Miles Home sits in Spearfish, SD, but you'll find records tied to this place in states like Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Alabama, which comes from how their team's moved around and worked over the years, and you hear about Miles Home and see names like Gerald Miles pop up in different places and with addresses and emails like pjtm4ever@msn.com and carol.miles@yahoo.com, and then when you dig around you notice staff training at places such as Univ of AL School of Medicine, UW Eau Claire, UW-Green Bay, and a couple of hospitals' nursing schools, so the work here isn't new for them, and the facility as a whole covers a lot of care, with Board and Care Home, independent living spots, skilled nursing, assisted living, hospice (under the name Hospice of the Northern Hills), and memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, so folks have options depending on what they need.
Garden Hills Assisted Living and elderly boarding homes make up some of the living choices, and Miles Home also runs places like Ponderosa Apartments, Kiewel's Guardian Angel Home, and Lovings Care Group Home, with smaller houses that give residents a tight-knit sense where caregivers really get to know folks, making it easier for seniors to settle in, and if someone just wants a simple, maintenance-free place, there are active 55+ apartments, and folks who want companionship or non-medical help, they have aides to stop by and lend a hand at home.
If someone's looking for specialty care, staff offer Foot & Nail Care Nursing-Gerald Miles has the training for that-and there's Mission Coordination for people who like to get involved in service projects too, and over time, they've worked inside and outside the state, doing both medical and humanitarian things, meaning they're a bit different compared to standard homes. Nearby, you get places for meals like Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Jade Palace right down the road, and you're close to pharmacies such as Medicap Pharmacy and Walgreens, plus clinics like Spearfish Hospital and Family Medical Center, and churches-All Angels Episcopal Church and United Methodist Church-so family can visit, and residents can get out and still access a few important places like parks (Salem Park, Lions Memorial Park, Spearfish City Park), cafes, dining, shops, and transport like Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Canyon Cab Co.
Floral services at Miles Home do stand out a bit, since they help put together flowers for home events and different holidays, like Grandparents Day, National Boss Day, weddings, funerals, and even patriotic days, plus casket flowers, wreaths, or sympathy arrangements, which isn't something you see in every care facility, and the Self Help Center is around all day and night for support if any resident ever feels they need it. The facility says it's not a consumer reporting agency by FCRA standards but does offer search tools like reverse phone lookup, address and email searches, and public record scans, which appears to come from their broader organization, not really the living side but worth mentioning since it keeps popping up.
Overall, Miles Home's made up of different residential care options, from larger assisted living and skilled nursing to smaller group homes where things feel homier, and the memory care sections focus on keeping people with memory loss both safe and oriented, using an environment built to cut down on confusion and wandering, plus there's hospice for those who need comfort at the end of life, always in a quiet, tranquil setting amongst parks, churches, doctors, and places to eat, so it really covers a range of what older adults might look for when thinking about how and where to live next.
