Westhills Village

What Westhills Village does

Westhills Village is a non-profit, ecumenical continuing care retirement community (CCRC) headquartered on a single 255 Texas St. campus in Rapid City, South Dakota. Founded in 1984, it provides a full continuum of senior care services — independent living (apartments, villas, cottages, and the new Terraces twinhomes), assisted living at The Courtyard (opened 2018), skilled nursing at Westhills Health Care and Clarkson Health Care, memory care, rehabilitation therapy, in-home care via the Independence Plus program, and a charitable foundation arm. The organization serves seniors and their families in Western South Dakota and the broader Black Hills region, holding a 5-star Medicare rating and U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Home recognition.

The community is staffed by 200+ employees (including 219 women across clinical, administrative, dining, and maintenance roles) and integrates an on-site primary care clinic staffed by Rapid City Regional (Monument Health) nurse practitioners. Its technology footprint is intentionally limited: a website with virtual tours, a Life Loop TV/app for resident communications, online wellness classes, and standard social media — Westhills is a service organization, not a technology company. Business model is recurring monthly residency and care fees across IL, AL, skilled nursing, home health, and ancillary streams (dining, salon, transportation), with a quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing structure and a 100% refundable waitlist deposit. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on senior living counselors, in-person and virtual tours, community events, and strong referral/word-of-mouth; the company is governed by a community board chaired by Doug Jackson (US Bank VP) and includes the CMO of Monument Health, a state senator, and a circuit court judge.
