Foothills Assisted Living

Foothills Assisted Living sits in a quiet, scenic spot in Sturgis, South Dakota, right among the foothills, and it's a place with 16 rooms where seniors can get help when they need it, so there's single bedrooms, studios, or you can share a living space if that feels best. Residents get personalized care plans that fit their needs, with help for daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and moving between bed and wheelchair, and there's staff on hand 24 hours a day who can check on everyone, answer emergency alerts, and help manage things like insulin and other health issues, even for folks with diabetes, dementia, Parkinson's, or incontinence, and they offer monthly checkups from physicians too, making sure things don't get missed. Folks who stay here get home-cooked meals three times daily, even if their diet needs to fit allergies or diabetes, and there's a dining room with a schedule so no one eats alone if they want company, and meals are made to be tasty but healthy, which matters. There's a lot to do inside the common areas, like arts and crafts, tech classes where people can learn about computers, a games room for cards or bingo, and an exercise area to help keep people moving, plus movie nights in a little theater room and even devotional time if someone wants a spiritual pick-me-up. The gardens and balconies let folks sit out in nature, tending a few plants if they like, while a library and reading room give quiet spaces for books, and the community lets residents bring their pets along, which is nice for animal lovers missing their old companions. Staff can help with memory care and rehabilitation on-site, and there's massage therapy for those days when muscles get too tight. Transportation and parking are there for when residents want to get out, but also activities both onsite and offsite keep people social and engaged, and house-keeping keeps rooms tidy. Emergency buttons are close at hand, and everyone's checked on, so safety's not a worry, and with only 16 residents, things feel close-knit and not overwhelming. The facility's got a community review score of 6 out of 10, which means people are generally satisfied though there's always room to improve, and everything about Foothills Assisted Living focuses on personal attention and making everyone feel comfortable and supported in a peaceful setting.
