Armed Forces Retirement Home

When prospective residents enter the Washington campus for the first time, they’re stunned by its majestic views, rolling hills, tranquil lakes and historic landmarks. Nestled on 276 acres in the heart of our nation’s capital, just minutes from the White House, U.S. Capitol and other national landmarks, the Home once housed four U.S. Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln.

Considered a city within a city, the campus features everything our residents need for daily living: 800 private rooms for independent living equipped for cable television and telephones, banks, chapels, convenience store, post office, laundry, barber shop and beauty salon, dining room, and 24-hour security and staff presence.

In keeping with its mission to provide the finest care for military retirees, AFRH-W ensures that every resident, regardless of financial ability, will receive top-rated long-term care when needed. Our on-site 200-bed King Health Center for primary, intermediate and skilled health care is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Physical, occupational and recreational therapists and speech-language pathologists work with residents at the Center. In addition, AFRH-W provides scheduled daily transportation to surrounding hospitals, including Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Washington VA Medical Center.
