Angelhaus sits at 2905 Douglas Ave in the north part of Yankton, SD, where they've got two Häuser, meaning two different buildings right next to each other-Angelhaus East for Senior Living and Angelhaus West for Memory Care, so if someone needs help with daily tasks or if they're living with dementia or Alzheimer's, there's a spot there that fits what they need. The place has 44 licensed beds and you'll find studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, all with private bathrooms, and they let folks decorate rooms with their own things from home if that's what feels comfortable, plus it's pet-friendly, which makes it feel homelike for many. They take care of the chores like housekeeping and laundry, and the dining room stretches out nice and big so folks can eat fresh, home-style meals three times a day-these meals get planned by chefs and a dietician to make sure everyone's getting what's good for them, and there's snacks too, and they do all-day dining for those who like to eat a bit later or earlier.
For those who need some help, staff are around all the time-not just for the big things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or getting around, but also for making sure everyone's safe, with 24-hour supervision and a call system, and they coordinate things with doctors and other healthcare folks, which helps bring families peace of mind. Walking paths, a big outdoor courtyard, sitting areas, and a garden let people spend time outdoors, and the inside spaces include a salon, movie nights, arts room, and community-run activities that keep the days interesting, plus there's always something going on for the mind, body, and spirit, from exercise to crafts to spiritual support. They focus on keeping up social connections by having community events, educational programs, and chances for folks to gather, and you'll find amenities like Wi-Fi, cable TV, telephones, and parking set up for comfort and convenience.
Angelhaus stands out in Yankton because they handle all different needs, from independent living to full memory care and behavioral health services, all in the same community, and folks who have limited mobility or need wheelchairs will find the whole place easy to get around. Memory care happens in a secure part of the West Building, with staff who know how to handle Alzheimer's and other memory loss, and they use special programs designed to help memory and well-being, including behavioral health options for those who need mental health support. The approach is all about tailoring care plans to each person's needs-physical, emotional, spiritual, and social-and Angelhaus has earned good feedback from families and residents, along with a few awards for their friendly staff and overall care.
Scheduled transportation gets residents to appointments and outings, and each building has the feel of a safe and cheerful home, not a hospital, with plenty of chances to build friendships over meals, games, or just sitting in the garden. They don't take Medicare unless the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has certified a stay, and they are fully licensed under state or local rules for assisted living. Whether someone wants to live as independently as possible with some help now and then, or needs more hands-on memory care and support, Angelhaus provides long-term, compassionate care in a peaceful and respectful community, and folks around town might remember these buildings as the old Autumn Winds Assisted Living.
