Peaceful Pines Senior Living at Brookings

🇺🇸 We are honored to support veterans and their families as they navigate one of life’s most important transitions. Many families don’t realize that veterans and their spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance benefits that can help cover the cost of senior living and care. These benefits were earned through service, and families deserve guidance in accessing them with clarity and compassion.

In partnership with Patriot Angels, we also offer a waived community fee for eligible veterans and their spouses as a small way to say thank you for their service and sacrifice.

If you or someone you love has served, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. We’re here to help connect you with trusted resources every step of the way. Reach out to learn more about available veteran benefits and how we can support your family.

Supporting a veteran or spouse through long-term care doesn’t have to be stressful. Our advisors guide families through the VA Aid & Attendance process with clarity and care.

We loved welcoming students from the South Dakota State University - Respiratory Care Program , who spent time volunteering and creating crafts with residents from our Memory Care neighborhood. Moments like these bring so much joy to everyone involved. 🎨✨

We held our own Winter Olympics. The teams worked together to try to win gold. The competitions were: first to finish an Olympic crossword, first to finish a puzzle of speed skating, and first one to answer figure skating trivia.

Don and Kay Norton filled the room with music as they performed a special collection of songs titled “Love is in the Air.” ❤️🎶
We were thrilled to welcome nearly 60 guests who joined us for this wonderful afternoon together!

🔥🏅From East River to West River, we had so much fun bringing a little Olympic fun to our communities! Inspired by Team USA and the athletes competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, our residents and teams passed the torch from community to community, even Peaceful Pines Senior Living at Mitchell, which is under construction!

Over the past couple of weeks, residents shared lots of laughs and enjoyed some friendly competition as our Life Enrichment teams planned activities centered around the Olympics.

From your self-appointed grandparents at Peaceful Pines Senior Living — we are so proud of you! Congratulations to Team USA and to all the athletes bringing home one of the 33 medals. We loved celebrating along with you! 🇺🇸

Love looks different in every season of life ❤️

In senior living, Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance — it’s about friendship, belonging, and the everyday connections that support healthy aging. Across our Peaceful Pines communities in South Dakota, we see how community truly changes lives.

Curious how connection impacts independent living, assisted living, and memory care?

Yesterday, we had a great time at our Valentine's Day Family Meal! 🍰🥂🍝

Residents' families came for a lunch of spaghetti and meatballs, breadstick, salad, and cheesecake or flan for dessert. We served a special lemonade and champagne alongside the delicious meal.

We hope you spend some sweet time with your families this weekend ❤️
