For Admission to Bob Hope and Teresa Villages:
All applicants must be ambulatory, able to live independently and possess a valid military ID card. Surviving spouses of enlisted Air Force Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve members applying for long-term residence must be at least 55 years of age.
Enlisted Air Force retired couples become eligible when the retired member is 55 and the spouse is at least 55. Surviving spouses whose enlisted sponsors served in other branches of the service are admitted when space is available, however, they are not eligible for financial assistance. Retired enlisted couples of other branches of the service are also eligible when space is available. Younger applicants in need, whose active duty sponsor has just died, may be admitted for up to one year. Applicants are encouraged to complete the required Admission Form (including all medical information and doctor’s signature) and submit them as soon as they meet the age criteria since applicants are placed on the waiting list in order of completed application date. There are two waiting lists—one for surviving spouses and one for couples.
Surviving spouses requesting financial assistance should contact the Admissions Department at (850) 651-9422 for more information. In case of a dire need situation, some of the criteria may be waived for admission to any of our Villages. Please contact us for more information.
