Our Services

Residential Living

At Prairie Elder Care, our residential living communities provide specialized dementia care in a warm, home-like environment where every individual is known, valued, and supported. Our compassionate team focuses on building meaningful relationships while creating opportunities for connection, purpose, and joy through personalized activities, therapeutic engagement, time outdoors, and daily routines designed to promote comfort, dignity, and overall well-being.

Day Program

Prairie Elder Care's Adult Day Program offers a welcoming and engaging environment for older adults living with memory loss and other age-related challenges. Through meaningful activities, cognitive enrichment, social connection, movement, music, and personalized support, participants experience a sense of purpose, belonging, and joy while caregivers gain valuable peace of mind and support.

Three C's Care Foundation

Founded in 2026, the 3C's Care Foundation was established to support the wider dementia care community through meaningful partnerships, educational opportunities, scholarships, and specialized programming for individuals living with dementia and the family members who care for them. Guided by our commitment to community, connection, and compassion, the foundation works to expand access to resources, foster understanding, and create opportunities for individuals and families to thrive through every stage of the dementia journey.

A Place to Call Home

Our Homes

Each of our homes has been thoughtfully designed to support individuals living with dementia by creating a safe, comfortable, and easy-to-navigate environment that feels just like home. Spacious common areas encourage social connection and meaningful engagement, while our highly trained caregivers provide individualized support with an low caregiver-to-resident ratio. Every detail of our homes is intentionally designed to promote dignity, independence, familiarity, and a sense of belonging.

  • 24/7 Clinical Support Nursing support is available around the clock, with physicians who round weekly and remain on call 24 hours a day to help ensure residents receive timely, attentive care.
  • Exceptional Staff-to-Resident Ratio A 5:1 staff-to-resident ratio, and often even higher, allows our team to provide more individualized attention, meaningful engagement, and responsive care throughout the day.
  • Comprehensive Services Brought to the Home A variety of outside healthcare and personal services—including laboratory services, dental care, podiatry, psychiatry, and hairstyling—can come directly to the home, providing convenience, comfort, and continuity of care for our residents.
  • Small, Intimate Homes & Thoughtfully Designed Spaces Our smaller household settings and thoughtfully designed living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces create a comfortable, home-like environment where residents can build meaningful relationships, maintain independence, and enjoy everyday life.
Residential Engagement

Life at the Farm

At Prairie Elder Care, we believe joy comes from being engaged in life—not simply from filling a calendar with activities. Every shared meal, lively conversation, walk outdoors, laugh, celebration, and everyday moment is an opportunity to connect, discover purpose, and experience joy. We create opportunities for residents to be active participants in their days, surrounded by people who know them, value their stories, and celebrate what makes them uniquely who they are. With a deep respect for each person’s individuality, our team nurtures independence, dignity, connection, and a true sense of belonging—creating an environment where residents can continue to live fully, find meaning in each day, and experience the simple pleasures that make life worth celebrating.

What Makes Us Different

Nurse-Led. Purpose-Driven. Dementia Care at the Highest Level.

Prairie Elder Care was built around a shared belief: people living with dementia deserve more than supervision - they deserve a life filled with Community, Connection and Control.

Our ownership brings together two complementary areas of expertise. As a nurse co-owned dementia care community, we bring a clinical perspective directly into the operation of our homes. Our co-owner's extensive background in activities and engagement helps ensure that meaningful purpose and quality of life remain at the center of everything we do. Our leaders have completed the highest level of specialized dementia training, and this expertise influences how we train our caregivers making sure they have the knowledge and tools to understand the complexities of dementia.

At Prairie Elder Care, clinical knowledge, dementia expertise, and meaningful engagement come together in a small-home environment. We don't simply care for people living with dementia. We work to understand the person, preserve their abilities, create purpose, and help them continue to live a meaningful life.

Real Care. Real Reviews.

Our mom joined the Prairie Elder Care family three months ago. It is hard to put into words how wonderful they have made the transition from her home of 47 years in a different state to Prairie Elder. We are so grateful for our experience starting with our tour, to getting strategies on how to make a successful move, and helping her transition. Each time I walk in I feel at home and love the interactions between the staff and the residents. The communication is excellent and the care is exceptional. The staff, residents, and family of the residents are all so welcoming and in just three months feel like family to me too! As my mom said today, "I'm happy and everyone around here seems happy too!" I truly think Prairie Elder is the best of Kansas City!

Time had come to decide where my wife Beverly was going to go as Alzheimer’s was making her difficult to manage. I was not sure of what we might find. Friends kept telling me about Prairie Elder Care especially because of its uniqueness, The Farmstead. Finally one of our sons said “ let’s take a look!”

When the door opened you could feel the electricity of the group batting the balloon around to each other. We watched for a few minutes then stepped on the patio and saw the animals: goats and pigs, special chickens and a beautiful produce garden right in front of your eyes. I was sold!

It is a facility like no other and the caring and giving is outstanding 24/7. It has become a home away from home with everyone looking after all the residents as if they were their own. Before you decide you need to explore Prairie Elder Care Farmstead, I think you would like for your loved one to be here also.
