Prairie Creek Village in Decatur

Sharon

My mom is at Prairie Creek Village. We have only seen her once there. She was in isolation of course for a couple of weeks, but she seems to like it there. They seem to take decent care of her, so I'm happy with that. However, it's a hard place to get a hold of my mom. I know they're busy, but a lot of times they don't answer the phone, and that I did not like. She is on the fifth floor. We would meet with her downstairs. They would bring her down in the lobby. There is a double door, and then there is an entryway. We sit there and she is on the other side of the glass. I have not been in there to see their activities, but they said they do them. My mom is on the dementia floor and they have different activities there. They probably have bingo and games. It is a big, tall building. It looks nice outside. The inside is clean from what I've seen. The staff seems to be nice and fairly knowledgeable. They seem OK. I have not really seen that much of their facility. We can't get in there to really look around it, but it looks OK. I think all nursing homes are overpriced, but they're probably average.
