All applicants must also meet the following requirements:
ARMED FORCES RETIREMENT HOME
Application for Admission
1. Applicants must have NEVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY and will be subject to a
background check.
2. Applicants must be discharged or released from any military service under honorable
conditions.
3. There are no specific military service requirements for a co-applicant spouse who is applying
as the dependent spouse of an eligible retired veteran who
SPENT AT LEAST 50% OF THEIR
TOTAL SERVICE TIME
as an Enlisted Member, Limited-Duty Officer, or Warrant Officer as
long as the spouse is registered as a beneficiary in DEERS and has their own Military ID.
4. At the time of admission, ALL applicants must be both PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY ABLE TO
LIVE INDEPENDENTLY as determined by AFRH medical review. Specifically, one must be able
to manage daily tasks, tend to one’s own personal needs, attend a central dining facility for
meals, arrange for and keep medical appointments, and make reasonable decisions
regarding healthcare, finances, and safety without assistance from others.
5. Direct admission to advanced levels of care is NOT available. If an increased level of care is
needed for residents who have already been admitted to the Home; AFRH provides assisted
living, long term care and memory support at both of the AFRH locations.
6. Individuals with mental health problems or substance/alcohol use disorders are NOT
ELIGIBLE except upon a judgement and satisfactory determination by AFRH that the person
meets the requirements for an INDEPENDENT LEVEL of care and that any existing health
conditions may be accommodated within the current scope of services provided by the
Armed Forces Retirement Home (location-specific). AFRH is not equipped for continual
observation, evaluation, or treatment of such disorders. If accepted, the person must agree
to and abide by ANY CONDITIONS OF RESIDENCY as may be required by AFRH medical staff
or administration.
7. Applicants must maintain ACCEPTABLE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE in order to be eligible for
residency. If eligible for Medicare, it is required that residents have Part A, Part B, and
Supplemental Coverage. Residents who are not eligible for Medicare must either have
creditable medical insurance that covers hospitalization, medical care, transportation, and
prescriptions; or they must have 100% healthcare benefits through the Department of
Veterans Affairs (those who have a VA Disability Rating which is less than 100%, must obtain
an insurance policy to satisfy this requirement).
8. Residents are not required to submit pharmaceutical insurance when initially admitting into
Independent Living; however, PRESCRIPTION INSURANCE IS MANDATORY for residents in
upper levels of care. Residents in assisted living, memory support, or long-term care will
either need to acquire or have prescription coverage in place. Residents without drug
coverage or those who use 100% VA Benefits as their sole form of supplementary
healthcare coverage must obtain an INSURANCE POLICY that covers prescription drugs
upon transfer to an advanced level of care at AFRH.
I have read and understand that approval of my application is predicated upon my ability to
meet all eligibility requirements.

MEMORANDUM OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Thank you for submitting your application to the Armed Forces Retirement Home. For
AFRH to process your application, you must acknowledge your understanding that residency is
contingent on your ability to live independently in our dormitory settings. The signed
memorandum is required for your application to be considered in order for it to be forwarded to
the admission board.
It is important that you understand that part of the application includes an evaluation of
your ability to live independently. We reserve the right to deny admission if you are deemed
unable to do so. For this reason, it is imperative that the medical examination and functional
assessment forms included in the application process are filled out and they reflect the true level
of your ability to live independently. Furthermore, we strongly encourage all applicants to visit
the AFRH prior to admission to ensure our community fits your needs.
By signing this acknowledgement, you indicate your understanding that the conditional
approval of your application is not the final determination of acceptance for residency at AFRH.
Final approval for admission is predicated on AFRH's decision to admit you when reporting to live
at AFRH. AFRH reserves the right to delay or deny admission to the Home if it is determined
that you are not able to live independently, if admission may present a risk to the community,
or for any other reason. If at any point, your admission is delayed or denied by AFRH; alternative
arrangements are the sole responsibility of the applicant.
Your signature below further acknowledges that upon approval and prior to becoming a
resident, AFRH will conduct a background check on you to ensure that you have never been
convicted of a felony.
If your application is approved, AFRH will contact you to work on either scheduling your
arrival at the Home or placing your name on a waiting list. Report dates will be assigned in
consultation with you and the Admissions Officer at the facility chosen. Any necessary alteration
to a report date, whether initiated by the applicant or AFRH, will be conveyed to the other party
as soon as possible so that appropriate actions may be taken.
