Senior Housing for Vets
The VA of all places ^

Posted on 06/12/2006 12:55:56 PM PDT by Stashiu

The .gov is developing senior housing for Vets 55+ and their spouses on the site of the former Ft. Howard VAMC, Maryland. There is currently a clinic in operation. Many of the historical buildings will be renovated, including the WWI era Victorian style homes.

There is no entrance 'fee'. It will be a Continuing Care Retirement Community with independent living through to skilled nursing.

A waiting list of about 400 is currently in place. They are talking about 1500+ units (houses, apts, rooms). Anticipated occupancy is in about 2 years. Rental fees are listed on the web site.

KEYWORDS:
I just asked to be put on the waiting list. You get contacted as units become available. I go to the clinic on site twice a month. It is in a very nice setting on the upper Chesapeake Bay, just below Baltimore. They are talking about a marina also.

The VA clinic will be expanded to address health needs of residents and spouses.

Sounds wonderful.

Was one of my grandiose fantasies to build such a place.

Alas, I've always given away more than I should have to even take care of myself properly. Doesn't help one's grandiose fantasies.
