Good Samaritan Society – St. Martin Village in Rapid City, SD provides three levels of residential care. Independent Living is available for seniors who are largely self-sufficient but want the security of an on-site support network. Assisted Living offers routine help with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication reminders for residents who need a higher degree of daily assistance. Memory Care delivers a secured environment and staff specially trained to work with people who experience Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, focusing on consistent routines and sensory cues that reduce agitation.
Medical oversight centers on diabetes management and incontinence care. Licensed nurses monitor blood glucose levels, coordinate insulin or other medications, and track diet adherence for residents with diabetes, integrating these tasks into each person’s care plan. Incontinence services include scheduled check-ins, product management, and skin integrity monitoring to reduce the risk of infection or breakdown. These clinical supports are offered 24/7 and are reviewed regularly with physicians and family members to keep care plans current.
Accommodations range from studio to two-bedroom apartments, many of which feature kitchenettes, private bathrooms with step-in showers, emergency call systems, and individual climate controls. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided, and most utilities are included in the monthly fee. Not all apartments include every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific layouts and amenities during a tour.
Meals are served three times a day in a communal dining room, with menus planned by dietitians to support general nutrition as well as the detailed requirements of residents managing diabetes or other health issues. Staff members are available to provide tray service, cueing, or full assistance for anyone who needs help eating. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals, and special diets or texture-modified dishes can be prepared upon request to align with each resident’s care plan.
