Markers and stickers out. Creativity flowing. A simple way to start their journey with us. Orientation isn\u2019t just about policies and procedures. It\u2019s about setting the tone for the kind of care we want to provide &#8211; compassionate, respectful, and attentive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The card became a reflection of that culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An Added Surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than quietly dropping it off, the card was delivered as a surprise singing telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No professional vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No video evidence.&nbsp; (We tried, but it didn\u2019t record. :))<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But plenty of smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a small moment. but small moments matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Culture Matters in In-Home Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Families searching for in-home care in Sioux Falls are often navigating uncertainty. They want safety, reliability, and support. But they also want something less tangible: Warmth. Presence. Compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe care at home should follow a clear, supportive path \u2014 one that begins with listening and continues with thoughtful planning and ongoing advocacy. But it only works when the people delivering that care understand the deeper purpose behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That understanding starts on day one. We\u2019re grateful for local senior communities like Centerville Care and Rehab that create opportunities for connection and celebration. And we\u2019re proud of caregivers who choose to bring heart into their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because great care isn\u2019t just about what we do. It\u2019s about how we show up.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n    \n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id6892_603af2-e8 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column6892_880230-ae\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">    \n      <section class=\"ms-text-box-block \" data-block=\"ms-text-box-block\">\n    <div class=\"wrapper-outer\">\n      <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"wrapper-inner\">\n          <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As Seen on KELOLAND Living: Amada Senior Care Provides Compassionate Caregiving Services in Sioux Falls, SD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/amada.b-cdn.net\/sioux-falls-senior-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/10\/keloland-living_amada-sioux-falls-1024x520.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amada.b-cdn.net\/sioux-falls-senior-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/10\/keloland-living_amada-sioux-falls-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/amada.b-cdn.net\/sioux-falls-senior-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/10\/keloland-living_amada-sioux-falls-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/amada.b-cdn.net\/sioux-falls-senior-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/10\/keloland-living_amada-sioux-falls-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/amada.b-cdn.net\/sioux-falls-senior-care\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/278\/2025\/10\/keloland-living_amada-sioux-falls.png 1077w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Amada Senior Care in Sioux Falls has been featured on&nbsp;the KELOLAND Living TV program, during which Amada Sioux Falls Managing Partner&nbsp;<strong>Kevin Gullickson<\/strong>&nbsp;shared how&nbsp;his home care agency helps local seniors and their families find&nbsp;the compassionate care they can trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the video above or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keloland.com\/keloland-living\/amada-senior-care-care-you-can-trust\/\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-amada-berry-color\">CLICK HER<\/mark><\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keloland.com\/keloland-living\/amada-senior-care-care-you-can-trust\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-amada-berry-color\">E<\/mark><\/strong><\/a> to watch the segment during which Kevin discusses the importance of reliable in-home care, long-term care insurance guidance, and support for veterans and their surviving spouses in the Greater Sioux Falls Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Commitment to Sioux Falls Families<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At&nbsp;Amada Senior Care Sioux Falls, we\u2019re passionate about helping older adults age safely and comfortably in the place they call home.
