Fergus Falls, MN – A national news organization recognizes Minnesota Veterans Homes – Fergus Falls as one of the best in the nation.
Last month, U.S. News & World Report magazine announced “America’s Best Nursing Homes” for 2025. Fergus Falls Veterans Home was named a “Best Nursing Home” for the third year in a row by the publication.
U.S. News evaluated almost 15,000 nursing homes across the country while completing their research. Their ratings were determined by nurse staffing, patient outcomes and whether steps known to be effective in avoiding harm and improving health were built into nursing home routines.
To be recognized as one of the 2025 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes, a home must have been “High Performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. 2,836 (19%) met those criteria out of the 14,832 nursing homes evaluated by U.S. News, of which 2,152 homes were High Performing in short-term rehabilitation, 1,327 homes were High Performing in long-term care and 643 were High Performing in both.
According to U.S. News, there are 343 nursing homes in Minnesota. Of these, 57 received an overall rating of 5 out of 5.
Eric Meittunen, Deputy Commissioner – Veterans Healthcare, said, “The Minnesota Veterans Homes take pride in maintaining excellence in all aspects of operations and Resident care. We consistently strive to not only meet but exceed quality standards.”
Jonathan Stone, Administrator, Minnesota Veterans Homes – Fergus Falls, said, “This recognition reflects our staff’s expertise and commitment to compassionate care. They make our Residents feel like extended family and work to create the best possible life experience at the Fergus Falls Veterans Home.”
Luverne and Minneapolis Veterans Homes also achieved this prestigious recognition from the publications.
