About
You’re invited to join Montevideo residents, elected officials, local business and civic leaders, Veterans Service Organization representatives and project supporters as we break ground on the site of the new Minnesota Veterans Home located at 2190 William Avenue in Montevideo. The 72-Resident skilled nursing facility, which will also offer a memory care unit to accommodate Residents with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, is being built on a 14.25-acre site near County Road 15. It is scheduled to open in mid-2023.
The Home will reflect a prairie-inspired design integrating natural materials such as wood and stone. The 72 units will be split into four “neighborhoods” to promote a warm community feeling. Public spaces will include a small coffee shop/café, theater/meeting room, dining room, meditation room/chapel and club room for entertaining family and friends.
Groundbreaking festivities begin at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 23. Enjoy refreshments and music while you learn more about the construction timeline and a wide range of employment and residential living opportunities that will be available on this new campus. Additionally, guests will find information about current Veterans programs, services and healthcare options.
This celebration honors years of collaboration, fundraising and thoughtful planning for a new Veterans Home in the western part of our state. Montevideo is one of three State Veterans Home projects that recently received funding through the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Two other locations—Preston and Bemidji—are hosting groundbreakings this summer for Veterans Homes that will also open in mid-2023.
