The State of South Dakota faces both challenges and opportunities in designing a system of long-term care that promotes the health of its citizens, preserves independence, guards dignity and is financially responsible.
The Department has been actively working with key stakeholders across the state to address and identify the challenges our state is facing. The Long-Term Care study provides us with options and recommendations as to what we can do to improve the long-term care system in our state.
The Department also wants to invite you to learn more about the findings of the study and policy recommendations that will be utilized to shape the future of the continuum of long-term care services in South Dakota. Below you will find the times and dates of the informational meetings on South Dakota's Long-Term Care Study.
Below you will find three different documents of the Long-Term Care Study, all contain the same information, but are structured and laid out differently, depending on how much or how little you may want to read.
If you have any questions about the study or the information within the report, please call 605-773-3165.
