Randy Bury & The Good Samaritan Society

NPR

In The Moment … May 21, 2020 Show 822 Hour 1

From the early COVID-19 outbreak at a nursing home in Washington state to the current cases at Sioux Falls facilities, the challenges for residents, families, and staff at long-term care facilities during the pandemic have been well-documented. 
 
As South Dakotans seek ways to get outside, reopen businesses, and socialize safely, that emerging sense of "new normalcy" doesn't apply to people trying to keep elders safe. And it doesn't apply to residents of long-term care facilities themselves. For them, the struggle against the virus is intense, ongoing, and often disheartening. 
 
Randy Bury is president of the Good Samaritan Society. He returns to In the Moment for an update.
