Overview of Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care

Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care provides assisted living and memory care in Altoona, WI. Assisted living supports residents with daily tasks while they maintain their own apartment, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Offering both care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community.

The community has 50 beds, making it a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know one another. Memory care residents can use secure outdoor walking paths, and the specialized life skill program provides activities focused on everyday abilities. An activity kitchen, movie theater, diner, beauty shop, salon, musical events, pet therapy and family social events add specific spaces and programs for daily activities and gatherings.

Fresh, home-cooked meals are prepared on-site by a team of nutritionists and delivered by the healthcare coordinator and kitchen staff, giving residents meals prepared within the community. Grace Lutheran Foundation operates Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care.
