Jacqueline Grimm joined the Minnesota Veterans Homes - Minneapolis as Assistant Administrator earlier this month. She reports to Minneapolis Veterans Home Campus Administrator Doug Britain.

Jacqueline began her professional career in senior living in 2012 as the Director of Social Services. Since 2018, she has served as a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. In 2022, Jacqueline expanded her leadership role by serving as an Executive Director for Assisted Living. Jacqueline has a wealth of knowledge in quality measures, regulatory compliance, and performance improvement plans. In addition, Jacqueline enjoys working hard and having fun with her peers and the Residents.

Jacqueline earned her bachelor’s degree from Hamline University and later attended the University of Minnesota, Crookston, to complete her Nursing Home Administration License curriculum. Jacqueline also holds a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix.

In addition to Jacqueline’s professional achievements, Jacqueline is a proud Veteran, having been deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2005 with the 34th Red Bulls for 20 months. Her husband is also a Veteran and serves as a Master Sergeant in the 34 Infantry Division Artillery, where he is a Senior Supply NCO. Jacqueline comes from a long line of military service members, with her grandmother having served in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II along with five of her great uncles serving in the United States Army and the Marine Corp.

Jacqueline’s passion for the senior living community began in her childhood when she visited the nursing home communities where her mother worked as a licensed nurse. During these visits, she would socialize and spend time with the Residents, but also observed her mother demonstrate compassion and love as a licensed nurse to the seniors she served. These early experiences and observations inspired Jacqueline’s lifelong dedication to serving seniors.

We are pleased to welcome Jacqueline to the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and the Minneapolis Veterans Home!
