My was in this facility, the worst care ever. She came from Monument hospital.i had to empty the trash a least 4 times and set in the hall. Her rehab for the 2 weeks she was there consisted of one hour of treatment. I stayed with my wife from 7am to 8pm. Her bed was made a total of 3 times. The bedding was never changed for the 2 weeks we were there. Bathroom cleaned 3 times in 2 weeks. Shared bathroom, patient next to my wife was left on the toilet for 35 minutes. Gloves that were used for the other patient one was thrown on the floor in stayed there for 2 days until I put in the trash,partial toilet paper roll was left on the left side of toilet for four days. One physical session consisted on walking up four set of stairs. Put in wheelchair for ten minutes a nd walked of the 4 stairs. Then back to her rm. The wheelchair that was provided was so dirty, I asked an aide for wipes to clean it. Most horrifying experience ever. Did call Sd health and reported it. My wife didn't like me to complain but what about patients that don't have anyone

Mom has been here 3 times to help with rehabilitation, before her final move into nursing home care, the staff has been incredible, and now as she's in her final phase they have been so kind to help us get through this step.

Such a great facility! My family was recently looking for a facility for our loved one, Spearfish Canyon was highly recommended by others in the community, this was our first choice because of all the great experiences we heard about.

A Horrifying Experience – Do Not Send Your Loved Ones Here This is the first review I have ever written, but I feel obligated to share my experience. I was searching for a facility to place my mother, who has dementia, as we could no longer care for her at home. It broke my heart, but we had no choice. The first place I visited was Spearfish Canyon, and it was nothing short of a nightmare. Upon arrival, I was initially assisted by an older woman large black woman wearing a black bandana on her head. She was friendly at first and directed me to what I assume was the Director of Nursing, Hailey. From the moment I met her, I was put off—she barely acknowledged me, too busy typing on her computer to even make eye contact. While I was standing there, I heard a resident down the hall screaming for dear life, and that was my first red flag. As I made my way out, two other people entered the room, and while walking down the hall, I was horrified to witness the same black woman who greeted me fighting and hitting the resident. I was in complete shock! That was the final straw—I left immediately, knowing that this was absolutely not the place for my mother. This facility is one of the worst I have ever visited. The staff showed no compassion, and the environment was extremely disturbing. No one should ever entrust their loved ones to a place like this. EVER! Spearfish Canyon should either be completely restructured with responsible, caring, compassionate employees or shut down entirely. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Shame on them for the lack of care I witnessed firsthand. Please, for the sake of your loved ones, look elsewhere.

I brought my brother to this facility for long term care. He was treated like family. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout his stay through the end of his life. He was able to pass on with dignity with caring staff around him and great support to me. Highly recommended.
