Overview of Prairie Gardens

Prairie Gardens is an assisted living community in Sun Prairie, WI. Assisted living includes personal care and medication administration, giving residents support with daily needs and medication routines. The community has 24-hour staffing, so staff are present around the clock.

Prairie Gardens has 47 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other.
