Badger Prairie provides comprehensive person-centered and goal-oriented services. Our objective is to meet the needs of the whole person, including physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual needs.
In addition to our skilled nurses, we also staff MDs and psychiatrists who make rounds weekly.
Our facility:
Our newly constructed building opened on February 23, 2011. It features twelve (12) households, each with its own dining room, sunroom, and living room. Households also have private bedrooms, private bathrooms, and access to outdoor patios.
Badger Prairie offers two households with delayed egress and two locked households for those residents who need a higher level of supervision.
The nursing support areas throughout the care center are in discreet spots. This ensures they are not the dominant feature of resident life while still allowing the staff to work efficiently. We want to create a home-like environment and keep our residents feeling safe and comfortable.
Recreation Therapy uses recreation services and leisure experiences to help people with limitations enhance - physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Recreation Activity Therapy staff at BPHCC selects activity programs that are utilized to treat or maintain the physical, mental and emotional well being of individuals served. These interventions help individuals reduce the effects of illness or disability and achieve an optimal level of personal independence. The goals of interventions include improving physical, cognitive and social functioning.
