The Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe is starting work on a nursing home that is being built southeast of the Royal River Casino and Hotel.
The 40-plus unit facility is scheduled to be open next fall, said Tony Reider, the tribe’s president. The nursing home, expected to cost about $20 million, will have a strong focus on memory care, he said.
“We’ve got a number of tribe members who are required to go into a nursing home,” he said. Often, they have to go a long way from home, away from relatives and their community. “There’s a big need in Indian country, and we just think it’s a good service.”
