PIERRE (AP) – Two South Dakota nursing homes may be closing soon.
The company that took over management of nursing homes in Mobridge and Madison is taking steps to close them.
A representative for Black Hills Receiver LLC told Dakota Radio Group that Mobridge Care and Rehabilitation Center and Madison Care and Rehabilitation Center could close as early as Jan. 31.
In May, Black Hills Receiver took control of 18 nursing homes and one assisted living center in South Dakota operated by Skyline Healthcare. Black Hills Receiver says it’s determined those two facilities won’t generate enough income to cover operating expenses long-term.
The receiver has notified the state Department of Health and submitted closure plans. Residents will get advance notice of their transfer date and proposed transfer location. Other facilities will remain open.
