Nestled in a friendly small town 30 miles from Sioux Falls, SD, the Minnesota Veterans Home - Luverne offers three distinct living spaces to meet each Resident's unique needs, including a special care unit for those with advanced dementia. We are committed to creating a community where life is truly worth living – with activities and interactions that Residents find meaningful and enjoyable. Our Residents are a vital part of the Luverne community. Dedicated volunteers provide special activities. School kids visit regularly in our popular Adopt a Grandparent Program. Our internal environment is enhanced through consistent staffing and a range of small group activities.
General Donations made to the Minnesota Veterans Home - Luverne will support items such as television services, Resident needs, Resident furniture, Resident computers, aviaries and aquariums. General Donations will positively and directly impact the appearance of the facilities, grounds or daily operations ensuring that the Residents and their families have a warm and welcoming environment with aesthetically pleasing and peaceful surroundings that honor those who proudly served our nation and their families.
