A Home on the Bluffs

“It’s like living in a vacation”, says new resident LeeAnn Kronlokken about moving to Prairie Bluff Senior Living. “We still live in Eden Prairie and it’s easy for friends and family to visit”. Husband Jim agrees and adds, “We’re very comfortable here and couldn’t ask for better amenities, and the staff is amazing”.

Stephanie Frederik, with Marquis Senior Communities, says, ““Making residents feel like they are home was a goal.” “You can see our focus on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in the details, like using design elements that mimic the surrounding colors of the nearby Minnesota River Valley.” This helps residents feel connected to the area.

Marquis has deep experience creating ideal senior living communities. Prairie Bluffs is the latest project, conveniently located close to Pioneer Trail and Highway 169. Living options include:

  • Luxury independent living 
  • Worry free assisted living
  • Individualized memory care, and
  • Transitional Care programs

Amenities vary for each program but are designed to enhance quality of life at all levels. Stephanie says that many of the apartments have full kitchens, washers and dryers, along with decks and patios. Prairie Bluffs is also pet-friendly. Dining options include an on-site Classic Pub, a Bistro and restaurant style dining with an in-house Chef. There is also a private dining room which residents can reserve for private dinners. Residents also enjoy an on-site theater, fitness center, salon, library with a reading room, weekly housekeeping, outdoor patio with grilling, doggie play area, outdoor firepit, walking pathways, additional storage, guest suites, and scheduled complimentary transportation.
