Overview of Prairie Home

Prairie Home is an assisted living and memory care community, operated by Bethany St. Joseph Corporation in Holmen, Wisconsin, since October 2006. The community is one of the smaller senior care communities in the region, with 30 licensed beds, providing older adults with a favorable staff-to-resident ratio and a more individualized approach to care, particularly for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia. 

The community has a strong demand, as suggested by its full occupancy with all 30 beds occupied, which translates to an approximately 100% occupancy rate. With its high demand, families are encouraged to reach out early to confirm openings. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Quality Assurance, also conducted a complaint-initiated inspection in December 2023 and cited zero violations. Notably, complaint-initiated surveys usually involve more focused scrutiny than routine inspections; hence, a clean result reflects good standards and compliance. 

Focusing on those with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the community features a staff consisting of CNA- or RA- certified personnel who provide 24/7 care. The community also offers health promotion and exercise programs, social and recreational activities, spiritual care and ministry services, and beauty and barber services, along with homemade meals and snacks. With rehabilitation and respite services, the community also appeals to those seeking short-term care. Promoting an active lifestyle, the community has a 14-hour activity window that encompasses arts and crafts, puzzles, games, and exercise. The community’s amenities stand out with its focused, care-forward environment, which appeals to families seeking a balance of lifestyle and care. However, the community does not accept Medicare, making private pay or Medicaid the only feasible funding option. 

With its dedicated memory care program in an intimate, relationship-centered setting and assisted living support, Prairie Home is an ideal choice for those who require specialized dementia care but prefer a community-rooted atmosphere in the Holmen and greater La Crosse area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What government services provide money for senior housing?

Several government programs offer financial assistance for senior housing in various countries, focusing on the United States for a broad overview:

  • Medicaid: Medicaid is a state and federally funded program that can cover the costs of nursing home care for those who meet eligibility criteria, including income and asset limits. Some states also offer Medicaid waivers that help pay for home and community-based services to prevent or delay nursing home placement.
  • Medicare: Medicare, primarily a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over, does not cover long-term housing costs. However, it can cover short-term stays in a skilled nursing facility under specific conditions following a hospital stay.
  • Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Program: This program provides housing for low-income seniors. It offers rental assistance and access to supportive services, such as cleaning, cooking, and transportation.
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties: While not a direct subsidy, LIHTC encourages developers to create affordable housing. Seniors with low incomes can find reduced-rent apartments through this program.
  • State and Local Programs: Many states, counties, and cities offer their own programs to assist seniors with housing costs. These can include property tax relief programs, rental assistance programs, and programs that offer affordable senior housing options.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA): The VA offers several programs for veterans, including the Aid and Attendance benefit, which provides monthly payments to veterans who require the aid of another person, or are housebound, to help cover the cost of care in homes, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities.
  • Social Security: While Social Security primarily provides retirement income, for many seniors, these benefits are a crucial part of their budget, including housing costs.
How do you pick the homes you recommend?

Before recommending homes, we conduct a thorough evaluation on crucial factors that define a senior home such as the quality of care they provide, the reputation of the organization, and a comprehensive review of community testimonials as well. Every detail is assessed to assure that seniors are offered not just senior care options, but trustworthy homes where they can experience the care that they deserve.

Do you help families that need Medicaid?

Yes. Assisting families who need Medicaid is important to us as it plays a crucial role in offering financial support to seniors confronting economic challenges. We would like to keep essential healthcare services accessible to all community members, irrespective of one’s financial circumstances.

How much does this service cost?

We extend our services at no cost, ensuring that families and seniors can benefit from tailored assistance in their search for care and home options. Our ability to offer personalized guidance without charge to families and seniors is made possible through the support and funding from the communities with which we team up.
