A place where those who served their nation could relax and savor life to the fullest. Thirty years on, that campus in Potomac Falls is open to every older adult who wants to call it home.
“Falcons Landing started as a dream, a dream to create a place where those who served their nation could relax and savor life to the fullest.”The dream began with a group of retired officers who met regularly for breakfast at Andrews Air Force Base. They formed the Air Force Retired Officers Community in 1984 and opened the doors to the first residents in 1996. It remains a very relaxed, friendly and warm community where residents greet each other by name, not rank.
