I visited this facility

I visited Prairie Winds of Urbana. The facility was beautiful. When I finally had my tour, the woman who was to tour with me was very rude to me. First of all, she asked me my age. Then she looked at me and said, Uh-uh. No, this is not for you. I said, You called me, and I'm here because I was referred to you. And she said, "This place isn't for you because of your age." I said, "I waited a long time for this tour." She said it doesn't work that way. She opened the door, and she s…

The Place Should Be Closed

I paid a month, due to COVID they locked my loved one in her room. My loved one was there for only a week before she was back in the hospital. The community charged me for the whole entire month and didn't prorate it for just the week my loved one was there. Nobody made reminders to remind my loved one to do daily activities of living.

I would highly recommend Prairie Winds to anyone looking for an assisted living community. The staff is friendly, helpful and supportive. The facility is clean and well maintained. And the added benefit is that they will accept Medicaid once you are no longer able to private pay for the services.

A wonderful place

The staff are superb in meeting our needs. They are friendly and greet each resident by name. Mom likes the food and has even started participating in a few of the activities such as movie night. They keep the community clean as well as they clean her apartment once a week. They do her laundry and change her sheets once a week. I like that they focused on mom during our tour and not the family. This community does accept medicaid.

I came to the Prairie Winds of Urbana for a tour. I was not impressed at all. The tour guide seemed like he wanted me to leave fast he did not give me a proper tour. The whole time he was in hurry and made me feel like i was bothering him. The community was clean and organized but with the quick tour i took i was not able to get very much information.

Prairie Winds of Urbana Is Perfect

Prairie Winds is the perfect place for my Dad. The staff is so helpful and everyone, including the residents, were so welcoming to Dad. A lot of them were calling him by his name 2 days after he moved in! All amenities are included in the monthly rent which is great. They have nursing staff in the building 24/7. They have daily activities. They have vans available for shopping and doctor appointments. They have housecleaning and laundry service. The dining room serves three meals a day and residents are able to cho…
