Our read on Prairie View Healthcare Center

Prairie View runs leaner than most. At 3.61 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 6% under the national average, and weekends drop roughly 11% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. The bigger red flag is turnover: 73.1% of staff leaving annually against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses are constantly new, and familiarity is hard to build. Inspections turned up 11 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus an $8,512 fine; the last survey was July 2025. For-profit LLC ownership, 42 beds, staffing and quality star ratings that don't match each other. Worth a visit on a weekend.
