There are three assisted living facilities in Belle Fourche with six more located within close proximity. These facilities are licensed and regulated by the South Dakota Department of Health. Seniors can expect to receive assistance with activities of daily living in these facilities.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Belle Fourche

  • The cost of living index in Belle Fourche is 86. This is considerably lower than the national average of 100. With reduced living expenses, seniors may discover they have more funds in their budgets to pay for care at an assisted living facility.

  • Unlike many states, South Dakota does not tax social security benefits. Again, this savings will leave seniors with more money in their budgets for other expenses.

  • Belle Fourche is home to outstanding medical facilities, including the Belle Fourche Healthcare Community, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.

  • The city of Belle Fourche features an array of resources for seniors, including the Belle Fourche Senior Citizens Center, which offers fitness programs, line dancing, bingo and games and other social and recreational activities.

  • The Belle Fourche area offers many cultural attractions that seniors may enjoy such as the Tri-State Museum, Belle Fourche Area Community Center and Robert Clements Gallery.

  • While the July average high of 89 degrees in Belle Fourche keeps summers hot, they may prove comfortable to many seniors due to a lack of high humidity. On the other hand, the January average low is 13 degrees. Coupled with blustery winds, these freezing temperatures may make commuting around the city difficult for some seniors.

Paying for Assisted Living in Belle Fourche

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Belle Fourche

Though not all states offer financial assistance for assisted living facility care, the state of South Dakota does. The South Dakota Medicaid Home and Community-Based Options and Person Centered Excellence (HOPE) Waiver provides financial assistance for care at an assisted living facility. Even so, there is a cap on available annual funding. Qualifying seniors may be placed on a waiting list for these funds. Seniors who are veterans may qualify for the Aid and Attendance benefit to help pay costs associated with assisted living facility care.
