Avera Street Benedict Living sits at 705 E Ash St in Parkston, South Dakota, and takes care of older adults with a mix of health and everyday support, so if you're looking for nursing care, assisted living, or even memory care for Alzheimer's or dementia, they've worked all that into the care they give, and you'll find round-the-clock supervision, and people can get help with bathing, dressing, and managing medicines. Meals come prepared by chefs and planners, and folks who need diabetic care, special diets, or help with getting around can find that support here, with wheelchair accessible showers, incontinence care, and even services for people who can't move around much by themselves.
Animals are part of the place, and the staff speaks several languages-including Dutch, Portuguese, Romanian, and Vietnamese-which is pretty rare around here. There's both independent living for those who can mostly take care of themselves and home care help for seniors who choose to stay in their own homes. The community has indoor spaces for relaxing or socializing, devotional activities, and both on-site and off-site programs to keep everyone busy and engaged, so people aren't just sitting around. There's a day care called Avera St. Benedict Day Care right on the property and a variety of specialized health services, like massage therapy, physical rehab, hospice, and even some special attention for people with diabetes.
The place is licensed for 134 residents and part of the larger Avera senior network, so you get that connection to a well-known local health care organization, and if you need transportation, there's a service for that, too. Folks can expect 24-hour care, a focus on safety for those who wander or have memory trouble, and a range of activities to engage people's minds and bodies. Meals, health care, and housing come together in a single spot here, and you can find both short-term help and longer-term accommodations, whatever fits the situation best.
