The Willkommen Committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce recently welcomed the new owners of Vista Prairie Communities.  Vista Prairie at Ridgeway has two locations, on 23rd N Street and on German Street.  They are non-profit, mission-driven communities that offer a specialized care unit at each location and 92 assisted living apartments and 24 memory care suites between the two.  The staff are dedicated to helping their residents feel like they belong and live life with purpose – helping them transition and deal with the sense of loss they may feel when moving to a place where they no longer live on their own.  They are currently asking for referrals for new residents as well as new staff members.  If you’re interested in learning more, you can visit their website at www.vistaprairie.org.
