►► Prairie Elder Homes: A comforting alternative to traditional institutional care. Passion and commitment is our homes’ foundations

Prairie Elder Homes are not corporation-owned or one of a hundred chains. Our homes are managed and run by Mandy and Michala, two women committed to continuous learning and seeking the most proven, best practices used to care for and engage people living with dementia. They hire skilled caregivers who share their passion for learning and attend training on a regular basis.

>> Prairie Elder Homes Offer Residential Memory Care Second to None

Prairie Elder Homes offer care that is second to none—a bold statement, but one you can believe. Here, we strive to fill our residents’ days with meaningful activities matched to their interests and functional level. Activities focus on creating positive feelings of accomplishment.

>> Residential Neighborhoods & only 6 to 8 residents for personal care

Our homes are located in residential neighborhoods, which help our residents adjust to a new setting because it’s much like their own homes. The setting is intimate with only six to eight residents, and we consider it their home. Through building trusting relationships with family, each of our residents is treated and cared for as an individual. We pay attention to and care about the details of your loved one’s history, preferred routines and lifestyle. At Prairie Elder Homes, their days and activities are too. One of the unique features you will find in a Prairie Elder Home is the >>Snoezelen Approach> Premium, personalized shouldn’t come only at a premium price

You want the best memory care for your loved one. And price shouldn’t be an obstacle. Everyone deserves dignity and loving care. That’s why Prairie Elder Homes are comparably priced to “institution” facilities. Our all-inclusive monthly fees include:

♦ Three home-cooked meals plus snacks always available
♦ Safe and secure environment
♦ 24-hour, on-site care
♦ Nurse oversight
♦ Assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing and personal care
♦ Weekly special therapies such as art therapy and music therapy
♦ Medication management and administration
♦ Incontinence care
♦ Personalized daily activities utilizing a Montessori strength based approach
♦ Community outings
♦ Family and community events

>> Not quite ready for full residential living? We have a small number of adult day care openings each weekday. Memory care is different here. Please contact us for a free and confidential consultation. 913.257.5425

The weather outside this week was frightful but inside at PEC was so delightful 🎶🥰. We help prepare some warm and comforting meals; our PEC can really cook!we did many crafty, creative, and community inspired activities. The beaded Christmas tree was a big hit.

We baked some holiday goodies, enjoyed our hair appointments with Robin✂️🪞, and getting our nails done by Chrissy at Farm East💅. A big thank you to Mark Harmon for leading our PEC Friends in Faith in each house on Wednesday⛪️. Happy Birthday to Barb at Farm West. We enjoyed celebrating you🎉. We enjoyed working with the therapy team at Prairie Health KC, doing exercise class each morning, and doing a really fun tree creation with Lisa in each house. We did puzzles, brain games, and lived our live music this week. Thank you to Mike who sang and played guitar on Monday and Anna who played piano in Friday 🎶.

PEC Friday Flash✨
This week was filled with science, songs, sweets, and students. We did a Magic Spoon excitement with Kurtis🥄,helped prepare meals and made brownies. We did a cool Paper Collage with Lisa, we did a Magic Milk experiment with Kurtis, and enjoyed live music with Mike🎶. Our PEC veterans visited all the houses. They talked about Veteran’s Day and their experiences. We were happy to honor them all🇺🇸. We made homemade peach cobbler and pies, went to the Grandparent’s reading program in Mrs. Sherwoods class at Stilwell Elementary♥️, and helped in the kitchens👨‍🍳.
We enjoyed live music with Richelle🎸, doing art projects, and visiting the PEC Day Program. We ended the week with Farm Fridays🐔, the CNA students are a pleasure to have onsite. Michelle King from the ALZ Association worked with the students💜,
Ray visited the houses and played his harmonica, and Kurtis ran a “ Plunco” game with prizes🏆.

Allyson & Lisa got an early start to their Monday. They are attending the Blue Valley Advisory meeting. The guest speaker is Dr. Randy Watson, KS Department of Education. Then they are off to collaborate and advise the Exploring Health Professions, CAPS Medicine Strand. This is just another way Prairie Elder Care is committed to their residents, their staff, the dementia community, and the youth we welcome weekly to the Farmstead who are tomorrow healthcare workers. 🏆♥️
BTW-the number one job needed in KS? Healthcare workers.

We have fully thrown ourselves into Fall🍁🎃. We are enjoying jumping in and helping bake away. We made apple turnovers and cinnamon pull apart to start the week. The weather has been lovely so we are visiting the neighbors, walking Hank the PEC therapy dog 🐶, and taking walks ourselves. We loved on Hank in the houses, did some pretty cool science experiments with Kurtis, and helped around the houses. The PEC Men’s Group met at the Lakehouse this month. Thank you to Mark Harmon who led the group in spiritual study. ⛪️Conversation, coffee, and donuts were enjoyed. And the men all looked pretty spiffy in their ties.👔We sat on the porches, visited Mrs. Sherwoods class to do reading with the students. A highlight of our week for sure!📚 We enjoyed National Donut Day🍩
(Thank you Ascend Hospice for the donuts!), delicious Fall season lunches, and made homemade pumpkin bread with Kurtis🎃. The houses all smelled of Fall spices.🍁 We ended the week with Farm Fridays and the CAPS students in all the houses♥️,
outside time, and ended the day with happy hour🍻.
