Heritage Senior Living, found at 211 North West 1st Street in Madison, South Dakota, has a quiet, peaceful setting and room for up to 26 residents, offering both private and semi-private, fully-furnished rooms for seniors ages 62 and up, with income-subsidized options. Staff speak several languages, including Filipino, Korean, Chinese, Russian, Hungarian, and Polish, helping residents feel more comfortable. The community gives round-the-clock supervision, a 24-hour call system, and secured areas made for memory care and those who might wander, so people living here stay safe. Heritage Senior Living delivers care types like assisted living, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, independent living, skilled nursing, adult day care, respite care for short-term stays, in-home residential care, and hospice, all planned to match what a senior may need at each stage of life.
Staff have the training to handle behavioral concerns and can manage medications including injections, plus regular medication reminders and monitoring for chronic conditions like diabetes, and help with all activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, transfers, and meals, too. They work with outside healthcare providers for things like therapy, and bring in specialists for speech therapy if needed. Non-ambulatory seniors get the needed help with moving around the facility, which is wheelchair-friendly. Physical and mental wellbeing are encouraged with scheduled music therapy, pet therapy, movie nights, and book and arts rooms, and there's a full fitness center, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, barber or beauty salon, garden, chapel, and walking paths that run through the landscaped campus.
Three homemade meals are served daily, with dietary needs considered, including allergy concerns, diabetes management, and high blood pressure, and there's all-day dining if a resident doesn't want to eat at a set time. Apartments include smoke-free choices and high-speed internet, as well as telephone and TV, and there's an emergency alert system in every room. Residents can take part in many community activities, either sponsored by the facility or run by the residents themselves, like organized movie nights or faith-based gatherings in the chapel, and there's a focus on staying active with exercise schedules and creative programs.
Transportation and parking are available, though rides might have an extra fee, and staff help with errands, travel to the doctor, or group outings. Heritage Senior Living supports pets for those who want animal companionship, and offers pet care as part of the services. Staff coordinate closely to make each care plan personal, and there's a focus on holistic wellbeing, with care levels that change as health needs do. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and maintenance-free living make day-to-day life easier for residents. Heritage Senior Living first opened its doors in 2007 and continues to support seniors with various services, aiming to keep people happy, healthy, and safe as they age.
