After 13 deaths and multiple outbreaks of Legoinaiirs disease at the Quincy Veterans Home over a period of years, Governor Bruce Rauner is unveiling a three part plan to address the problems.
Rauner says a step might be to buy a vacant nursing home that sits close to the Quincy Veterans Home.
The reality of buying and renovating the Sycamore nursing home might not be complete before the end of the year. Rauner says a long term goal will be to build a new veterans home in Quincy that will serve the needs for multiple generations of vets and their families.
