Overview of Prairie Vista Village

Prairie Vista Village provides independent housing, assisted living care, and short-term post-acute therapy at 2785 1st Avenue South in Altoona, Iowa. Under the leadership of owner and administrator John Freeman, the campus features a 68-bed nursing wing that frequently maintains a 50 percent occupancy level. Regular monthly accounts are handled through private funding avenues or standard federal Medicare network benefits. Stays here average about 285 days, meaning the daily scheduling balances temporary convalescent therapy cases with extended clinical residential placements.

On-site health routines center around a structured dining setup and a daily therapy calendar. To manage individual clinical needs, the floor staff coordinates an average of 4 hours and 42 minutes of direct hands-on nursing care per resident every day. Registered nurses cover 54 minutes of this daily schedule, working with licensed practical nurses who provide 24 minutes and certified nursing assistants who handle 3 hours and 5 minutes of bedside assistance. Outside the campus grounds, the surrounding neighborhood records a walkability score of 29 out of 100, which means visiting guests and families rely on a vehicle to handle standard errands around the town.

Regular evaluation surveys have logged clean findings across multiple checkup cycles, with past citations restricted to standard, corrected operational items involving localized nutrition and basic care procedures. Internal supervisors analyze these public safety reports to keep floor rules updated and coordinate mandatory ongoing training metrics for the clinical teams.

Prospective residents can call the main admissions line to double-check open room layouts, ask about the independent living floor plans, or set up a morning walkthrough of the common dining areas.

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) 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.	54m per day	▲ 22% State avg: 44m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN 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.	24m per day	▼ 28% State avg: 34m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	3h 5m per day	▲ 23% State avg: 2h 30m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 44m per day	▲ 10% State avg: 3h 23m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	5m per day	▲ 141% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN 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.	40m per day	▲ 33% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day
