Overview of Spearfish Canyon Healthcare
Spearfish Canyon Healthcare is a nursing home in Spearfish, South Dakota, providing skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and a range of specialized medical services. The 105-bed community is administered by Charlotte Pentheny. Both Medicare and Medicaid are accepted, broadening access for a range of financial situations.
According to CMS data, the community holds an overall rating of 3 stars, placing it in the average tier compared to national baselines but above the local market average of 2.4 stars. The community also features an “Average” 3-star health inspection rating, with 8 citations recorded during its most recent standard health survey on August 28, 2025. This performance is slightly above the South Dakota statewide average of 6.9 citations but remains lower than the national average of 9.4.
A complaint survey was also completed in July 2025, which identified deficiencies related to care quality and accident prevention following an elopement incident. This finding was immediately addressed through corrective staff education. Its quality of care metrics are strong, particularly for long-stay residents, with significantly fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits than state averages. However, its nursing staffing levels and turnover metrics currently hold a “Below Average” rating.
Confirmed services include rehabilitation services, long-term and short-term care, pain management, dental care, dialysis, podiatry, and licensed professional nursing staff on-site. The range of specialized services, particularly dialysis and dental care, is noteworthy for a community of this size and reflects a higher level of clinical capability than many similarly sized rural communities.
Spearfish Canyon Healthcare is ideal for older adults in the Spearfish area and broader Black Hills region seeking skilled nursing care, post-acute rehabilitation, or long-term residential support, particularly those with complex medical needs such as dialysis or chronic pain management.
Quality ratings
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.
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.
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.
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.
