Prairie Road Home sits in Strum, Wisconsin, in a quiet spot surrounded by gardens and outdoor space where folks can relax or enjoy a walk along landscaped trails, and you'll find the place made up of a single-family home with a cozy setup that feels familiar and friendly, with both one-bedroom suites and semi-private or studio rooms, all fully furnished and with roomy closets so residents don't have to give up comfort. This community has a capacity for a small group, with four residents at Prairie Road Home itself, while other facilities like Sunrise Manor can house up to 13, Clover Way Adult Family Home and River Way North each hold four, Country Ridge and Crystal Lake Terrace each offer space for eight, and Church Street Community Club has room for eight as well, so there are choices for different needs.
Prairie Road Home provides help with meals by preparing three nutritious dishes each day, handling special diets for those with diabetes, allergies, or specific needs, and they keep snacks available throughout the day, with dining rooms set up for residents to gather and eat together if they like. The staff can help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, moving from bed to chair, medication management and administration, and even manual feeding or help going to the bathroom if needed, and they've got experience caring for people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, or those who need non-ambulatory care, which means support for folks who can't walk on their own.
There's always someone up and awake at night and in the day, offering 24-hour supervision, and if someone needs health monitoring or regular check-ins, staff know how to handle that, even helping with physical therapy, wound care, diabetic needs management, and keeping up with healthcare providers so no one slips through the cracks. The homes all have emergency alert systems and ADA-compliant bathrooms, so if someone needs help, they can get it right away, and safety is part of the daily routine, with fall prevention classes to help keep everyone steady.
The place tries to make life easier with transportation and parking for outings or doctor appointments, routine housekeeping, laundry service, and even moving help when it's time to settle in, and residents can stay connected by telephone and high-speed Wi-Fi in the rooms, watch TV, or join in community-sponsored activities like movie nights, music, arts and crafts, or just joining friends for some scheduled daily activities and conversations in the common areas, and sometimes there's entertainment or outings, making each day a little more interesting.
For those who want some fresh air or extra comfort, there are decks, porches, a garden, and walking paths, plus quiet places for reading or visiting with family, and if someone wants to bring a pet, Prairie Road Home is pet-friendly, letting residents keep a bit of home with them. The place has a beauty and barbershop for those small comforts and helps everyone maintain a normal, happy daily routine, offering personalized care plans that meet each person's needs in a way that's careful but not intrusive. All utilities are included, from heat to internet, and there's move-in coordination that makes sure folks get settled without much stress or hassle. The staff works to meet unscheduled requests when possible, and they're known for being friendly.
Prairie Road Home holds licenses under unique license numbers, which means the state keeps an eye on quality, and it operates several nearby houses and facilities each offering different room counts and living styles, from assisted living with care and supervision to independent living for those who need less help, with options for skilled nursing, board and care, memory care, and supportive features like scheduled activities, gardens, safety systems, and a warm, home-style feel.
