Last week, a visit was made to the newly established Veterans Affairs housing and administration offices at the Quincy Veterans Home. The facility has been designed with a focus on meeting the needs of its residents.

The building includes four distinct "neighborhoods," each accommodating 15 veterans. These neighborhoods feature dining areas where veterans can choose to dine in or have meals delivered directly to their rooms. Each neighborhood also provides a larger community visitor room equipped with a TV and comfortable seating, as well as a smaller family room for more private gatherings.

Following the tour of the facilities, there was an opportunity to meet with some resident veterans and their spouses.
