Avantara Watertown provides nursing home care, hospice care, memory care, and skilled nursing in Watertown, SD. Skilled nursing gives residents access to licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort for a resident with a serious illness, and respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Rehabilitation services include short term rehab and programs for stroke and other neurological conditions, cardiac care, oncology recovery care, orthopedic rehabilitation, and pulmonary care. These programs support recovery or ongoing clinical needs related to those conditions without limiting the community to one type of rehabilitation. With 51 beds, the home has a defined number of resident places rather than a large institutional capacity. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover eligible care. A Walk Score of 69 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby destinations independently. Lynna Speier serves as the administrator, and the community may be a good fit for someone who needs skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or memory care and may also benefit from respite or hospice services.
