The COVID-19 pandemic has hit long-term care facilities the hard: elderly residents are at high risk for developing severe illness or dying from the virus. Now, in the ninth month of the pandemic in the U.S., the issues facing nursing homes are only getting worse.
âIâm most concerned about the winter months. With the vaccine on its way, people are letting their guard down, which has the potential for significant spikes [in cases],â AARP South Dakota Director Erik Gaikowski said.
South Dakotaâs nursing homes are among the most affected in the country. According to the Nursing Home COVID-19 Dashboard created by AARP, South Dakota leads the nation in COVID-19 nursing home deaths.

The number of Ohioans in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities who have died from COVID-19 has been climbing in November and into December in step with the growing intensity of the pandemic.
There were 212 new deaths from the virus reported from Dec. 3 to Dec. 9, per the Ohio Department of Health. That’s up from 155 deaths the week prior and 90 weekly deaths a month prior.
“When the case count is at such a high level with the community, it’s really impossible to keep it out despite best practices,” said Patrick Schwartz, spokesman for LeadingAge Ohio, which represents nonprofit nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care providers.
