Facility Overview

At Prairie Pines, you’re more than a tenant—you’re part of an active community. Our assisted living facility in Fosston is an apartment building with added services. Assisted living is an ideal choice for people who no longer want to live on their own but aren’t in need of 24-hour skilled nursing care. We give seniors the ability to lead an independent lifestyle while having access to the care they need.During the day, you can join your neighbors in our large commons room with a fireplace. We also plan both onsite and offsite activities all tenants can partake in. Then, retreat to your private, spacious apartment that’s decorated to your liking. You can choose to have many of your daily living needs taken care of for you, like cooking or laundry. Our friendly, responsive staff do their best to make you feel at home. If you need a higher level of medical care, the Essentia hospital, clinic, and long-term care center are right next door.
