WASHINGTON — To support high-quality health services for North Dakota’s Veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a $14.7 million grant to build a replacement nursing home care and domiciliary facility at the state Veterans home in Lisbon.
The North Dakota Veterans Home, established in 1891, provides two levels of care to North Dakota Veterans and spouses. The new facility will have 52 beds in the skilled-care nursing home and 69 beds in the basic care, independent-living residence. The grant covers 65 percent of the projected total cost of $25.6 million.
The home is open to honorably discharged Veterans who are state residents, and to their spouses, widows and widowers. More details about the facility are available on the Internet at www.nd.gov/ndvh/ or by calling 701-683-6500.
Last year, VA spent nearly $202 million in North Dakota on behalf of the state’s 57,700 Veterans. VA operates a medical center and a benefits office in Fargo, plus outpatient clinics and Vet Centers throughout the state.
