Our read on Prairie Estates

Prairie Estates runs 3.38 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 16% below its own weekday numbers. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. The inspection record carries 23 deficiencies, two of them at the harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and CMS has fined the home twice for $24,587 total. Its quality measure rating is strong at 5 out of 5, and the last inspection was recent, in March 2026. Corporate-owned with 180 beds, Prairie Estates looks like a home where resident care measures well but day-to-day staffing is the weak point worth asking about directly.
