Prairie Creek Assisted Living is a 32-bed senior community at 104 3rd Avenue SW in West Bend, Iowa. Administered by Jessica List and owned by West Bend Health and Rehabilitation, the facility serves Palo Alto County under a license active through May 2027. Current occupancy stands at 47% with 15 residents, maintaining a stable census compared to previous years. The location holds a Walk Score of 41, suggesting that while some downtown services are nearby, many errands require a vehicle.
Monitoring data from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing highlights a record of consistent regulatory excellence. Since 2005, the community has recorded only nine total deficiencies over eight inspections, an annual average of 0.4 that is 69% lower than the state benchmark. Most recently, the October 2025 recertification resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. This performance is part of a larger trend, as the facility has achieved perfect compliance scores in every major review since 2017.
Daily clinical services include independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care supported by 24-hour nursing. While recent history is without violation, records from 2013 identified gaps in registered nurse delegation and transportation safety equipment. Earlier 2005 audits noted issues with the timeliness of tenant evaluations and service plan individualization. Current professional support includes rehabilitation services, respite care, and emergency response systems integrated into the care model.
The residential environment features a variety of amenities including Wi-Fi in every apartment, a beauty salon, and exercise programs. Shared spaces offer restaurant-style private dining and home-style meal options for all residents. Social engagement is facilitated through monthly activity calendars that include religious services, movie nights, and community events. State documentation suggests that management has effectively utilized its 22-year operational history to address early administrative gaps and sustain current care standards.
Interested individuals may find this community a reliable choice given its six-year streak of zero-deficiency inspections and established community roots. It is recommended to observe a social event or meal service during an on-site visit to evaluate the personalized nature of the resident activities. Families can contact the West Bend office to discuss current placement availability and to verify that the facility’s 2026 safety protocols align with their long-term wellness goals.
