Sanford Health Vermillion Dakota Gardens sits in Vermillion, South Dakota, as a medium-sized senior living community tied to the Sanford Health network, and you'll find all sorts of services for older adults there, whether someone needs help each day or can do most things on their own. The community has 29 beds and offers a mix of private and semi-private rooms, including studios, with basic furnishings, telephones, air conditioning, and wheelchairs can get around easily. There's a wide list of care options available-assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, continuing care, rehabilitation, home care, and hospice. There's also respite care for short-term stays. Staff members stay on-site all day and all night, helping with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and daily chores, and they're supported by emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call setup to keep residents safe.
Meals get prepared onsite and served in a big dining room, with all-day dining, special diets like diabetes care, and allergy-sensitive choices, and they'll handle housekeeping, laundry, and the move-in process, too. The grounds have landscaped gardens, walking paths, outdoor seating, and there's comfortable lounges, a barber and salon, a craft and arts room, parking, ample restrooms, and space for movies or social events, where community-sponsored and resident-led activities help seniors stay busy and connected. Transport gets arranged for doctor visits and outings, with coordination between healthcare providers made easier by its close ties to Sanford Health. Residents' mental and emotional wellness matters, so staff support personalized plans and a mental wellness program. The place keeps a steady focus on independence and dignity for each senior, and the licensure under #67663 ensures proper oversight for assisted living. Even with lots of services and amenities, the average rating shows a 4 out of 10, so it's always good to check if things fit what someone's looking for. Staff aim to create a warm and inclusive environment, but the facility doesn't claim perfection, and folks should consider what suits their own needs best. The main office hours run Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and the staff can help arrange visits or move-ins during those hours.
