For more than a century and a half, the Armed Forces Retirement home (AFRH) has been providing retired members of the U.S. Armed Forces a place to call home. The mission of our staff is to meet the needs of the Nation’s veterans today and in the future while providing services and care in the most efficient manner possible. The United States Congress established the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) as a separate Federal Agency in 1991 when it enacted the Defense Authorization Act Public Law 101-510. The AFRH is comprised of the Armed Forces Retirement Home Washington, D.C.

(AFRH-W) and the Armed Forces Retirement Home Gulfport, MS (AFRH-G). The Agency’s income flows from enlisted men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces and in a trust fund that has operated since the Home‘s beginning. AFRH is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) that offers Independent Living, Independent Living Plus, Long Term Care, Assisted Living, and Memory Support (dementia) options for its residents at each site. Each site is maintained as a separate establishment of the AFRH for administrative purposes.

In 2005, the Katrina Hurricane severely damaged the Gulfport, Mississippi Campus of the Armed Forces Retirement Home resulting in its closing and many of the residents were moved to the Washington Campus. In October 2010, the doors opened to a new and impressive home in Gulfport. The new Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) can accommodate up to 600 residents.

Both campuses make up the Armed Forces Retirement Home which has the high honor of providing exceptional care to our Nation’s defenders. Currently there are approximately 500 residents who live on the campus of the Washington, D.C. location, at 3700 North Capitol Street NW, Washington, D.C.
