Overview of Meadow Lake Assisted Living

Offering both independent living and assisted living in Watertown, South Dakota, Meadow Lake Assisted Living is a small 16-bed senior living community. The single-story residence provides one-bedroom housing. It has been operating for about a year. Chasity Chandler serves as the community’s administrator.

Transportation services for residents include rides to and from medical appointments. Housekeeping and laundry support help with daily tasks, while fitness and recreation programs give residents ways to stay active.
