We are thrilled to announce that Tom Zukowski has joined our team as the new Director of Prairie Cottages in Owatonna! Tom brings extensive experience, enthusiasm, and a dedication to building meaningful connections within our community.

Tom’s journey is as dynamic as it is inspiring. Born and raised in Wisconsin, he pursued a career in coaching and sports apparel, dedicating over 30 years to mentoring and shaping teams. After coaching, Tom transitioned into senior living, where his passion for creating vibrant, supportive environments has flourished. From independent living to assisted living and memory care, Tom has gained a deep understanding of building thriving communities.

What stands out most about Tom is his passion for people. He values the wisdom and experiences of older adults and works to ensure every resident feels engaged, cared for, and part of a larger family. With a focus on teamwork, he excels at uniting staff, fostering collaboration, and creating moments of joy for residents and their families.

Tom’s Midwest roots and love for the area make Owatonna a great fit. Outside work, he enjoys cooking, staying active, and spending time with his two children, who live nearby.
Please join us in giving Tom a warm welcome to Prairie Cottages. He looks forward to meeting each of you and continuing our mission to connecting, caring, and creating moments of joy.
