Overview of Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care

Prairie Pointe Assisted Living and Memory Care in Eau Claire County, Altoona, Wisconsin, is a licensed senior care community administered by Grace Lutheran Foundation Inc., a faith-affiliated, mission-driven organization, since December 2022. Offering assisted living and memory care services, the community has been in operation for approximately three years in the greater Eau Claire area. The community also has 50 beds and currently operates at a 92% occupancy rate, making it one of the more in-demand senior care options in the area.

Serving 46 residents per day with a 50-bed capacity, the community is at 92% occupancy rate, which is above the Wisconsin average. With a high occupancy rate, availability may be limited, so it is recommended that families inquire directly for openings and waitlist options.

A total of five inspection visits and six complaint-initiated inspections have been conducted, with two concluding without issues and the other three citing deficiencies. In the most recent inspection in October 2025, 8 deficiencies were identified, which is below Wisconsin’s 12-deficiency state average. Since the community has only been in operation for three years, this record is considerably good. However, families are still encouraged to review the full inspection report through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

For a newer, mid-size community, Prairie Pointe features a robust lifestyle amenities, including a movie theater, a diner, a beauty shop, an activity and craft room, a secure outside courtyard with walking paths, a specialized life skills program, an activity kitchen, musical events including karaoke and dance, pet therapy, family social events, and holiday parties. The community’s dining also stands out with its hands-on culinary approach, consisting of fresh, home-cooked meals, prepared by a team of nutritionists and delivered by a genuinely caring team. Residents can also expect 24-hour staffing.

Prairie Pointe’s lively, relationship-centered environment is best for active older adults and those with memory-related conditions, particularly in its early-to-moderate stages. With its faith-affiliated foundation under Grace Lutheran, the community highlights a values-centered approach to care, along with a comprehensive activities program, dedicated to residents’ holistic wellness that encompasses physical, social, and emotional aspects.

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 1h 7m per day ▲ 14% State avg: 59m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 35m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 51m per day ▲ 27% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 29m per day
