Many older adults may prefer to stay home or live with family, yet may need more healthcare support and social activities outside their home. When searching for senior living communities, some individuals may question if now is the right time to transition, if the needed care is available, and whether they will enjoy living in senior living communities. Peaceful Pines Senior Living is known for flexible, personalized, and exceptional care plans. We are continuously looking to improve these care options and offer services that meet all of South Dakota’s needs.
Thus, we will be expanding our services to include Adult Day Services — a new level of care at Peaceful Pines designed to provide daytime support for caregivers and families while offering multiple engaging opportunities for aging adults. Beginning in February 2025, Adult Day Services will be offered at our Peaceful Pines communities in Brookings and Huron, SD, with the intent to begin in other communities moving forward. Let us explore how this new service may be a great option for you or your loved one!
Eligibility
During daytime hours, the Adult Day Services program will be available to all residents at Peaceful Pines, as well as non-residents seeking supervision, social interaction, enrichment, or assistance with daily activities. All participants must meet medical and/or behavioral criteria during an entry assessment performed by Peaceful Pines staff.
Services
Health & Wellness
Peaceful Pines will extend the same standard of exceptional care to all participants of Adult Day Services. Our support can include medication reminders, blood pressure and oxygen monitoring, and assistance with personal hygiene and care. Additionally, physical and/or occupational therapy sessions, as well as other third-party medical support, can be requested and coordinated by families as part of their planned day services. This can offer relief to caregivers who are often consumed with attending to these needs.
Recreational Activities
At Peaceful Pines, our Life Enrichment Coordinators plan and facilitate engaging, dynamic, fun, and creative activities for our residents to enjoy. We aim to foster active aging and work to meet every dimension of wellness, including social, intellectual, mental/emotional, physical, and spiritual, within our programming. Participants can find engagement through activities such as card and board games, yoga classes, gardening, movie showings, music sessions, crafts, walking challenges, book clubs, various workshops, and Bible studies. These activities occur year-round; our wellness programming is not subdued by the winter season.
Our senior living communities also host frequent events with invitations extended to participants’ and residents’ families as well as the surrounding community. These events include seasonal dances, holiday meals, football watch parties, and summer cookouts.
Nutrition
Our residents and Adult Day participants also have access to provided meals and snacks based on the dietary needs of each individual. Our Dining Services team works to serve a varied menu focused on plentiful, nutritious food.
Reach Out to Us
Adult Day Services are designed to be enriching and meaningful for participants, as well as relieving and supportive for caregivers. Fostering participants’ engagement in each area of wellness promotes active aging and often increases energy levels and productivity, mood and strength, leading to stronger relationships and an overall healthier and happier lifestyle.
At Peaceful Pines Senior Living communities, we are committed to making Adult Day services accessible, well-known, and helpful to you and your family. We invite you to reach out to our team at Peaceful Pines. You can ask questions about any of our levels of care or set up a tour at any one of our communities across South Dakota. Contact us today!
