New Holyoke Veterans Home reborn six years after COVID tragedy

On a cold morning in Holyoke, new brick and glass catch the river light in a way the old soldiers home never managed. Families who once waited in parking lots now cross a lobby built for both distance and dignity. Six years after a coronavirus outbreak killed at least 76 veterans inside the former facility, the Commonwealth has opened a replacement that officials describe as a reckoning set in concrete.
