The Veterans' Home at Quincy Celebrates its 140th Anniversary

Founded as the Soldiers and Sailors Home, it is now home to 281 veterans and their spouses. As part of Illinois’ commitment to veterans, over the past year, a state-of-the-art domiciliary and a long-term care building were opened. The Home, set on 210 historic acres, is the backdrop for these stunning buildings that provide its residents with elevated care, set in a modern and welcoming environment. This momentous milestone celebrates the Home, its staff, and its continued dedication to serving those who served.
