"My husband is moving into Touchmark At All Saints. They have two levels of memory care, and he is going to the pre-memory care. They were just so warm, and we were impressed with them. Where he is going is not a locked facility. However, if he gets worse, then he will move into the locked area. It is just really good. I saw the menu, and I talked to another resident, and he said, "The food is great.""

"We had an in-person tour of The Inn on Westport. The staff members were friendly, and they knew their jobs. The place is immaculate. They have all of the amenities. They have church services. What we liked is that you didn't know that assisted and independent were different because you don't have to move from one wing to another. The facility is 26 years old, but it looked brand new. It's close to malls and not too far away from hospitals. The rooms are adequate."

"My mom is in the memory care of Dow Rummel Village. She started in an apartment in the assisted living area, which was a nice size with a bedroom and a bathroom, a little living area, and a kitchen area. And then after about a year, she was moved into the memory care unit, which is a little smaller. And the reason they do that is that they kind of forget where they're going and how to get around in a bigger room. So, she has a smaller room, but it's perfect for her. She's got a bathroom, an area for her couch and a TV, and then her bed. And the care is excellent. They've all been very, very good with her and she likes it there a lot. They have a big swimming pool. They do activities with them every day with like, exercise-type things. They have a nice exercise room. They have a community there where they have restaurants. You can go and sit at restaurants and eat with your loved ones if you want to. They have outdoor seating areas. People do their hair for them. The swimming pool and the workout area stuff are in the whole middle of the area. It's not in the market. So when we go to the memory care unit, that's all in the lockdown area. But they do exercises with them there. They have exercise activity time and they have a church there. They take them to church, they have a music area, they have concerts and stuff. They say my mom is very competitive."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"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.

"When I went to this assisted living facility, I was very pleased with it. It appeared to be upkept very well. It looked and smelled very clean. I did not receive any complaints from my realative. She said she was very happy with the facility. There were many things to do and she had easily made friends at the facility. She included that she was very satisfied with the meals! The staff members were also very friendly. They were willing to help out when anyone needed them as well as staying on task. They also were very friendly to the residents and remained patient. Without a doubt, this is a very good place for someone who needs assisted living. Overall, it was a very friendly and comfortable place for someone in that situation. I would recommend this place to anyone who is unsure about assisted living, but is interested. I rate this facility a five out of five! "

When trying to decide how to pay for assisted living, one of the first questions that comes up is "How much does it cost?" With the impact of inflation, it's more important than ever to have up-to-date information when making a financial plan for senior living. To help shed light on real senior living prices, Caring.com has compiled proprietary cost data from its network of more than 75,000 senior living providers to provide insight into the average cost of assisted living in Sioux Falls and 3 other cities in South Dakota.
There are limited resources when it comes to financial assistance for assisted living care in the state of South Dakota; however, the South Dakota Medicaid Home and Community-Based Options and Person Centered Excellence Waiver does provide assistance to eligible seniors for care within an assisted living facility. This is not an entitlement program which means that there is a cap to the number of people who may be helped. Eligible seniors may spend time on a wait list before they receive financial assistance.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in South Dakota page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
