Retirement

Home

Our scenic, wooded campus features ample ameni-

ties, tranquil wildlife and historic landmarks. In a

warm country setting, our Washington Home is nes-

tled in the heart of a vibrant metropolitan region, just

a stones’ throw away from our Nation’s Capitol and

the White House. Enjoy our extensive grounds, pri-

vate fishing pond, or even our own 9-hole golf course

while watching wildlife stroll across the fields over-

looking the landmarks of D.C. We have many special

performances and cultural events taking place right

here on campus. And if you wish to venture off cam-

pus, you’re just minutes from the monuments, thea-

ters, and museums. We even plan group trips to

shows at the famous Kennedy Center or art exhibits

at the Smithsonian! Life is fascinating in historic

Washington. All in all, there’s something exciting for

everyone.

Sandy beaches, beautiful sunrises, and a charming

town surround our Gulfport home. This modern and comfortable site is situated on the Mississippi Sound,

a dynamic fishing and leisure spot. Residents enjoy going out to great restaurants, exciting casinos, bou-

tique shops, area golf courses, and more. Often resi-

dents will venture out to nearby tourist destinations like Biloxi, Mobile, or New Orleans. Plus you can al-

ways take advantage of activities only steps from your doorway like surf fishing, beach walks, a dip in

the pool, or even just relaxing on your own private balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Back in 1811, our young nation made a “Promise” to care for its older and

disabled veterans. This would be repayment for their sacrifices in defending

liberty. At last, two homes were built: the U.S. Naval Asylum (1834) and

the U.S. Military Asylum (1851). The Naval Asylum provided a home for

retired sailors in Philadelphia until 1976 when the home was relocated to

Gulfport, Mississippi. General Winfield Scott, a hero of the Mexican-

American War, provided funding to Congress to open a home in Washing-

ton D.C. for old and infirm soldiers. In 1991 both retirement homes joined

forces and became the Armed Forces Retirement Home.

superior Joint Commission and CARF Ac-

credited medical care. At AFRH, you have

physicians and other medical professionals onsite offering

primary and specialized care to the residents including

as a wide range of physical and other rehabilitation thera-

py options. And to maintain your good health, we provide

three nourishing meals a day overseen by registered dieti-

tians as well as a wide range physical fitness and wellness
