The Best Memory Care Communities in Turner County, SD

"Tieszen Memorial Home is very nice and has very friendly people. It's a wonderful place to stay at and my father-in-law has been there for 6 months. The experience was very nice, and the place itself was clean, modern and sunny. Their staff members were friendly and went above and beyond. He has sort of a studio with a bed, TV, no partition but there are a kitchenette and a bathroom. They have 3 meals a day, big-screen TV, they have a chapel with church services, games, and organized activities for the residents each day. They have puzzles, dominoes, board games, and all kinds of entertainment. They have a library and a beauty shop, my father-in-law just got a haircut there the other day. He complains about the food once in a while."

"I toured the independent living of Trail Ridge Senior Living Community. It's more upscale than the other places I have visited. I understand the difference, though, because you'd have to buy in to get a place at Trail Ridge. You have to sell your home before you can move into a place like that. I like the place and its facilities. They have a pool and other different stuff. There are a lot of stuff that you have to pay for too. Like if you need assistance getting dressed or taking a shower, you might have to pay somebody to help you out. They have a lot of programs. They do shopping trips and tours. They do bingo and a lot of different things in the program. It's a huge community. They have independent living, assisted living, and I think memory care. I didn't see the staff other than the gentleman who showed me the place. He's alright, and he knows his business."

"We had an in-person tour of The Inn on Westport. The staff members were friendly, and they knew their jobs. The place is immaculate. They have all of the amenities. They have church services. What we liked is that you didn't know that assisted and independent were different because you don't have to move from one wing to another. The facility is 26 years old, but it looked brand new. It's close to malls and not too far away from hospitals. The rooms are adequate."

"My mom is a resident of Legends on Lake Lorraine. We were lucky they had one opening, and we didn't waste any time taking it. It's an adjustment for her. She was in a larger apartment with two bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen area, which she wasn't using. We moved her to a smaller unit with just a bedroom, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. It's a very nice unit. It's interesting. The floor she's on, the memory care unit, is unique because the hallways look like a little village as you walk down the hallway. It seems like a little home. It's very well done and has a homey feeling, and I highly recommend it to anyone else. They have a cafe and they have formal dining area on the first floor of the facility that they can use, but a lot of times they eat in their dining room on their floor, so they only have to walk a few feet to get to that, which if they're don't feel like going a long way. It's very handy, and the food is very good. The staff was very helpful and informative, and asked us many questions. They're very caring. They check a lot on the residents there to make sure they're okay and do all the other things they do. So, I felt really good about moving her there. They have a lot of live music that comes in to entertain. They have exercise programs. They have a swimming pool, a salon, and various eating areas. Lake Lorraine is across the street, so they have fishing, gardening, games like bingo, and card games. They make cards. They have artistic classes. They have a lot of different activities."

"I first want to say what a joy it is having Mom staying somewhere people actually care. I'm very pleased with the staff and glad it's so close to home. I know there are a lot of options in Sioux Falls... just remember when choosing a facility find one that has people with caring hearts and Southridge has that. "

"My husband is moving into Touchmark At All Saints. They have two levels of memory care, and he is going to the pre-memory care. They were just so warm, and we were impressed with them. Where he is going is not a locked facility. However, if he gets worse, then he will move into the locked area. It is just really good. I saw the menu, and I talked to another resident, and he said, "The food is great.""
