Overview of Prime Assisted Living

Prime Assisted Living has been part of downtown Sioux City for 19 years, sitting at 725 Pearl St in one of the more walkable stretches of the city. A Walk Score of 88 means residents and visiting family can get to most errands on foot. The three-story building holds 120 beds and offers a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, and it combines two levels of care, assisted living and memory care, under one roof.

Some of the studio apartments aren’t studios in the usual sense. They’re built as two connected bedrooms and bathrooms sharing a kitchen and living room, a layout clearly meant to encourage company rather than isolation.

Right now, 59 of the 120 beds are filled, putting occupancy at 49%. Prime Care, L.L.C. operates the community, and Missie Fischer serves as administrator. Residents have transportation services and fitness and recreation programming available, and the minimum age for admission is 55.

Iowa’s Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing is the regulator responsible for oversight here. Its reviews of this facility have tended to center on medication management, staffing and staff credentials, and care planning and documentation.

This is a mid-sized, long-standing memory care and assisted living community in a walkable part of Sioux City, built for residents 55 and older who may need both levels of support without relocating as their needs change.
