Trail Ridge Senior Living Community, also called Trail Ridge Retirement Community, sits on 18 acres overlooking Sioux Falls and has been offering services for over two decades as a faith-based, not-for-profit member of the American Baptist Homes of the Midwest. The community has independent living apartments, assisted living options at The Cottage, dedicated memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and even home care services for those who wish to stay at home but need some help with companionship, nursing care, therapy, and even hospice support. Apartments have lovely views of sunsets and city lights, and common spaces like libraries, craft and game rooms, and elegant dining rooms make the place feel welcoming and homelike. Wellness programs aim to support residents' physical, social, and spiritual well-being, with scheduled fitness classes, educational activities, and opportunities for social and community involvement, plus a fitness center with modern workout equipment for those who want to keep active.
Residents can join a full calendar of events, such as community outings, recreational and educational programs, and activities aimed at engaging the mind and body, including veteran affairs and leadership events. Trail Ridge features a 24-hour emergency communication system and finds innovative ways to meet residents' needs quickly, which helps people feel a bit more secure. Memory care stands out with a secure area, staff who provide personal care plans, and daily cognitive activities, while independent and assisted living residents get support with daily tasks in a way that helps maintain their sense of independence and choice. The facility puts a clear focus on personalized care and offers spacious, nicely appointed apartments, landscaped gardens, and bright communal spaces, which are all designed with comfort and safety in mind. There's access to spiritual care and activities that tie in with community programs, so while it's not perfect, Trail Ridge does try to support each person's dignity, independence, and quality of life. The place stays connected to the community through affiliations, local organizations, and ongoing events seen on their online calendars and social media, as well as membership benefits like discounts and committee opportunities, so people living there might find it vibrant and energetic with plenty of things going on if that's what they're looking for.
