Our read on Mn Veterans Home-Mpls

The state-run Veterans Home in Minneapolis carries 341 beds and a nurse staffing level of 6.21 hours per resident day, roughly 61% above the national average of 3.86. That's a genuinely high figure, though weekend coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday pace. On its current record: 21 deficiencies, with 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 1 flagged as abuse-related. The last inspection was April 2025, recent enough to reflect present conditions. High staffing is a real strength here, but the harm-level and abuse-related findings are the kind that matter more than any average. The quality measure rating of 4 out of 5 tracks with better clinical outcomes, yet the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.
