Prairie Homes Assisted Living sits right in the middle of residential Yankton, South Dakota, and folks will find it at 300 E 6th St where it's offered different living spaces like communal living, studio suites, and one-bedroom units, so residents can pick what suits them best whether they want a cozy home setting or an apartment-style environment, and you've got options for those who want a quiet place and those who want to stay social. They've got 8 licensed beds and help up to 8 people at a time, and staff can lend a hand with just about everything from medication help and bathing to dressing, washing, help with meals, and even insulin injections or transfers needing two people, and for those who need extra support, there's assistance for Parkinson's disease and full programs for diabetes and continence care, plus behavioral support for mental and behavioral health needs, so you're not left wondering who will help with the tough stuff, and if oxygen's needed, they'll take care of that too.
The kitchen makes three homemade meals every day, and snacks are around whenever someone gets hungry, and a Registered Dietician keeps an eye on things to fit special diets like for diabetes or high blood pressure, so folks won't worry about getting the food that helps them feel right, and there's help if feeding gets tough. Prairie Homes Assisted Living gives rides for shopping, going to the doctor, or spiritual visits, and they've got a mobile barber or hairdresser so grooming or getting a haircut isn't a hassle. Around the building, residents will come across comfortable dining and common rooms, a theatre for movies, game rooms, a book room, and health spaces with a health room, jacuzzi, sauna, walking or jogging paths, and garden areas, so there's always somewhere to go or something to do, and Wi-Fi and cable TV are available, too.
Care is available all day, every day, and families can ask for 24-hour alert staff, so help's never far away if it's ever needed, and with staff like a Certified Nurse Aid/Med Aid and a Medical Billing Specialist, folks know who's helping and who's keeping things running, plus there's always care planning that gets specific about what each resident wants or needs. Daily activities can be found such as board games, music therapy, pet visits, planned community exercise or movie times, or heading out for outdoor trips if residents want a change of scenery, and scheduled transit means getting out and about isn't a big headache.
Bathrooms and laundry get handled with daily housekeeping, so things stay clean and laundry's not another thing to worry about, and those who've got trouble managing on their own can sign up for home health, medication handling, or special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia, since they're known for their memory care. Residents who come in for only a short stay, either for a rest or a transition period, can get respite care. Grocery stores, coffee shops, pharmacies, and other helpful places are close by.
Prairie Homes Assisted Living once ran under that name but now goes by Angelhaus, and it's connected with Prairie Home Hospice & Community Care from Marshall, Minnesota. The place is shaped to make things calming, steady, and safe, with a "resident-first" approach to care, and they support both seniors and younger adults with mental illness or behavioral health needs, so it's suited for folks who need a bit more attention and patience. They stay up on general healthcare, behavioral support, memory care, exercise, music, spiritual activities, and social events through a medium-sized team, and those who want a quiet life or an active one can fit in. They don't take Medicare unless they're certified for it, and most residents are over 55 or 62, but younger adults can sometimes stay, too, especially if extra support is needed. There's guidance for potential residents on floor plans, costs, and services through their website, and folks can always ask questions about what might work best.
