Overview of Jenkin‘s Living Center

Jenkin’s Living Center offers nursing home, skilled nursing, independent living, and memory care in Watertown, SD. Nursing home and skilled nursing care include licensed nursing on site around the clock, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Independent living offers a private living arrangement with community services and no daily care, so a resident who remains independent can have support around them without scheduled personal care.

Having these care levels in one community may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community. The community has 110 beds and private rooms, giving each resident an individual room rather than a shared one. In the South Maple neighborhood, a Walk Score of 85 means most errands are possible on foot, allowing a resident who no longer drives to get out independently, and Kasey Klapprodt serves as the administrator.
