Fees and Level of Care
At Prairie Senior Cottages, the level of care is defined by the need and the wishes of the family. Prior to a resident being admitted, we complete an assessment by working together with all concerned to develop a comprehensive level of care, which will determine the resident’s monthly fee. The resident’s monthly fee will increase proportionately as the resident’s care requirements increase. Contact our Family Support Specialist (507-550-0566) to find out more about the fees for the cottage you are inquiring about.
