The Wellshire Huron
The Wellshire Huron provides assisted living and independent living in Huron, South Dakota. Assisted living includes help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, while independent living offers a private apartment with community services for residents who do not need daily care. Having both levels in one community may allow a resident whose needs change to move to different support without leaving the setting. It may suit someone who wants independent living or help with everyday tasks while remaining in the same community.
There are 35 beds, creating a smaller setting where residents and staff can get to know one another. Apartments come in one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. A two-bedroom apartment can work for a couple moving together or for a resident who wants a separate bedroom. Medicaid is accepted, giving eligible residents a way to use that coverage toward care costs.
Daily physical and occupational therapy, along with rehabilitation services, support recovery after surgery and care related to orthopedic injuries, neurological disorders, stroke recovery, cardiovascular conditions, and chronic illnesses that affect mobility. Residents can spend time in gardens and on walking paths, and activities include fitness, music, art, games, and group outings. Personal grooming is available on site through a barber and beauty shop. Respite care offers a short stay for someone who needs temporary support while a usual caregiver travels or recovers.
Laurie Solem serves as the administrator. Meals can be adjusted for allergies, low sodium or diabetic friendly diets, cultural or religious preferences, and texture modifications, so dietary requirements can be addressed at mealtimes.
