“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…”
