Overall sentiment across the review summaries is strongly positive, with the clearest and most consistent praise directed at the staff and the quality of care. Multiple reviewers describe staff as compassionate, attentive, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile. Family communication is repeatedly called out as good, and reviewers note staff dedication and professionalism. The memory-care program is singled out as effective in practice — some families report slowed progression of memory loss and continued recognition of family members — and the unit is described as treating residents with dignity and respect.
Facility- and environment-related comments are also largely favorable. Reviewers repeatedly describe the community as clean, well-kept, attractive, bright, and cheery. Several summaries note renovations that took place after COVID — indicating investment in updating the physical space — and amenities are described as “spectacular” with most needs available on site. The property is in a safe neighborhood and is conveniently located; locked entry is mentioned, suggesting a focus on security. Many families report smooth transitions to the community and that their loved ones like the place and the staff, with specific mention of private spaces available for family meals or visits.
Dining and daily life receive strong positive remarks. Homemade meals, a chef, and meals tailored to residents’ needs are cited multiple times, and reviewers appreciate the convenience of not having to manage laundry, cleaning, or cooking. Reviewers also note that residents are kept involved and engaged, and that caregivers are attentive to daily needs. Small-group interactions in dining areas are mentioned, and in several summaries the social atmosphere is portrayed as friendly and homey.
Notwithstanding the many positives, there are consistent caveats that prospective families should consider. Several reviewers point out that this is a relatively small facility, and that room sizes can be limited — with at least one summary explicitly calling bedrooms “very small.” There are comments about the lack of in-room showers and limited private bathroom facilities, which may be an important drawback for residents who require more private or accessible bathing options. The kitchen and dining spaces are described by some as small and potentially noisy or crowded; one reviewer explicitly said the dining configuration made the community “not suitable” for their parent. These comments suggest that while the community excels at personalized care and a homelike environment, it may not meet the space and privacy expectations of every family.
In summary, reviews portray Edgewood Sioux Falls Memory Care as a warmly staffed, well-managed memory-care community with strong clinical and relational caregiving, high marks for food and daily living services, and an attractive, updated facility in a safe location. The primary concerns to weigh are physical-space limitations (small bedrooms, lack of in-room showers) and potential crowding in dining/common areas. For families prioritizing compassionate, attentive memory-care and social engagement in a homelike setting, this facility receives strong endorsements; for those who require larger private rooms or in-room bathing facilities, it may be necessary to confirm room dimensions and bathroom options during a visit.
