The brand new North Idaho State Veterans Home, a skilled nursing facility, is being dedicated at 2 p.m. on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. It is located at 590 S. Pleasant View Road, Post Falls.

The facility will have 64 beds subdivided into four household wings, each supporting 16 private resident rooms with private bathrooms. Each of these will have its own den, sitting lounge and living area. There are also two dedicated dining areas that are each shared by two households and kitchens along with multiple outdoor patio areas.

There will be direct access to the main community center, which will include a chapel, barber/beauty shop, bistro, activities center, multipurpose room, sports club, and therapy room/gym. There is a central food preparation area, laundry facility, maintenance, supply and administrative offices.

A separate rear entrance will be for the Office of Veterans Advocacy. This office will have two Idaho State Veterans Service Officers (VSO’s) and an office assistant. Their purpose is to assist veterans in obtaining the benefits that they deserve.
