Overview of Arrowhead Lodge Senior Living

Arrowhead Lodge Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Rapid City, SD. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident maintains an apartment, while independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care.

Respite care offers a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs time away or recovery. The range of care types can suit a resident whose needs may change over time.

With 48 beds, Arrowhead Lodge Senior Living is a smaller community where residents and staff may get to know one another. One bedroom and two bedroom apartments are available, and the two bedroom layout may suit a couple moving together.

The starting price is $4,205 per month, giving families a figure to use when planning a monthly budget. A salon allows residents to handle grooming on site, while wellness opportunities and a programming and activities calendar provide organized options to join.

Sheila Gehring serves as the administrator, and Sinceri Senior Living is the owner.
