Proposed Nursing Home Closures Point To Continued Lack Of Adequate Funding In response to the recent announcement from Black Hills Receiver proposing to close nursing homes in Madison and Mobridge, the South Dakota Health Care Association (SDHCA) strongly urges legislators to commit additional resources to adequately fund long term care in South Dakota during the upcoming legislative session. The proposed closures in Madison and Mobridge are only the latest in a string of closures over the last few years, which includes homes in Tripp, Bryant, and Rosholt as well. “It is very sad to learn of these latest proposed nursing home closings. This development only further proves the point that improved Medicaid funding for long term care is desperately needed,” said Mark B. Deak, SDHCA Executive Director. “We are at a crisis point. It is critical we change course.” Inadequate reimbursement is a primary driver of the closures. If additional funding is not secured, more closures will almost certainly occur. In addition, South Dakota’s aging population is projected to require more access to long-term care services in the future. Medicaid reimbursement for nursing centers is currently at such a low level that centers lose an average of $32.24 each day for each resident paying through Medicaid. A significant majority (57%) of the total resident population in nursing centers relies on Medicaid to pay for their care. This disparity fuels staffing challenges, including difficulty hiring caregivers and high turnover among nursing center staff. “As our incoming Governor and legislature sets priorities for the coming year, caring for our elderly and disabled loved ones must be of primary importance,” continued Deak. “We respectfully ask lawmakers in the strongest possible terms to support adequate funding for nursing centers, caregivers, and the elderly and disabled South Dakotans they serve.”
