Overview of Prairie Creek Assisted Living

Prairie Creek Assisted Living offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in West Bend, IA. Assisted living helps with daily tasks while residents maintain their own apartments, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care provides a short-term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and the range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs could change over time without requiring a move to another community.

The 32-bed community is smaller in scale. Residents and staff may find it easier to know one another in that setting. Home-style meals are prepared according to resident preferences, including comfort food and local favorites, so residents can request meals that suit their tastes, while a beauty and barber salon provides on-site personal care. Landscaped grounds include a rose garden and picnic areas for outdoor time, and luxury transportation services provide arranged travel.

Monthly activities include bingo, wine and cheese tastings, religious services, and movie nights, giving residents scheduled choices for recreation and worship. Rehabilitation services are available on site, so residents can receive therapy without arranging transportation elsewhere. The area has a Walk Score of 41 and is classified as car-dependent, meaning most errands require a car or a ride; Jessica List serves as the administrator.
