Assisted Living Options
Offered to Prairie View Lodge Independent Living Suite Tenants

Prairie View Lodge (PVL) Board is excited to offer additional Assisted Living Services to those Tenants living in the Prairie View Lodge Independent Living Suites. While there is always the option to obtain meals from the Kitchen at present, we have had requests to add even more additional services.

The PVL Assisted Living Package will include 2 meals a day and snacks, weekly light housekeeping and laundry services. This package is being offered as an option to everyone who is currently a Tenant, as well as to all new tenants. If a Tenant declines the package and finds at a later date they would like to take advantage of the services, they can sign up at any time. The cost of the package would then be added to their suite rent. The service is designed to provide the services so that our Tenants can "Age in Place"; remaining in their home comfortably.

As is currently the practice, there are no personal care services provided to the Independent Living Suite Tenants by PVL the staff; however there are some social opportunities. The Tenant Wellness Coordinator works three days a week and offers programs including games, coffee gatherings, exercise groups and 1- 1visits. There is also a variety of other entertainment as well as the weekly Church Services held at PVL.

If you have any inquiries or would like to apply for a suite or the Assisted Living package please contact the PCH Business office or call 204-825-2246 Ext 0 or 204-873-2132
