SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- Nineteen nursing homes in South Dakota, including one in Sioux Falls run by Skyline Health Care, are in receivership.
That's after the state health department was notified the company could not pay its bills, and residents could be in danger.
Representative Wayne Steinhauer of Hartford chaired an interim committee two years ago that focused on long term care.
He says many nursing homes are still underfunded.
The recommendations made by the inerim committee in 2016 were rejected during the 2017 session.
Steinhauer says that nursing homes could be an issue again during the 2019 session.
