Jacobetti Home for Vets gets perfect score from VA

MARQUETTE, MI--   For the first time, both state of Michigan-managed veteran homes met all 231 standards for nursing home and domiciliary care.

That’s according to surveys conducted by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

This is the third year in a row that the D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans in Marquette has achieved a perfect survey result, and the first year for the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency Director James Redford says at GRHV the 2018 survey results showed marked year-over-year improvement.

The surveys can be downloaded from the MVAA website at MichiganVeterans.com.
