Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital8.5%State average: 19.9%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit25.3%State average: 12.0%Worse than average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs4.8%State average: 2.0%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 1 minute per resident a day. That is less than the state average of 3 minutes. If rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury10.2%State average: 5.5%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)0.0%State average: 4.6%Better than average
- Given antipsychotic drugs20.8%State average: 24.6%About average
- Hospital stays per 1,000 resident days2.2State average: 1.5Worse than average

Who pays, and how full it is
Many residents here pay privately or through insurance. In South Dakota, Medicaid pays for 54% of resident days at a typical home.
- 41% Medicaid
- 8% Medicare
- 51% Private pay, insurance and other
Beds in use, on average77%South Dakota typical: 85%
Cost of care per resident day$264South Dakota typical: $330
Shares of resident days, from the home’s Medicare cost report for the year ending December 2024. The cost per day is what care costs the home to provide, not the price you would pay; ask the home for its private-pay rate. A busy home may have fewer open beds, so ask about availability.
