COLONEL ROBERT L. HOWARD STATE VETERANS HOME
Pell City, Alabama
The sprawling Colonel Robert L. Howard State Veterans Home provides a sense of community living for its 254 residents. Connected within a town-like setting, including Main Street and the Town Center, the Veterans home is comprised of small groups of bedrooms arranged consecutively into units called houses, which are grouped together to form neighborhoods. More like a small village, each of the five neighborhoods provides wide corridors, patios, porches, pathways, porticos and landscaped courtyards so residents can feel connected to the outside world. In addition to providing more efficient and convenient care to residents, support spaces are also included within each neighborhood to serve the emotional and physical needs of each resident.
