Springfield Illinois veterans affairs warns that monthly maintenance fees for residents of four state run nursing homes will jump up to 45 percent starting July 1 for new residents and phase in for current residents over four years. The increase, not seen since 1979, ties future costs to inflation from 2017 onward and affects Anna Quincy Manteno and LaSalle homes serving about 900 veterans plus a Chicago facility planned for 2015.
