DOUGLAS JACOBSON STATE VETERANS NURSING HOME

Douglas Jacobson State Veterans Nursing Home has a 2-out-of-5-star health inspection rating from the government, which is below average and worth taking seriously. The facility has faced 6 federal penalties over time, with fines totaling $104,572, and the most recent penalty was issued as recently as June 2025. That combination, a below-average inspection rating, multiple penalties, and a very recent fine, suggests this is a facility where families should ask detailed questions before making a decision. It does not necessarily mean care is poor day-to-day, but the pattern indicates inspectors have found recurring problems serious enough to warrant financial penalties. Visiting in person, speaking with staff, and reviewing the specific inspection findings are all steps worth taking here.
