Prairie View is a senior living community in Sanborn, Iowa, with a staff known for being joyful, kind, and always helpful, and it's structured to meet many different care needs. The campus has several buildings, with skilled nursing care in Prairie View Home, assisted living at Prairie View Inn, and independent living at Prairie View Manor, so residents can find the right balance of support or independence. Prairie View provides daily care services like non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and incontinence care, and there's a dedicated memory care unit, Kuiper Villa, for people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, where things are set up to keep people comfortable, to minimize confusion, and to prevent wandering. The staff supports residents with everything from meals-planned with chefs and dieticians who make sure food is nutritious and appealing-to help with bathing, dressing, and medication management.
People can join in social activities, exercise, games, crafts, and devotional time, and there's a large activity room, social room, therapy space, and library for gatherings or quiet time. Prairie View offers skilled nursing care, intermediate care, restorative therapy, daily doctor visits, and pharmacy consultations, with extra help from dieticians, ET nurses, and a hospice suite-the Sunset Room-set up with a private bedroom, living area, decorations, TV, refrigerator, and a coffee pot. The community has secured housing units for those needing more support and a beauty shop with licensed beauticians. Families can use the private meeting rooms and social areas when visiting.
Prairie View has received quality awards like the Bronze National Quality Award in 2015, 2019, and 2024, and got the Governor's Award in 2014, with recognition for being deficiency free in multiple inspection years. There's a Care Finder service to help people find what they need, and Prairie View's connected with groups like the Iowa Health Care Association and Iowa Center for Assisted Living. Residents can choose from independent and assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, long-term care, restorative therapies, and hospice care, plus programs like the Home Care Accreditation Program. The community includes continuing care retirement options so people can stay even as their needs change, and there's a children's daycare, Kid's Express, planned to open in fall 2025. The place tries to give folks a friendly home-like place to live, with services and support that match different stages of aging.
