I recently visited my aunt and uncle who are residents at Jenkins Living Center in Watertown, South Dakota, and was waaayyyy impressed! I work for a company that oversees the management of over 100 nursing centers across the country, so I can be a bit prejudice as to how they should look and feel...and I found Jenkins to be really family-like, warm and inviting. The atmosphere was so close to one your loved ones might have at their own homes, that I felt instantly comfy. I walked around a bit just to see for myself if it was the same everywhere, and ended up in the dining room where my aunt and uncle were having lunch. I found nothing but smiles and clean rooms and friendly faces. From staff AND from residents alike. Kudos to your management and to your team; I hope you appreciate them!
