You're not alone in this

Is It Time?

Signs Your Loved One May Need More Support

Most families wait too long. By the time the decision feels urgent, the stress is overwhelming — for everyone. Here are the signs that it may be time to explore assisted living:

⚠️ Difficulty managing medications, missing doses regularly
⚠️ Struggling with daily tasks — bathing, dressing, cooking
⚠️ Increased isolation, withdrawal from activities they loved
⚠️ Weight loss or signs of poor nutrition
⚠️ Recent falls or mobility concerns
⚠️ You're worried every time you leave them alone

If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth having a conversation. Our free assessment can help you understand what level of care makes sense — with no pressure and no commitment required.

Our Story

Built by a Family.
Run for Families.

"We treat every resident like family because they are."

In 2004, Jerry and Suzy purchased Prairie Gardens Assisted Living — not as investors, but as people who believed senior care could be done differently. In 2010, they expanded the facility by adding 18 units, growing to serve even more families across Dane County.

Jerry and Suzy are still here every day — greeting residents at breakfast, knowing every name, making sure this place never feels like an institution.

This isn't a corporate chain. There's no distant owner making decisions from a spreadsheet. Their commitment shows in the homestyle meals, the long-term staff, and residents who are genuinely happy.

Our Mission

Devoted to Creating a Better Quality of Life

Jerry and Suzy Harbort purchased Prairie Gardens in 2004 and have devoted their lives to helping seniors adjust to a new stage of life. In 2010, they expanded by adding 18 units. Their mission from day one: create a genuinely better quality of life for every resident.

They believed seniors deserved real homes, not just rooms — and that belief drives everything we do today.
