What's next for the Deuel County Good Samaritan Society?

This video is from SDPB's news program, South Dakota Focus.

In Deuel County, the shutdown of Clear Lake’s nursing home has made some people angry. They blame state lawmakers and the Good Samaritan Society. In some ways, the loss is even stronger because of the community’s long history with the organization.

This story is part of South Dakota Focus: The Uncertain Future of Nursing Homes.
