Welcome to the Prairie House Memory Care!

Our mission is simple: creating environments where moments of joy, independence, and wellness are the focus each and every day.

Our fully secured Memory Care neighborhood, backyard gardens, and knowledgeable staff enrich the lives of seniors every day. At Chateau Gardens, elders with Alzheimer’s and other age-related dementias are the most important customer we have. We understand each senior’s needs are just as individual as their personalities and we strive to meet and exceed both theirs and their family’s expectations.

_{Person-Centered Approach}

Our person-centered services and memory loss programming are designed to improve the senior’s independence, ability to function, health and quality of life. We are able to achieve these optimal living conditions through a service plan built around each individual’s life history, current abilities, and unique interests.

These specialized programs, designed and implemented by our staff, include development of each elder’s ‘Life Story;’ creative assistance techniques; methods of interventions that significantly reduce problem behaviors (based on Naomi Feil’s Validation, the Eden Alternative, and the Best Friends approach); a special physical environment that promotes optimum functioning (including both indoor and outdoor spaces); and meaningful “moment s of joy.”

We understand how important it is for seniors with memory loss to experience success in their daily lives. At Prairie House, residents are afforded an environment where they may find a sense of belonging, patience, companionship, and self-esteem.
