Jesika grew up and graduated in the Eagle Butte and Dupree, SD area. She attended college at Dickinson
State University ultimately pursuing nursing, but always had a heart for business. In college, she fell in
love with nursing homes and all aspects of geriatric care and has never looked back. After graduating,
Jesika and her husband, Chason, started an Elderly Independent Living Facility in Buffalo, SD, and began
servicing home health in Harding and Perkins County. In February 2019, Jesika made the leap and
purchased Heartland Home Health. Since then, Heartland Home Health has grown in the services
offered and the areas in which the agency services. Over time, Jesika noticed a gap occuring as they
would build relationships with patients and their families, know the patients’ end-of-life wishes, only to
discharge them to hospice, and not care for patients when that time came. This was the inspiration for
the expansion of Heartland Home Health into the Hospice realm. Jesika is the 2023 SDCEO West
Enterprising Young Entrepreneur of South Dakota. She resides in the Belle Fourche, SD area with her
husband Chason Floyd and their three boys; Nevada (5), Nayzen (3), and Naxtyn (1). In addition to her
and her husband operating Heartland Home Health and Hospice, Chason and Jesika also ranch in
Harding County, SD.
