I am/was a resident of this facility

I have lived at Prairie Homestead for 14 years and am so grateful for this community. We are both neighbors and family to each other. The dining room is always full of friends and congeniality; there are plenty of well-organized activities; we gather in worship once a week; we have fun outings on our buses; all the staff are conscientious, kind and caring. Prairie Homestead is a great place to enjoy my elder years.

I visited this facility

We went to Prairie Homestead. They had individual duplexes. My first impression was it was an older facility, but it was still kept up nice and probably a five-star on everything. We did eat there and that was a five-star. The only exception was the location where it was. We didn't like the neighborhood. The staff was wonderful. She met with us and gave us a tour of the whole facility. She took us to one of the duplexes. She was very informative. There were plenty of amenities, an exercise room, a hair salon, …

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We have chosen Prairie Homestead because it is in the neighborhood where my mother has lived in for over 50 years. Her church is just right down the street, she knows other people that have moved into the community, and it's very close to family and friends. It's a beautiful place. She has been to the pond and seen the fish. She's very excited about being there, and she told me the other day that she feels safe there. I think it's a wonderful place, and I'm very happy that my mother has cho…

I visited this facility

The rooms at Prairie Homestead were gorgeous and newly remodeled. The apartments we looked at had not been lived in yet. They're very nice and modern with walk-in showers, a bath and a half, and a one-bedroom. It looked out over their garden areas, you can go out there and it has a little pond and was very prettily-landscaped. They told me that if I like to garden I can put a garden in there, so that was very appealing to me. This was probably the place that I like the best. The staff was great, the apartments…

I visited this facility

Prairie Homestead was a very nice campus, and the staff was very good. The twin homes were a good size and had a good layout. They had cabinets and appliances. We did not look at their new apartments. We just looked at the twin homes. I liked that it looked like a neighborhood. They had gardening places, beauty shop, library, fitness center, outings, and transportation. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and pleasant. Their main building where all their activities take place and the dining was nice.

Great community!

What a wonderful community of residents and staff! Prairie Homestead is like living in a neighborhood where everyone knows each other and cares about all the neighbors. I never thought I wanted to leave my house, but I love being here where my repairs and lawn are taken care of, and where I'm in small group activities and have a convenient outdoor place to stroll around our pond. I moved to PH in my mid-60's, and I am so glad I chose this friendly community. Another bonus -- we're near the Wichita Art Museum, Centu…
