My experience at Prairie Heights was absolutely fantastic. I went there after my heart surgery. All the people who worked there were so caring. I grew to really love the staff. Thanks to Prairie Heights for all that you did.

My home is here and after an accident that put me in the hospital and nursing home in Arizona. When I was able to come home I had to decide what nursing home. I will tell you I got the Hilton compared to where I was in Arizona.<br>Prarie Heights was our choice. I can’t say enough good. The staff is amazing. Their therapy program is amazing. Food was good.<br>Thank you for taking such good care of me. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again if I had to.

My stay at Prairie Heights was unplanned. When I got over being away from my husband I came to realize it was for my own good. Everyone knew my name.it made you feel like they really knew you. The accommodations were comfortable for me. The therapy staff was loving & very caring. They even surprised me by singing Happy Birthday. The food was different than what I was used to, but I made do. At first I was bummed by short visiting hours, but we made it work. All in all, I left Prairie Hights a new person with a repaired heart...❤️
