Angelhaus East sits at 2905 Douglas Avenue in Yankton, South Dakota, and you'll find it gives older adults different options whether someone needs independent living, assisted living, or specialized memory care, and what's nice is they've arranged the campus so folks with mild to severe memory loss or physical issues can get help in the West Building while the East side handles more of the senior living side, and the rooms-whether shared, private, or studio-come furnished with telephone hookups and in some cases kitchenettes, with all the basics covered so people feel comfortable and safe. The dining room serves home-style meals all day and staff prepare food to fit needs like diabetes or food allergies, which helps residents stick to what their doctors want for them, and you will see the activity rooms full of arts and crafts supplies, folks organizing their own clubs or joining in on community movie nights, or sitting out by the garden or walking the paths-Angelhaus East tries to make sure people can stay busy or rest as they'd like.
There's a barber and salon room, a lounge for spending time with others, plus laundry and housekeeping come as part of the deal, so folks don't need to fuss over chores unless they want to, and there's transportation help and parking for those still driving. For those who need a little extra, staff offer full assisted living care like help with bathing, dressing, transfers, daily medicines, and they're available round the clock if a situation arises or when someone needs attention fast, and the emergency alert system means someone's always close by if help's needed. For residents living with memory impairments like dementia or Alzheimer's, Angelhaus East builds customized care plans working with family and doctors, offering safety for folks who tend to wander and extra support with behavioral changes, and they've even got activity programs and spaces designed just for memory care needs, recognizing that every resident's got their own skills and routines to protect.
Angelhaus East holds a state license for its 28 beds, and offers a mix of long-term stays, skilled nursing, respite, behavioral health services at other sites, and general support with things like getting in or out of bed, walking about, and keeping up a normal routine. Staff don't just provide care but try to support dignity and individuality, aiming to create a community where folks can stay as active or as relaxed as they want, surrounded by people who understand aging is different for everyone, and they focus on keeping the atmosphere homelike and calm, with meals that taste like home and a pace that lets everyone adjust. There are two houses at this address-East and West-making it easier for seniors and families to find what matches their needs, and people often say it feels more like a small neighborhood than a large institution, with attention paid to comfort, friendships, and peace of mind from knowing staff stand by whatever arises.
