River Valley Health and Rehab, Redwood Falls is one of the area nursing homes set to receive state grants this and next year.

KLGR-area nursing homes have begun receiving a total of slightly over $3.9 million as their portion of the $300 million infusion in state funding the legislature approved last May.

State Representative Paul Torkelson of Hanska said he was pleased to help support the new revenue increase proposal. He said, “Our nursing homes have been operating in crisis mode, and a response from state government was necessary. While this money will not solve all of their problems, I’m hopeful it will be welcomed by facilities that have struggled to survive.”
