The First of the new Michigan veterans homes has opened in Chesterfield!
This is one of 5 new homes, which will be the new model of caring for our veterans locally instead of piling them up in 2 locations, Grand Rapids and Marquette.
Here is the link to the article about it.

Malcomb Daily news has an article too, but you need a subscription to see it, so I won't post the link.
The new Grand Rapids home is due to open soon. Then the board of directors will begin searching for a good location for one of the other homes and get that one started being built.
The new model allows veterans to stay in the area of the state where they originally lived, making it easier for family to visit and allowing the state to draw on more diversified local resources.
The only problem I see with these new homes is they are being ran as a for profit business and not as a non profit business, designated for caring for our Veterans.
