Regional Health Care Center - Sturgis sits in Sturgis with care options for seniors who need skilled help after surgery or a hospital stay, and you'll find this place linked with Monument Health Sturgis Hospital and Clinic, so if someone needs medical help it's close by and those doctors actually visit the Care Center every week. This facility is a skilled nursing community and it's also a 25-bed critical access hospital with emergency services and an ICU, so folks don't have to go far for emergency care, and if there's a need for different specialties like Cardiology or Orthopedics, they have those clinics visit too, plus there's an 84-bed skilled nursing unit for those needing longer care. Residents can stay in private rooms that come with their own bathrooms, kitchen, cable, phone, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and if someone needs more help with moving, medication, bathing, dressing, or transfers, the staff provides that, with skilled nurses on duty 12 to 16 hours every day and a 24-hour emergency alert and call system set up in every room.
The community makes sure there's a busy life for folks by running a full program of outdoor events and activities, there's a garden, walking paths, a movie theater, music and arts rooms, a game room, plus fitness programs, and there's always a staff member helping set up these activities. Meals are served all day in a community dining room or with restaurant-style service, and a registered dietician makes sure three balanced meals and snacks arrive every day, including foods for people who have diabetes or allergies. Transportation and parking support comes from the 211 transportation service, and the place has a Helpline Center connected as well, which gives access to mental health, child care help, substance use care, grief support, and outreach services, making it easier when families need advice or are going through tough times. Resident and family councils meet to talk about concerns and how to improve things, and staff gives move-in help for new arrivals to settle in better.
Regional Health Care Center - Sturgis is run by a voluntary non-profit group and falls under the definition of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and it'll expand skilled nursing capacity to 52 certified beds in June 2025. They accept both Medicare and Medicaid. Swing beds at the hospital fit those needing extra recovery time, and when a person needs therapy-physical, speech, or occupational-the center has it. There's hospice care, inpatient and outpatient care, general lab work, surgery, imaging, and even nutrition teaching. The critical access hospital is a Level III Trauma Center, so it's ready if something urgent happens. The place handled over 20,000 inpatient days, 474 discharges, and hundreds of specialty visits last year, so care is ongoing and folks have a long record of support here.
