Assisted Living Communities in Sioux Falls,

"My mom is a resident of Legends on Lake Lorraine. We were lucky they had one opening, and we didn't waste any time taking it. It's an adjustment for her. She was in a larger apartment with two bedrooms, a living area, and a kitchen area, which she wasn't using. We moved her to a smaller unit with just a bedroom, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. It's a very nice unit. It's interesting. The floor she's on, the memory care unit, is unique because the hallways look like a little village as you walk down the hallway. It seems like a little home. It's very well done and has a homey feeling, and I highly recommend it to anyone else. They have a cafe and they have formal dining area on the first floor of the facility that they can use, but a lot of times they eat in their dining room on their floor, so they only have to walk a few feet to get to that, which if they're don't feel like going a long way. It's very handy, and the food is very good. The staff was very helpful and informative, and asked us many questions. They're very caring. They check a lot on the residents there to make sure they're okay and do all the other things they do. So, I felt really good about moving her there. They have a lot of live music that comes in to entertain. They have exercise programs. They have a swimming pool, a salon, and various eating areas. Lake Lorraine is across the street, so they have fishing, gardening, games like bingo, and card games. They make cards. They have artistic classes. They have a lot of different activities."

"I toured the independent living of Trail Ridge Senior Living Community. It's more upscale than the other places I have visited. I understand the difference, though, because you'd have to buy in to get a place at Trail Ridge. You have to sell your home before you can move into a place like that. I like the place and its facilities. They have a pool and other different stuff. There are a lot of stuff that you have to pay for too. Like if you need assistance getting dressed or taking a shower, you might have to pay somebody to help you out. They have a lot of programs. They do shopping trips and tours. They do bingo and a lot of different things in the program. It's a huge community. They have independent living, assisted living, and I think memory care. I didn't see the staff other than the gentleman who showed me the place. He's alright, and he knows his business."

"My dad has moved into Edgewood Vista in Sioux Falls, he's been there for about a week and a half now. He's in assisted living and he's at care level 2. It's more of a homey atmosphere and he just seems to fit in well. I think they pay attention to making sure that the little things are paid attention to. To what a particular client might like or what the patient might like. They're just very into details like that. I think they show, by doing this, that they really care. Tyler and Denise are wonderful. They stay in contact with the family and make us aware of any changes or anything that needs to be done. If there's a question, they're always available and just always so willing to help and go the extra mile. I think he's going to love it there so far. He says he thinks it's awesome. The place is very homey. They just redecorated or renovated after or through the Covid crisis. Everybody is friendly and very talkative and just very patient. They want to keep all the residents involved as much as possible to meet their needs. They have been impressive, so far. They have their chef and everything is cooked homemade. So, I think it's more tailored to each patient or resident and their special needs."

"My father had been to Good Samaritan before. I chose that too because it was close to where I live. They had a garden and sitting area that was very nice. The facility appeared clean and very nice. I found it very satisfactory. It was bright and cheery. They were just very nice, plus, they took people with Alzheimer’s. I ate lunch there and it was very good. I thought the rooms were nicely sized, and you could decorate if you wanted to. They had activities, but my father was not interested in anything. "

"My mom moved into Edgewood Assisted Living Sioux Falls. I like that she gets three meals a day, and the least thing I don't like is that her room isn't very big. She doesn't like that, but she's by herself, so that's good. They wear watches there so they know where they're at or if they've fallen, but it almost took a month for her to get that. The food, some of which is good, some of which is bad. There are not a whole lot of people, and it's two hallways. It's like in a U-shape, so that everybody knows everybody, and that's nice. When you walk in, it's clean, and it feels like home. They offer music, and they play bingo and games, and in the afternoon, they have something to do."

"My aunt was at Laurel Oaks Apartments. The apartments were kind of small, I thought. And it was a long way to walk if you want to eat and that kind of stuff. Otherwise, it was nice. It had a bank and a salon. My aunt had a birthday party and they had food there and it was good. They had activities. They had a calendar of activities."

"We toured Meadows On Sycamore. The rooms were small but adequate. The place was clean. The staff was very friendly."

"I toured Washington Crossing. When you walk in the door, it feels very comfy and very inviting. I got a warm feeling just walking in the door like someplace I could go and be comfortable with. Some of the residents had been there 10 years, some 5 years, and some even longer than that, and they all seemed quite happy there. They had nothing bad to say about the place. They just love it. The staff I met was very friendly and very nice. The dining area was beautiful and huge. They have a movie theater and a gym with exercise equipment that you can use. They have underground parking that had a heated ramp. So if it snows, the ramp will melt the snow so you can get in and out with your vehicle. All the apartments have heated flooring. Each apartment has its own heating system. They have a full kitchen. There's a stove, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and sink in the kitchen. The staff seemed to be very friendly. They said 'Hi and welcome.' The place was very clean, too."

"We toured Edgewood Prairie Crossings. It's a mile from my personal home. It's in a very nice neighborhood. It's a lovely facility. The staff was great. I got a good feeling and felt very comfortable, and it's very clean. The food looks fabulous. Carmen, the director, is fabulous. She's funny. She's warm and she's caring."

"Prairie Crossings’ is small and a bit more homey, which we like. I’d say the biggest advantage is that she doesn’t have a tremendous amount of money, and if you have enough money to pay for your first year, they will let you stay and go on from there. The rooms are not very large, but sufficient, and the bathrooms are nice and large. There is an easy way to get in through a little patio on the outside, so they can sit there. It’s very nice and clean. The staff is very helpful and kind. They have something going on, like a lady that comes in and does hair. They have a manicurist, entertainment that comes in, trips, and bingo. I am very impressed with the atmosphere: very nice and cheerful. I would recommend this facility. "

"I was put in Helping Hand Assisted Living by the Veterans Administration. I can't move from here for at least a year and a half. However, the staff is fine. They're very good. The food is good too. "

"Leisure Living Assisted Living homes seems to be a great place for those who still would like a little independence, yet still need assistance with some everyday tasks. The facility is actually quite small as it only houses approximately 10-20 beds. The smaller scale does allow for the residents to not be over looked. They are all treated like family and each resident is able to get to know one another. The assisted living center provides two fully cooked meals a day lunch and supper, and provides cold cereal and coffee for breakfast. Every Sunday a full, hot breakfast is served. The residents are allowed a small dorm sized fridge in their rooms. However, they are not allowed a coffee pot or a microwave. This is truly one of my biggest complaints because with the technology we have today, they could at least have a KRUPS coffee machine that it won't get hot if its left on. It is nice for the residents to still have that sense of home since they do not have their own kitchen in their rooms, it would be nice for them to be able to offer guests a cup of coffee and not have to go to the community room to do so.
