Overview of Peaceful Pines Senior Living – Huron

Peaceful Pines Senior Living in Huron, SD, offers five care types. They are memory care, adult day care, respite care, independent living, and assisted living. Memory care houses a resident who is liable to wander in a secured setting with staff to watch. Assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks, and the apartment remains the resident’s.

Independent living supplies the services without the daily care behind them. The daytime option covers somebody who does not live here. Respite is for short stays booked while a family caregiver travels or mends.

Forty-six beds keeps this place small enough for staff and residents to learn each other, and a resident whose needs climb finds the next level already on the license. Stephanie Metzger holds the administrator’s post.

An On-Site Salon handles grooming, while a Movie Theater, a Pub with Billiards, Walking Paths, Shuffle Boars, and Community Gardens fill out the recreation. Pets are allowed here as well. Sixty-eight is the Walk Score here, so it’s somewhat walkable, and a few errands can be done on foot.
