The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars.

Prairie Mission Retirement Village accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, consistent with its dual certification status. Individuals seeking placement at this facility may be eligible to have costs covered through Medicare for qualifying short-term stays following a hospital admission, or through Medicaid for long-term residential care if financial and functional eligibility requirements are met. Private pay arrangements may also be available, and families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (620) 449-2400 to confirm current payment options and availability. When compared to national averages, Prairie Mission Retirement Village presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating and 4-star health inspection rating suggest performance that exceeds the national norm in those categories. However, the 2-star quality measure rating indicates that clinical outcome metrics tracked by CMS are an area where the facility performs below average. The staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with the national midpoint.
