Dow Rummel Village

Congratulations worth celebrating, twice over!

This morning at the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations’ Post Acute Partners in Care Conference, Gary Peterson was honored with the 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award. With decades of service in senior care and long‑term care, Gary’s unwavering dedication to the health, safety, and well being of others is deeply impactful, and this recognition is truly well earned.

We’re also proud to share that Dow Rummel Village earned second place in the conference’s celebration tree decorating contest. A festive success that reflects the creativity and spirit of our community.

Join us in celebrating Gary’s remarkable achievement and another moment of pride for DRV!

Jean has moved more times than she can count. Each one required starting over. New doctors, new friends, new routines.

She says spring has always felt like that kind of moment. A chance to do things a little differently.

At Dow Rummel Village, that spirit is part of everyday life. Jean and her husband found it when they transitioned into assisted living, and even now that he's moved to a higher level of care, she visits him every day because they're both on campus. It's the kind of place where your whole life can be under one roof, no matter what changes come next.

We think that's pretty wise. 🌷

Spring often begins with small, meaningful moments — like tending a garden and watching something new take shape. At Dow Rummel Village, Roy finds purpose and joy in his springtime gardening routine, reminding us that growth takes patience, care, and time.

His story reflects more than gardening. It’s about learning through experience, staying curious, and finding renewal in everyday rituals. Lessons that resonate well beyond the garden beds.
