My husband, James Proulx of 49 years, was admitted to the Dementia unit of the Veterans Home in Fergus Falls close to 2 years ago. He has received excellent care. The staff is amazing and treat all the residents with respect and dignity. The meals are outstanding, the facility is clean, comfortable and homelike.The residents are given a variety of activities, entertainment and stimulation. Myself and our four children are all over two hours away from Fergus Falls but we were always warmly welcomed to visit at our convenience. The nurses would connect with me regularly about any changes, COVID reports or health concerns. I have been so grateful to have Jim as a resident here. I feel so Blessed and comforted knowing he is getting the very best possible care available. If I were able to rate this higher than Five Stars I definitely would. Josie Proulx - Bemidji, MN
