Overview of Sun Dial Manor

Sun Dial Manor operates as a nonprofit skilled nursing and assisted living community in Bristol, South Dakota. The 37-bed facility serves Day County residents through short-term rehabilitation and long-term care programs and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

The facility holds a 2-star overall CMS rating. Health Inspection and Quality Measure scores are both roughly 20 to 27% below the South Dakota average, which accounts for the overall standing. Staffing is the counterweight: nurse staffing averages 4 hours and 21 minutes per resident per day, 39% above the state average, ranking Sun Dial Manor 18th of 57 facilities in South Dakota. CMS has recorded two federal penalties over the past three years totaling $30,000, about 24% below the state average for fined facilities, with no payment denials.

Sun Dial Manor offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with 24-hour nursing care and memory care services. Outpatient therapy, transportation to medical appointments, and spiritual support round out the program. The facility’s 77% occupancy rate is in line with the statewide average of 79.9%, indicating capacity is available.

Payer mix reflects the facility’s orientation: 42% of admissions are on Medicare for short-term rehabilitation, with typical stays of 1 to 2 months.

Sun Dial Manor’s combination of above-average nurse staffing and a full therapy suite makes it well-suited to post-acute residents returning home after hospitalization or surgery. Long-term Medicaid residents make up a smaller share of admissions, and families considering that path should weigh the below-average quality measure scores, particularly fall rates, against the facility’s rural location and staffing depth.

Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 34m per day ▲ 18% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.
