Overview of Meadows on Sycamore

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 Memory Care in Sioux Falls, SD

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.

Does South Dakota Medicaid cover memory care?

South Dakota Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.
