Overview of The Wellshire Huron
The Wellshire Huron is an assisted living community in Huron, South Dakota, offering personal care and rehabilitation services. The 35-bed community is administered by Laurie Solem, who also oversees the nearby skilled nursing community, Avantara Huron. Licensed by the South Dakota Department of Health since July 2025, the community combines assisted living with access to clinical oversight and rehabilitative support for older adults who require varying levels of daily assistance.
24-hour nursing coverage with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants, housekeeping services, laundry areas on each floor, spacious resident closets, and individually controlled air conditioning are among the confirmed amenities. Rehabilitation services are also provided on-site, allowing residents to access therapy support without the inconvenience of traveling to outside providers.
The community’s location near the center of Huron carries a Walk Score of 68, making it one of the more walkable assisted living options in central South Dakota. Residents and visitors benefit from relatively convenient access to nearby services, shops, and daily necessities.
With a smaller 35-bed capacity, The Wellshire Huron is a great choice for older adults in Huron and throughout Beadle County seeking assisted living with integrated nursing oversight and rehabilitation access, particularly those who value a more personal residential atmosphere than many larger communities. Its shared leadership connection with Avantara Huron also provides continuity and coordination advantages for residents whose care needs change over time.
