Background - The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) has been providing retired soldiers, airmen and sailors a place to call home for more than a century and a half. 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, DC (AFRH-W) and the Armed Forces Retirement Home Gulfport, MS (AFRH-G). AFRH is the only Federal agency that does not receive appropriated (tax payer) funds for its operation. 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. Each site offers Independent Living, Independent Living Plus, Assisted Living, Long Term Care, and Memory Support options for its residents. Each site is maintained as a separate establishment of the AFRH for administrative purposes. Both campuses make up the Armed Forces Retirement Home which has the high honor of providing exceptional care to our Nation's defenders. The population at each facility is approximately 600 residents. Purpose - The AFRH-W has a requirement for nursing services and enhancing continuity of resident care. Contractor provided services shall include, but are not limited to, an innovative service model designed to control and provide support for nursing services at AFRH-W including Nurse Practitioners, RN, LPN/LVN & CNA To ensure the health and safety of AFRH nursing residents, AFRH plans to award a primary contract and a secondary contract for these services. AFRH reserves the right to request services from the secondary contract vendor if the primary vendor is unable to meet AFRH shift requests.
