Ten beds and eighteen years in operation; that says a lot about Washington Crossing, an assisted living and independent living community in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, located at 4709 E 6th St #108. The Walk Score sits at 34, so a handful of errands are doable on foot, though most trips still call for driving.
A 10-bed community means residents and staff are likely to know each other well, something that’s harder to pull off at a 100-plus bed facility down the road. Beth Fraction serves as Community Director, giving the community a named point of leadership rather than an anonymous management layer.
Day to day, there’s a fair amount on offer: a fitness center, library, dining room, restaurant, and art studio round out the physical amenities, while the activities calendar pulls in crafting sessions, concerts, card games, and fitness classes on a regular basis. Home care is also available as an additional service, useful for residents who need a bit more support without a full move to a higher level of care.
Pets aren’t part of the picture here, so anyone hoping to bring a dog or cat along will need to look elsewhere. What Washington Crossing amounts to, in the end, is a small, long-running community built around close relationships and a steady activity calendar, one where residents can expect to be known by name rather than lost in a crowd.
