Prime Assisted Living
Prime Assisted Living provides assisted living in Sioux City, IA, with help for daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while residents maintain their own apartments. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs support with everyday activities but does not require the secured setting or round-the-clock licensed nursing care associated with other care types.
Prime Assisted Living has 120 beds. Housing options include studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences, with the two-bedroom layout able to suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion.
A Walk Score of 88 places the area in the very walkable range, meaning most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still reach nearby shops, pharmacies, or cafes independently. Nicole Thompson serves as the administrator.
