Seen with my own eyes what great care they offer. They have wonderful CNA’s, Cleaning crew, and Nurses. Walk in and feel right at home. It might be an older home but the care is the best around.

I love visiting with the residents at East Prairie Senior Living. They are such a blessing in my life. The staff is polite and cheerful. The activity coordinator is especially sweet. She goes out of her way to ensure the residents always have a craft, karaoke, games to be doing. Ms. Jamie is a loving and kind administrator.

There are some workers there that actually care and do their job to take care of the residents there but one person can't do it all it takes a team.

Neglectful, rude staff. This place does not care about your loved ones!

Do not send your family to this facility. They are neglectful and quite frankly should be reported for elder abuse. They would not allow us to see our dying grandmother. Then when we finally told them we were coming anyway they told us she hadn’t eaten in 5 DAYS! Yes. They would not have told us if we weren’t coming. She was covered in feces, had not been bathed, and her teeth hadn’t been brushed in over a week. She wouldn’t even look at us. This place should be shut down and the administrator should be fired
