Tekakwitha Living Center sits in Sisseton, South Dakota, and has room for up to 64 residents who need long-term care, so you'll find skilled nursing and rehabilitation services for seniors who may need extra help or medical support, and you have both the Tekakwitha Living Center for nursing care and Tekakwitha Housing for assisted living right there on the campus, which makes it easier for folks to get the help they need if health needs change, and the place's run by a Catholic group, following the mission of the Benedictine Sisters of Duluth, with a special focus on caring for those who might otherwise go without. Residents get support all day and night with things like bathing, dressing, and taking their medicine, and each person has their own care plan made to fit what they need, so care can change if a person's health does.
People living there can join activities and events, on-site or off, and there are devotional services for those who want them, meals served in a restaurant-style dining room, and common spaces like a library, available for reading or visiting, and a salon if residents want a little pampering, and apartments are bright with lots of natural light, carpets, closets, and safety features. There's housekeeping as part of the usual services, and rooms have cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a telephone to help people stay in touch. Transportation helps folks get out and about if needed, and the grounds are secure so people can relax or walk outside safely.
Staff at the center support mental wellness too, and the care offered includes diabetic care, incontinence care, and skilled nursing, plus help for memory issues with a memory care program, and rehabilitation therapy for folks who need to get stronger after an illness or injury, and respite care's available if someone needs a short stay for recovery. The whole community at Tekakwitha aims to keep people as independent as they can be, with both health care and support for daily living, so residents have chances to take part in social activities, enjoy nutritious meals, and keep their dignity in mind, and that's what folks can expect living there.
