Skilled Nursing at Prairie View Home
Prairie View Home was the beginning of it all starting back in 1966. Licensed as a 55-bed skilled nursing facility, Prairie View Home’s employees are dedicated individuals who come to work everyday and do their best to make a difference in the lives of our customers.
Offering not only “skilled” care but, intermediate and hospice care as well, Prairie View Home is made up of both single and double rooms. The layout of Prairie View Home is best described as a “T”. Consisting of a west, east, south& southeast halls the building also offers many special areas for residents and their families to gather. A large activity room located down the east hall is the sight of many bingo games, musical entertainment, church services, exercises, parties, etc. We also have a library area at the end of the east hall, a spacious therapy room within our southeast hall, a private family meeting room up by the front offices and a social room located right off the main dining room. One thing we love to do around here is eat and that might explain why the coffee is always on, popcorn is always popping and the ice-cream machine is such a big hit.
A beauty shop is located within Prairie View Home and we have a licensed beautician on staff who is available weekly by appointment for that much needed haircut, perm or set.
Services offered at the facility include nursing care, 3 meals a day plus snacks, free cable TV, housekeeping, personal laundry, physical/occupational/speech therapy consultations and treatments, daily restorative therapy, an activity program, social services, doctor visits, pharmacy consultation, dietician, ET nurse consultation and treatments and much more.
Our pricing is based on whether or not you have chosen a semi-private or private room. We do not do levels of care nor do we charge additional fees for personal care items. Prairie View Home does accept Medicaid, Medicare & some Medicare Advantage Plan payments for services rendered to qualifying residents. For customers whom have depleted their personal finances and are in need of financial assistance through the state to cover their stay at the facility, we are able to assist you with this application process AT NO COST.
Long term care insurance has become a very common thing over the past years and we currently have several residents whom have long term care insurance policies residing at our facility. Prairie View Home has been approved by more than two-dozen companies and the office staff have become experts in assisting families with all the paperwork needing to be completed for their family member to receive reimbursement from their policy. Just one more of those extras we like to help out with.

2026 Medicare Guide
An Easy Guide to the Skilled Nursing Facility Benefits Covered by Medicare
How Medicare Works
Q. Is skilled nursing facility care covered automatically by Medicare?
A. No. To qualify for coverage, the patient must first have a three day hospital stay, and his or her physician must certify that skilled nursing care or skilled rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, or speech therapy) are medically necessary.
Q. How many days of care does Medicare cover?
A. Medicare Part A covers up to 100 days of care per “benefit period”, also referred to as “spell of illness” in a skilled nursing facility. Covered days may be used consecutively or over several shorter stays. During the resident’s stay, medical evaluations will periodically be made to determine the continued need for skilled nursing care or rehabilitation service. When these skilled services are no longer needed on a daily basis, the Medicare coverage will end – even if 100 days have not elapsed.
Q. Do all nursing homes admit Medicare patients?
A. No. A nursing home must be classified as a “skilled nursing facility” to be eligible for the Medicare program. In addition, the skilled nursing facility must also elect to participate in the program. Not all facilities who are eligible choose to take part in the Medicare program.
