United Retirement Center, Welcome!

Description

About Us

The United Retirement Center was built in 1959 with funds received from a Hill Burton Grant and donations from thousands of individuals living in and around Brookings County. In 1989, an additional 21 beds were built, bringing the total number of licensed nursing home beds to 81. In 1991, the congregate living service known as Park Place Apartments opened to serve the independent resident. With the addition of these 22 apartments, URC expanded its services to the Brookings Community. In 1999, Park Place Assisted Living opened its doors to 36 individuals. Again the United Retirement Center set the standard of care in the Brookings Community.

URC is licensed by the South Dakota Department of Health as a skilled nursing facility and is certified for Medicaid and Medicare funding. It is a non-profit corporation operated under the direction of the 9-member Board of Directors who are elected from the corporate membership to serve 3-year teams. Each director serves on a voluntary basis and represents a wide cross-section of the Brookings community with varied backgrounds, interests, and occupations. The support and involvement of family and community is an important part of the total care of all residents.

Charges for care at URC are established by using the MDS assessment tool and the case-mix classification system. Therefore, charges vary and are dependent on the amount of care needed by each resident. For out-of-facility services, the resident or responsible person is billed directly from their physician, hospital, pharmacy, or others. The administrative staff is here to assist the residents with any questions they may have. We are very proud of our staff's unselfish dedication to those we serve.
