For more than a century and a half the U.S. Naval Home
in Gulfport, Miss., and the U.S.
Soldiers' and Airmen's Home, in Washington, D.C., have
provided the finest retirement
and medical care for our nation's
veterans. Both facilities, now under the unified
management of the Armed Forces
Retirement Home, are considered model retirement
centers, complete with on-site assisted
living and long-term health care
facilities to meet the future needs of each resident.
Residency is open to veterans from all of
the Armed Services whose active-duty
military service was at least 50 percent enlisted or
warrant officer, received an honorable
discharge and who are one of
the following:
- Retirees with 20 or more years of
active-duty service, and who are at least 60
years old
- Veterans who are unable to earn a
livelihood due to a service-connected disability
- Veterans who served in a war theater or
received hostile fire pay, and are unable to
earn a livelihood due to injuries, diseases or
disability.
- Female veterans who served prior to 1948
Despite their names, veterans from any service are
welcomed at either Home.
Both Homes offer each resident a private room,
three meals a day, some on-site medical
care, plenty of recreational activities, and access to
medical treatment at nearby VA or
military treatment facilities.
In addition to fine living accommodations and
recreational activities, residents enjoy
spending their time among people with whom they share
a special bond ? the bond of
military service, and service to this
nation.
