House of Joy Now Open!

House of Joy, the newest addition to the Prairie Home family of residences, opened its doors ahead of schedule on October 1. “It’s absolutely beautiful,” says John McCarthy of the new 20-room home. “We are thrilled with the way this home is designed and furnished. But even more than that. we are excited to be able to extend care to more families.”

Like the other Prairie Homes, the rooms at House of Joy are phone, cable and Internet ready, waiting for each resident’s personal furnishings and decorating touches. This new home also features a private (rather than shared) half bath, along with room-by-room temperature controls. The House of Joy is larger than the existing Prairie Homes, offering gracious sitting areas where residents can read, chat among themselves, or visit with family and friends. The family friendly library is stocked with puzzles, books and games. A large gathering area off the dining room features a fireplace and flat screen TV, and overlooks a newly created pond. Nearby, a cheerful sunroom opens onto a back patio and offers a place to rock and enjoy the day. Wheelchair accessible walking trails have now been linked to existing trails at Prairie Homes, enabling residents and visitors to enjoy the garden courtyards.
