While many senior living communities across the state are closing, HME Companies in Brookings, SD, continue to develop and construct locations that provide exceptional care and service with compassion. Through this foundation, HME Companies is thrilled to be able to set the stage for the next generation of senior living in South Dakota.
HME Companies has a history of developing a continuum of care for South Dakota seniors and has started expanding into rural communities across the state. One such location is Madison, SD. In 2021, HME purchased Heritage Senior Living, a 24-unit Assisted Living Community, and expanded the community’s care level to include Memory Care and Independent Living in an approximately 65,000 sq ft. development.
As of May 2023, Heritage Senior Living became Peaceful Pines Senior Living at Madison, a milestone branding initiative for both companies’ evolution.
“The resident is at the center of everything we do. Our vision is to redefine how senior living is delivered to our residents and to set the industry bar higher, from design to livability, for our residents to enjoy a continuum of care,” said Victoria Blatchford, Senior Vice President of HME Companies/Care Services. She also said technology is playing a more significant part in senior care, “We have carefully selected an innovative call system, CarePredictTM, which provides an all-in-one integrated Senior Care Platform to include best-in-class wander management with real-time location service, fall detection, health insights to be preventative for common senior health concerns, care team engagement, even family communication, and many more features. At the end of every day, it is always about the resident.”
HME Companies’ CEO, Kirk Simet, is fully vested in Peaceful Pines’ mission to provide the best care for the citizens of South Dakota, and he believes teamwork is fundamental to success.
“I would like to thank the leadership teams throughout Madison and the hard-working team of professionals at Heritage Senior Living that made this vision a reality. We could not be prouder of the citizens of Madison and the many contributing local businesses for accepting us into their community,” said Kirk Simet, CEO of HME Companies.
