Holiday Hills Estates, part of Sky Active Living, stands as a senior living community nestled among the greenery and peaceful gardens in Rapid City, South Dakota, right on Holiday Lane and just across from Arrowhead Country Club, with scenic views of the Black Hills and plenty of shade on the front porches where residents sometimes rest and look out at the trees. The community is designed for people 55 and older and offers a range of floor plans from studio to one-bedroom and even two-bedroom apartments, each with features like large windows, soft lighting, and cozy furniture, with some apartments having patios or balconies and kitchenettes or full kitchens, and rooms running from 375 to over 1,043 square feet. Residents have choices for their meals, with three chef-prepared meals offered every day in a restaurant-style dining room decorated with elegant chandeliers, and guests can join for meals or even stay overnight under the community's visitor policy.
People living at Holiday Hills Estates can join lots of classes, clubs, and events, such as art, reading groups, brain games, yoga, nature walks, or walking groups, all scheduled on a busy activities calendar to help everyone stay active and meet people, and the Sky Active Living approach means there's a focus on the mind, body, spirit, and social well-being, with spaces like a library, chapel, beauty salon, bistro, game room, and computer area, plus plenty of outdoor walking paths, raised gardens, and a park-like setting. For those who enjoy movement, there's a fitness center with exercise equipment, an activity and billiards room, and outdoor walking areas, while others might find a spot in the bright atrium to chat or just relax.
As a continuing care retirement community, Holiday Hills Estates gives support for independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult day care, nursing, and home health care, with trained staff around for residents that need help and safety features like safety rails, smoke alarms, sprinkler systems, wheelchair accessibility, and personal emergency response devices for an added measure of peace of mind. Housekeeping, linen services, and maintenance come included each week, leaving residents free to enjoy their hobbies and events rather than chores, and most utilities are covered in the rates, which start at $1,900 per month. The community welcomes pets under certain guidelines, offers guest parking, and provides scheduled transportation for shopping, appointments, and outings, as well as VA benefits assistance for those who qualify.
Common areas include relaxing lounges with large TVs, a private dining room for family gatherings, business center, fitness center, chapel, laundry facilities, locked mailboxes, WiFi in the main rooms, and even a concierge service to help with personal needs, all surrounded by greenery and raised gardens that invite residents outside. The staff and residents work to make the community friendly and welcoming, making sure to support everyone's comfort and happiness, and there's a focus on helping people keep up their interests, social connections, and healthy habits, whether taking part in a meditation group, attending an educational class, or just enjoying a meal with neighbors. The location puts it conveniently within minutes of the hospital and near local attractions like Mount Rushmore and The Black Hills, and with its mix of comfort, safety, planned activities, and caring support, Holiday Hills Estates offers an option for older adults seeking a friendly, active, and comfortable place to live.
