac care, orthopedic needs, pulmonary issues, wound healing, prosthetic training, and back injuries, and when a resident needs therapy, the therapy gym stands ready with treadmills, sci-fit machines, and stationary bikes, open every day. Staff keeps an eye on each person and uses an interdisciplinary method, making sure care is adjusted when needed, though inspection reports show 37 total deficiencies-6 tied to infection control and a handful relating to care planning and residents' assessments each quarter and upon admission, while federal standards on infection prevention have seen some violations. While the nurse turnover rate sits at 62.7% and nurse staffing clocks at about 3.55 hours per person per day, the facility provides 24-hour nurse coverage, medication management, nutrition support, chef-prepared meals, and both restaurant-style and private dining. Residents enjoy furnished private rooms with private bathrooms, emergency call systems, complimentary Wi-Fi, transportation options, beautician and spa services, laundry, scheduled local outings, pet visitation, beauty salon visits, interpreter support, and both inside spaces-like a lounge and private dining room-and pleasant outdoor relaxation and recreation areas. People are encouraged to take part in social events and health programs that promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Azria Health Prairie Ridge welcomes family involvement, shares information through newsletters and its blog, and supports residents with both Medicare and Medicaid certification, all while providing a welcoming, community-driven environment with a focus on compassion and respect, though folks are always encouraged to review inspection histories and ask questions when looking at options.
