Overview of The Wellshire Huron

The Wellshire Huron offers assisted living and independent living in Huron, South Dakota. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, so the two care levels may suit someone whose needs could grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

With 35 beds, the community has a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. On Campus Rehabilitation provides rehabilitation services within the community, allowing a resident to receive those services without arranging transportation elsewhere.

A Walk Score of 68 means the area is somewhat walkable, with some errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to handle certain outings independently. Laurie Solem serves as the administrator.
