Peaceful Pines Senior Living is growing again, and this time, we’re bringing our mission of Living Life Together to the beautiful city of Mitchell, South Dakota.
On Wednesday, October 15, 2025, we’ll officially break ground on our newest senior living community, located at 350 North Harmon Drive, overlooking the scenic Lake Mitchell. This milestone marks more than just the start of construction; it’s the beginning of a new opportunity for Mitchell area seniors and families to find connection, comfort, and care close to home.
Building Community, Connection, and Care
Peaceful Pines Senior Living has always been rooted in a straightforward mission: to create communities where residents truly feel at home. The new Mitchell community will bring that vision to life through thoughtfully designed assisted living and memory care services, built to honor individuality and support meaningful connections.
In partnership with Justin and Janelle Thiesse of JTZ Properties, LLC, this project reflects a shared belief in investing in people and in the places that matter most. Together, we’re helping families stay connected across generations and making sure seniors can receive the care they need right here in Mitchell.
“The heart of Peaceful Pines begins with moments like this,” said Dylan Kessler, VP of HME Care. “Our communities are about more than care, they’re about legacy, purpose, and togetherness. We’re excited to bring this community to Mitchell.”
A Positive Impact for Mitchell
Beyond expanding senior care options, the new community will also bring new jobs and economic growth to the region and provide opportunities for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and hospitality staff, while supporting local contractors and suppliers during construction.
Peaceful Pines already serves residents in Brookings, Madison, Spearfish, Rapid City, Milbank, Huron, and Fort Pierre and we’re proud to continue investing in South Dakota communities. The Mitchell project is another step toward ensuring that seniors across the state can age with dignity, surrounded by familiar faces and local support.

A light lunch will be served as we come together to celebrate this exciting milestone. Whether you’re a future resident, a local business partner, or simply a neighbor who believes in community, we’d love to celebrate this next chapter with you.
Because at Peaceful Pines, the journey always begins — and continues — with Living Life Together.
