WEL-Life at Plum Creek sits at 1505 N Adams St in Lexington and offers several different kinds of living for seniors. There's independent living for seniors who are still active and want their own space, assisted living for those who just need a bit of help with daily things, and memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia where they've set things up so people don't get confused or wander off. The Stone Hearth Estates part of the community offers all three of these kinds of care, so people can find the right spot for what they need. The place is linked to the old Plum Creek Care Center and has skilled nursing, rehab care, and adult day services through Plum Creek Healthcare Community. There's also home health help by WEL-HOME Health of Lexington and different therapies like physical, speech, and occupational available.
People living here can bring pets-both cats and dogs-and use Wi-Fi and high-speed internet. There's transportation and parking for getting around, plus a beauty salon, a dining room for meals, and a wellness center for keeping active. Social and recreational activities get planned by a full-time activity director, and there are devotional activities off-site and different outings to places nearby like cafes, restaurants, pharmacies, hospitals, and churches. Folks get help with things like laundry, housekeeping, and dietary needs. Staff can help manage incontinence, diabetic needs, and non-ambulatory care. Nursing and medical services are available, too, and there are private rooms for people who want more privacy.
There's a Scrub-A-Dub program, trips and field outings, adult day care options, and the staff numbers over 60 people to keep things running. They do respite care if someone just needs a short stay and help people who want to transition between different types of care. Nutritious meals get served, and there's supervision for those who need it. The place is owned by Lexington Investors LLC of Spearfish, SD, and there've been talks about expanding, including new parking and district facilities. It sits near a proposed temporary shelter for homeless and transitional living, and the community has services connected to transition and homeless shelter proposals. Residents get a comfortable environment with both community spaces and private areas, and there's a focus on health, social activities, and staying as independent as possible for as long as they can.
