The Village of Harmony Hill offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care services that lead to a vibrant residential lifestyle focused on receiving world-class hospitality. The retirement home promotes a youthful and energetic atmosphere that promotes a lifestyle that strives for holistic wellness. At the senior living home, seniors can continue enjoying and fulfilling their interests and needs.
The Village aims to build a habit of working towards the wellness of its residents in a positive and friendly spirit. The upscale home’s accommodations offer opportunities and inspiration that promote a continuum of growth found in scenic outdoor spaces, an ecumenical chapel, and an exquisite dining area. These include weekly housekeeping and laundry, outings and activities, delicious and nutritious meals daily, and specialized programs performed by in-house caregivers.
Forty-eight beds, one year in operation, and a spot in the Oak View neighborhood of Sioux Falls at 3409 E 5th St: that’s Edgewood in Sioux Falls Assisted Living in its basic shape. A car is close to mandatory here; the Walk Score sits at 22 and that is solidly car-dependent, so residents’ visitors should plan on driving rather than walking to nearby services.
Forty-eight beds puts this in a middle-ground size category. Not so small that amenities feel thin, not so large that it loses a personal feel entirely.
What’s on offer leans toward flexibility rather than a single fixed care path. Respite care covers short-term needs when a family needs a temporary break or bridge. Licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff, which matters for anyone weighing how much clinical support is actually available day to day. Short-term stays and adult day services round things out, giving people options that don’t require committing to a full-time move right away.
No pets here; that’s worth knowing upfront if that’s part of the decision. Edgewood reads less like a single-purpose assisted living facility and more like a flexible entry point: respite, short stays, adult day support, and licensed nursing staff, all built for residents and families who need options rather than one fixed path forward.
Bethany Home Sioux Falls stands out as a beacon of exceptional care, firmly rooted in Christian values and boundless love. With a rich heritage of providing outstanding services, this home offers an array of amenities that elevate the senior living experience. Here, residents savor the delights of chef-prepared meals, tantalizing their taste buds and nourishing their bodies. The carefully curated social and recreational programs provide ample opportunities for residents to engage in meaningful interactions, fostering a vibrant community spirit. Safety is paramount, as evidenced by the round-the-clock emergency response system and meticulous medication administration, giving residents and their families peace of mind.
The home proudly extends its heartfelt commitment to serving seniors through their exceptional assisted living services. They diligently uphold all nursing home rules and regulations. They adhere to the highest standards of care and operate with strict compliance to ensure the safety, well-being, and comfort of every resident. By following these comprehensive guidelines, they create an environment where residents can thrive, families can trust, and quality of care remains paramount. Bethany Home Sioux Falls stands as a shining example of a compassionate and well-regulated senior living community. With also a focus on assisted living for veterans and an unwavering commitment to upholding nursing home standards, they ensure that residents receive the utmost care and support they deserve.
Sioux Falls’s Oak View neighborhood is home to Meadows on Sycamore, a 45-bed community that combines assisted living with memory care and nursing care under one address at 130 N Sycamore Ave. It’s only been open a year, which is worth knowing going in. Getting around without a car is only partly an option: the Walk Score sits at 47, “somewhat walkable,” so some errands work on foot while most still call for a drive.
Leadership is under Tracey Hughes; she runs the place as Administrator, and she’s not new to this work: over 22 years in health care overall, 18 of those specifically in long-term care. Medicaid is accepted, which matters for families weighing how to pay for a level of care that can shift over time.
Nursing services and 24-hour staffing back up the memory care and nursing care side of things, and specific programs cover health care services and therapeutic diets alongside a rotating activities schedule. There’s a library, exercise equipment, beauty and barber shops, resident game rooms, and free cable TV on the amenities side. Weekly bingo and off-campus outings round out the calendar, so residents aren’t only choosing between staying in their room or sitting in a common area.
Smoke-free buildings, no pets allowed, and three levels of care rolled into a single community: that’s a specific combination, one built less around lifestyle amenities and more around a resident’s care needs changing without requiring a move somewhere new.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in South Dakota
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in South Dakota?
Assisted living in South Dakota supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in South Dakota?
Assisted living in South Dakota is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does South Dakota Medicaid cover assisted living?
South Dakota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including South Dakota) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 88 assisted living facilities in South Dakota. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in South Dakota?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in South Dakota, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in South Dakota?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
