Gulfport Campus
This new Home is a wonder in modern engineering and senior health and housing. It is the result of great talent, firm resolve, and keen patriotism. A comfortable retirement here is the ultimate payback for the sacrifices our residents made in serving America. After all, we are bound by law to uphold that original Promise to care for eligible service members and to preserve the Home’s heritage.
The new Home is located on 47 acres of prime waterfront land on the Mississippi Sound. It features a new multi-tower complex with full amenities such as dining, social, recreational, and therapeutic activities, a swimming pool, hobby shops, a wellness center with basic dental and eye care, a bank, a barber and beauty shop, bowling areas, movie theater, a computer room and library, plus a private walkway to the beach.
Washington Campus
Modernizing the Washington Campus
Established in 1851, AFRHWashington has seen many changes in two centuries.
Built on farm land atop a hill overlooking the US Capitol, the Washington campus has been home to thousands of former enlisted military. The buildings include historic quarters and facilities and the large more modern residences built within the last 60 years - LaGarde and Sheridan buildings.
To keep pace with changing needs in senior care, like complying with the American Disability Act requirements, much needed improvements will make our entire facility more vibrant and functional.
The Sheridan building dormitory area accommodates resident and guest rooms as well as chaplain offices, dining services, the library, the wellness center which encompasses both medical, dental, and eye clinics and resident services.
The modernization at the DC campus is on-going through a design-build of the Scott Dormitory (called the “Scott Project”) approved and funded by $5.6 million and $70 million in FY 2009 and FY 2010 respectively from the AFRH Trust Fund. This funding was approved in the FY 2010 budget.
