Snell Residential Home Care Inc in Milbank, South Dakota, gives older adults a place that feels like a real home, where people can get assisted living, nursing care, home healthcare, and special help for memory loss, dementia, and Alzheimer's. The main site, called Snell Residential Care Home and also Snell's Residential Adult Care Home, has a South Dakota state license-67590 for Snell Residential Care Home and 10873 for Snell's Residential Adult Care Home-and each building has room for four residents, so it's a small place where people get lots of attention and staff know everyone by name, which can make a big difference to those who don't like big crowds or who might need a peaceful setting to feel at ease. Folks can get help with bathing, eating, dressing, taking medicine, housekeeping, and even getting around if legs get tired or sore, plus there's companion care, respite care for short stays, and hospice for those who need it.
There's nursing staff who take care of health checks, set up medicine, and keep an eye on how residents are doing, and they've got an emergency pendant system and in-room buttons if someone needs quick help. The place lets people bring their pets, which can be a real comfort to someone who'd miss their home if they had to leave a dog or cat behind. Meals are home-cooked, and the menu can be changed for people who have problems with blood pressure or diabetes, and all meals and utilities are included except the phone.
The activities list is long and covers a lot of things like games, arts and crafts, movies in a special theater room, music, reading, fitness and walking groups, social nights, art activities, and even therapy with pets or music to brighten the mood, while there's also a book room, a spa, and a salon for folks who want a haircut or just to feel a bit pampered. Rooms range from studio suites to shared apartments to single bedrooms, and they've all got emergency pull cords and options for privacy or sharing as each person wants, plus there's big screen TVs, computer access, a communal dining room, and grounds where someone can just sit and enjoy the day if they're able to get outside.
They take special care with memory issues, providing a safe, locked home for people who might wander, with special colors, routine monitoring, and activities for brain health. Folks with dementia or Alzheimer's get close attention, routine health monitoring, and help during meal times, and there's a dedicated care team with training for this kind of work. They offer therapy like physical, occupational, and speech therapy for those who need to get stronger or keep up their skills, and nurses visit every month to make sure health concerns don't get missed. Respite care gives families a break, and hospice care is there for comfort at life's end.
Snell Residential Home Care Inc stays small in size-only up to 12 residents across all its care homes-and that means people who like a quiet environment can find it here. The monthly cost is about $3,340, which covers nearly everything. The place sits near churches, shops, doctors, and other local services, so seniors can keep a bit of their routines if they want. The staff can arrange rides to appointments or church, and the setting is meant to be as much like home as possible, with daily chores, food, and clothes washing handled by staff, and plenty of ways to stay active or just relax. The neighborhood itself is pretty typical for the area, with many middle-class households, and this fits the plain and comfortable style the home keeps. Snell Residential Home Care Inc gives older adults a steady, friendly place where they can keep living life, get the help they need, and find support for both body and mind.
