6 Independent Living Communities in Pennington County, South Dakota

Cynthia

Holiday Hills Estates in Rapid City was beautiful, extremely clean, and everybody was very friendly. The layout was kind of awkward to me though, but the size seemed quite nice. To arrange your furniture and things like that just didn't seem real comfortable to me. There was good access in the bathrooms and closets, but the layouts were kind of different. I'd never seen anything like that before. We went to the dining area, they had a nice exercise room, a theater room, all kinds of games and puzzles, and activities. They were still doing quite a bit, even with the COVID. The only person we met was the marketing director, and she was very nice, very helpful, answered all of our questions, and had answers for the things that we were curious about.

Holiday Hills Estates was a nice place. They had one- and two-bedroom and studio apartments, and they were all nicely arranged, clean, and freshly painted. The dining room was large, open, and nice. Upstairs was the weight room or exercise room, and they have a meeting room. They have ice cream socials and they play cards. The staff all seemed friendly.

Holiday Hills Estates was very nice and clean. The people were very friendly and very helpful. Our experience was good. They were very congenial, nice, and willing to help assist in any way they could. They're a friendly and nice community.

We toured Holiday Hills Estates, and it's our second choice. It's a really nice community, spotless, and with very nice rooms. The dining area was pretty good, they have a salon, a recreation area, and a chapel.

Holiday Hills Estates is wonderful. What I find really great about this place is even though it is independent living, they provide three wonderful meals a day. They also provide housekeeping once a week and they provide sheets and towels. There's always plenty of activities that everybody can get involved in, which is wonderful. They invite the families to come as well, which is great. I've even gone and participated in one of the activities. It is just a wonderful atmosphere for the elderly. It gives them a sense of community and family. The staff there is fabulous. The dining room is like a restaurant. They come to your table and take your order, and you have three or 4 choices. They serve your food hot, good, and nutritious. They have a special private dining room to accommodate families who are visiting. They also keep the place spotless. Even the residents are very welcoming and friendly. They have a beauty shop and a barber shop. They also provide their residents with a life alert device -- like an emergency button -- that they can wear.
