Hospital pages on ElderCareCosts are for discharge planning and local context in Aberdeen, SD, not residential care shopping and not a cost-of-care index. Inpatient hospital bills are insurance-negotiated and episode-specific. We do not publish a local hospital cost table.

If a discharge is coming this week, start with the care setting you need next (skilled nursing, home health, assisted living) and the funding path. Answer 3 questions or browse cost of care by care type.

Every licensed hospital: 2

A note on counting: we show 2 licensed hospitals listed for Aberdeen proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.

How we rank these: we don't. Listed by verification date, newest first.

Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.
