LifeScape
LifeScape is an independent nonprofit organization in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, providing specialized residential, therapeutic, educational, and rehabilitation services for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as those with complex medical and rehabilitation needs. Administered by Kimberly Marso, this 96-bed community is licensed by the state of South Dakota as an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/IID). Unlike a traditional assisted living or nursing home setting, the community operates as a mission-focused disability services provider with an extensive continuum of clinical, educational, and residential support programs.
Since the community operates under ICF/IID licensure and federal Medicaid certification standards, it is regulated differently from conventional nursing homes and is not evaluated through the CMS Nursing Home Five-Star Rating System. Oversight instead follows state and federal standards specific to developmental disability care and rehabilitation services.
The scope of services available is notably broad and reflects decades of nonprofit investment in specialized disability support throughout South Dakota. Confirmed programs include a Children’s Specialty Hospital, Medically Complex Program, inpatient rehabilitation services, LifeScape Schools and Specialty School, children’s and adult residential services, Community Life and Day Services, Supported Employment, and Conflict-Free Case Management. Outpatient therapy services, autism support programs, clinical psychology, physician services, speech-language pathology, feeding and swallowing therapy, orthotics and prosthetics, wheelchair and mobility solutions, assistive technology, and a Center for the Arts are also offered. This level of integrated programming is uncommon and positions the community as one of the most comprehensive disability care providers in the region.
LifeScape’s residential and therapeutic environment is best suited for children and adults who require ongoing developmental disability support, structured residential care, rehabilitation therapies, or medically specialized services. It is also one of the most comprehensive disability care organizations in South Dakota for families, caregivers, and advocates supporting individuals with intellectual, developmental, or medically complex disabilities in the Sioux Falls area.
