Golden LivingCenter - Madison is a nursing home and skilled nursing facility located at 718 NE 8th St in Madison, SD, and you'll find 62 certified beds with 59 residents, which means there are usually a few open spots but it's usually pretty full, and while it's a for-profit corporation, they do participate in Medicare and Medicaid programs so residents can pay in several ways, including private insurance, military or VA benefits, cash, or checks. The building's got a full fire sprinkler system and isn't part of a hospital or a larger retirement community, though there is some connection with Beverly Healthcare-Madison at the same address, which might just be another part of the operation. The staff includes RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, and they have an RN-only staffing model with about 0.56 RN hours per resident, so there's nursing care around the clock. People living here get individual care plans, so whatever help with daily activities like getting dressed, eating, or taking medicine that someone might need, the staff has it covered, plus medical care for things like wound care or managing pain, pressure sores, urinary tract infections and other health issues.
Golden LivingCenter - Madison also provides memory care for residents who have Alzheimer's or dementia, with special programs and a secure area for safety, and if someone needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy, there are dedicated rehab and therapy services available, both for people living in the building and those coming in for outpatient rehab. Anyone needing temporary care or some relief for family caregivers can use respite care services. They provide long-term care, hospice, independent living options for active seniors, and adult day services. Assisted living is also here, with meal programs that include one or two prepared meals a day, personal care help, medication management, laundry, and housekeeping. There are on-site medical services, routine vaccines for flu and pneumonia, and many activities designed to help people stay social and connected with each other.
You'll find amenities meant for comfort and well-being, and the facility works hard to promote each resident's independence and quality of life through personalized service. The building isn't new, but the staff track health indicators, hold both Resident and Family Councils, and follow clear policies for assessing needs with daily living tasks. Golden LivingCenter - Madison is not listed as a Special Focus Facility, so it meets state and federal standards, and surveys include health inspections and nurse staffing reviews. There's a mix of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, rehab, memory care, and some home care services to fit different needs, and the occupancy rate stays high, around 95%, so it can be busy. This center accepts different pay sources and is set up for both short stays and long-term support, with a focus on medical care, rehabilitation, and making life a little easier for its residents.
