Veterans push for renovation and expansion at Iowa Soldiers' Home
Ex soldiers from Iowa unite to press the legislature for funding to build a 250 bed domiciliary dormitory and a 500 bed nursing home at the Marshalltown facility. The June push follows prior failed bills and a rising population of World War I veterans seeking admission. The home, opened in 1887, faces aging buildings, unsafe floors, and space shortages, with 289 World War I veterans among 360 male members and 111 women members. Funding comes from state and federal sources plus resident contributions.
