Putting Area at Veterans Retirement Home
Armed Forces Veterans Retirement Home
Gulfport, MS – November 15, 2013
The Armed Forces Families Foundation donated $25,000 to the Armed Forces Veterans Retirement Home in Gulfport, Mississippi to upgrade the facility’s recreational area. Retired Military service men and women at the Armed Forces Veterans Retirement Home were provided the opportunity to relax and enjoy a new putting green and a shaded area for swings. The Gulfport facility is located on 40 acres of prime waterfront land on the Mississippi Sound, and has been home to former enlisted and warrant officer service members since 1976.
The Gulfport retirement home has 513 residents and has the potential to house 600 residents, all of whom have served in the military. The retirement home has independent living apartments, as well as assisted-living, long-term care and a memory support facility. This project adds a popular recreational activity to the property, as well as added comfort for the residents leisure activities. This project was completed in November 2013.
