Prairie Hills at Ottumwa

I have volunteered here several times and it is such a fun, welcoming environment! There are so many fun activities and so many happy faces!

July of 2013 was a good day for my parents. My Dad told me to find a place were they could live. He had a heart that wanted our Mother established in a home where she would get help if something should happen to him. He passed in March of 2014 and Mother was left to a wonderful loving caring family. Prairie Hills has helped her through so much. She is now sight impaired and has trouble finding her way yet she is alert. The assisted living has given her many things to be proud of. She lives in her own apartment with help in her medications and they make sure her bird feeder is even kept full. We her children are so happy to see our mother happy with her living arrangements. Thank you to the staff at Prairie Hills for all you do for her and for all the other residents who always are active and doing things. I would recommend Prairie Hills Assisted Living to other who need a good place to live with some help. The meals are good or at least that is what Mom tells us.

I want to give our heartfelt thank you to ALL the staff at Prairie hills. It takes special people to care for the elderly. Even when they was challenged they found a way to make it work. It takes a team to do all they do from the kitchen to maintenance. Secretary to front office. However the loving staff on each shift ,minute by minute stay strong and care for the elderly. Thank all of you as a team making it work for my family and taking great care of P. Dwayne Yates.

Our Mom has now been at Prairie Hills for over a year now. She is truly enjoying living in this wonderful active community. There are lots of activities to choose from every day, including regularly scheduled trips around the area to see all that's going on. She enjoys her apartment and is able to keep track of the visiting birds, deer, and other wildlife outside her window. The staff is absolutely wonderful, keeping everything operating smoothly, and their care and attention to the happiness and well being of all residents is wonderful to see. In addition, the Facebook page is actively managed, enabling family and friends to see all the activities and happenings.
