North Dakota Veterans Home operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for residents who need clinical monitoring or help with complex medical needs. Registered nurses coordinate medication management, post-hospital rehabilitation, wound care, and chronic disease supervision, working with physicians, therapists, and on-site pharmacy services to keep care plans current. The facility can handle mobility assistance, IV therapy, and other higher-acuity tasks typical of nursing homes.
In addition to direct medical services, the Veterans Home includes routine assistance with daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and continence support, delivered by certified nursing assistants on consistent shifts. Scheduled therapy sessions, restorative programs, and regular health assessments help residents maintain or regain functional abilities. An in-house social services team helps with care planning, while transportation to outside medical appointments is coordinated as needed.
Residential accommodations vary, and not every room contains the same features. Select units offer central air conditioning, in-unit washer and dryer, cable TV hookups, and Wi-Fi access, while others provide more basic layouts. Several rooms open toward outdoor areas, giving residents direct access to maintained gardens and walking paths. Housekeeping is provided on a routine schedule, and on-site parking is available for residents who maintain private vehicles.
Dining services prepare three daily meals in accordance with clinical dietary guidelines, with menus reviewed by dietitians to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered plans. Residents can expect balanced entrées, fresh produce, and fortified options for those with higher caloric needs. Between meals, the staff offers healthy snacks to help manage blood-sugar levels and prevent unintentional weight loss.
Residents have access to structured and casual activities that include arts and crafts sessions, club meetings, TV and movie nights, bingo games, and shuffleboard. An activity center houses most group programs, while a library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading or internet use. Scheduled social outings extend engagement beyond the campus and encourage community connection.
