Our read on Idaho State Veterans Home - Post Falls
The state-run veterans home in Post Falls has real nursing hours behind it, 4.27 per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, but that staffing drops about 13% on weekends, when families often visit. The bigger concern is who's providing that care: turnover runs at 69.8%, well above the national rate of about 45.8%, meaning nearly seven in ten staff left over the past year. Inspections tell a harder story. The home's most recent inspection was August 2025, and its record carries 19 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm level and 3 tied to abuse. Two fines total $36,855. Strong staffing numbers, unstable workforce, and serious inspection findings, weigh those together.
