Oakview Terrace is a nonprofit, corporate-owned senior living and nursing facility located in Freeman, South Dakota. As a small community with a capacity of 45 beds, it provides an intimate atmosphere for residents who need daily assistance with medical and non-medical needs. The facility caters to both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, participating in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, thus accommodating a variety of financial circumstances and care durations for residents.
The facility is not part of a continuing care retirement community and does not have a specialized Alzheimer’s care program. It operates independently, focusing on the well-being and daily life of its residents who may require support with activities such as dressing, eating, and personal hygiene. A significant percentage of residents, around 77.4%, retain the ability to move, eat, use the bathroom, and perform other common tasks without help, reflecting the emphasis on maintaining independence wherever possible.
A key feature of Oakview Terrace is its nurse staffing, which averages approximately 3 hours and 42 minutes per resident per day. The staffing patterns are consistent throughout the week, with above-average ratings for weekend to weekday coverage, ensuring continuous and reliable care. Preventive health measures are also a priority, as shown by the facility achieving a 100% flu vaccination rate among residents, supporting a healthy and safe environment.
The facility has undergone regular health, fire, and safety inspections to ensure standards are met in various aspects of resident care, including meal preparation and overall safety. Recent inspection reports indicated some minor issues that were promptly addressed and resolved. Oakview Terrace has also demonstrated responsiveness in addressing concerns related to residents’ rights, freedom from unnecessary restraints, and environmental safety, always aiming to provide dignified existence and adequate supervision to minimize hazards.
Oakview Terrace is tailored for individuals and families seeking a smaller, community-centered environment backed by nonprofit values. While not offering all specialty care programs, it maintains a focus on core elements of resident care—independence, daily support, and maintaining quality of life in a supportive setting. With participation in Medicare and Medicaid and a modest size that encourages a close-knit feel, Oakview Terrace stands as a choice for those seeking basic nursing and support services in a compassionate, consistently staffed home.
