Inspection Report Summary for Prairie Homestead Senior Living

The most recent inspection on December 10, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in compliance with all regulations. Prior to that, the November 18, 2025, re-licensure survey identified multiple deficiencies related mainly to negotiated service agreements, medication management, and employee licensure documentation. Complaint investigations conducted during that survey were part of the inspection, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Earlier inspections noted issues with documentation, food storage, tuberculosis screening, and medication aide certification, but follow-up surveys consistently found these deficiencies corrected. The overall trend shows the facility addressing prior issues successfully, with the most recent inspection demonstrating compliance.
