Overview of Rolling Hills Healthcare

Rolling Hills Healthcare is a nursing home in Belle Fourche, South Dakota, providing short-term rehabilitation, long-term residential care, skilled nursing services, and specialized medical support. Administered by Gerald Bosen, this 83-bed community has a Medicare certification to serve Butte County and the surrounding Black Hills region. Both Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, helping make care accessible to residents with a variety of healthcare coverage needs.

Services include rehabilitation therapy, long-term and short-term nursing care, licensed nursing support, pain management, dental care, dialysis services, and podiatry care. Notably, the availability of dialysis, dental, and podiatry services within the community in a rural western South Dakota setting helps reduce the need for residents to travel to larger regional healthcare centers for routine specialty treatment and ongoing clinical management.

Its location near Spearfish and Rapid City also makes the community an important regional care option for families in areas with fewer nearby skilled nursing choices. The surrounding neighborhood has a Walk Score of 47, offering limited walkability with some nearby destinations accessible on foot, while most errands still require transportation.

Rolling Hills Healthcare is well-suited for older adults in Belle Fourche and the broader Butte County region who require skilled nursing care, post-hospital rehabilitation, or long-term residential support. Its wide range of specialized services available on-site is beneficial for older adults managing chronic medical conditions, ongoing pain concerns, or dialysis needs.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Health Inspection Info Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Staffing Info Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Quality Measures Info Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Total nursing care / resident Info Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
2h 39m per day
Rank #62 / 65Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 62nd out of 65 homes in South Dakota. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the South Dakota average, with a ranking across 65 South Dakota facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Rankings are based only on facilities in South Dakota that report data for that category.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 26m per day
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. 37m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 16m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 31m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 2m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 13m per day
