One of the most distinctive aspects of Prairie Senior Cottages Of Willmar is its commitment to comprehensive end of life care.

The staff at Prairie Senior Cottages take great pride in getting to know each individual resident on a personal level, learning about their likes and dislikes to deliver highly individualized care. This attention to detail enables the caregivers, often called the Cottage Heroes, to form close bonds with both residents and their families. Over time, these relationships blossom, turning the cottages into close-knit communities where people genuinely care for and support one another. The result is a truly unique living experience that fosters trust, dignity, and emotional well-being.
