Peaceful Pines Senior Living at Fort Pierre

Our first-ever Leadership Retreat in Oacoma, South Dakota, brought together our incredible Executive Directors and Directors of Nursing for a week filled with learning, laughter, and connection.

Hosted by the iconic Al's Oasis, our theme, “Howdy, Partners!” perfectly captured the spirit of teamwork and South Dakota pride. From unveiling our new Mission, Vision, and Values to training on crucial conversations and welcoming new onboarding tools, this retreat was all about growth, gratitude, and celebrating the people who make Peaceful Pines feel like home.

While many of us are excited for an extra hour of sleep, this seasonal change can be especially hard on those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. As darkness arrives earlier, it can intensify confusion, restlessness, and sundowning symptoms, creating additional challenges for both individuals and caregivers.

💡 In our latest blog, we share helpful tips to ease the transition and support a sense of calm and routine during this time.
