TLC Assisted Living Home

TLC Assisted Living Home, started back in 2001 in Burke, SD, offers care for seniors who want help with daily living but also want to keep some independence, and you'll find both small, home-like care houses for six to ten people and bigger "resort-style" communities, so there's a choice depending on what someone prefers, and with a license to care for up to sixteen residents, the staff know most of the people living there and can give each person care matched to how much help they need. TLC Assisted Living focuses on residents' comfort by offering private rooms, sometimes with kitchenettes, and spaces like guest rooms, private dinner areas, a book room, game areas, and even things like a jacuzzi, sauna, or fitness room if someone likes to stay active, plus a hairdresser or mobile barber to make days easier. Each day there are homemade meals-three of them-and staff help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, and other personal care, and if someone needs help with insulin, oxygen, or getting in and out of a bath, or needs memory care, there's extra support ready; anyone who needs modified diets because of diabetes or high blood pressure can get them, and there's help for both physically and cognitively impaired seniors, too. The staff keep the place safe with sprinkler systems, and TLC allows pets, so folks don't need to give up their companions, and while support is centered on what's needed, there are still exercise classes, art and music therapy, Bingo, outings to cafes and local attractions, faith visits, movie nights, and social events like scrapbooking, so days don't feel dull. TLC structures fees so a base monthly price covers things like rent, meals, utilities, housekeeping, and some maintenance, though extras like prescription management or therapies cost more, and there's a reservation deposit-called a community fee-that often can be refunded if a person can't move in for health reasons. The goal is to help people live how they like, with the option for more or less help as needed; tiered pricing means costs match the level of care, from mostly independent living to more hands-on help, and there's always someone trained in senior care on site during weekday hours from morning to evening. TLC Assisted Living Home aims to create a place where friendships can grow, where staying as active as possible is encouraged, and where customized support lets each resident feel right at home while staying safe and well cared for.
