Overview of Prairie Gardens

Facebook

Prairie Gardens is an assisted living community administered by PGRF LLC in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, offering personal care, medication administration, housekeeping, and a structured activities program to older adults in Dane County. Licensed in November 2004, the community has been operating in the greater Madison area for over 21 years, making it one of the older assisted living options in the area. The community has 47 licensed beds and accommodates older adults 24 hours a day.

With approximately 72% occupancy, the community is currently serving 34 residents per day with a 47-bed capacity. Families seeking immediate placement or flexibility in transitioning without waitlist delays benefit from the community’s occupancy, which is in line with the Wisconsin state average, as it has open availability.

The community has undergone five inspections, along with one complaint-initiated inspection, three routine surveys, and two other visits. Among the five inspections, two were completed without deficiencies, and the other three cited issues, accumulating a total of 17 deficiencies, which is slightly above Wisconsin’s 12-deficiency average. For better context about the nature and severity of each deficiency, families are suggested to review the detailed deficiency reports through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

As one of the longer-running assisted living options in the area, the community’s 21-year history has allowed it to accumulate credibility in terms of regulatory compliance, staff development, and community trust. Additionally, a wide range of services, including respite care, 24-hour staffing, personal care, medication administration, housekeeping, and a well-curated activities program, are offered. Accommodations are also part of the community’s service category, highlighting its commitment to residents’ comfort.

Prairie Gardens’ over two decades of history in Dane County, along with a variety of services, including personal care, 24-hour staffing, and medication management, make it a compelling option for older adults and families in the Sun Prairie and greater Madison area. For in-depth details about the community’s inspection history, as well as daily atmosphere, it is recommended that families review inspection reports and inquire directly with the staff.
