Fisher House
Orlando VA Fisher House is a "home away from home" for families and caregivers of hospitalized Veterans receiving treatment. Our home was designed to provide 16 suites with all the comfort of one's own home and was donated by the Fisher Family and the Fisher House Foundation.
Orlando VA Healthcare System Fisher House welcomes guests who:
- Have a loved one (Veteran) receiving care at the Orlando VA Healthcare System
- Live 50 miles or more away from the medical facility
- Are able to stay in a non-medical, unsupervised setting.
- Follow all Fisher House Rules and respect fellow guests and Fisher House.
Families seeking Fisher House lodging should contact the Veteran’s social worker or VA provider for a referral. One guest room per Veteran and most rooms can accommodate up to 4-5 guests if needed. Reservations are not accepted. We strive to accommodate all requests for lodging. We recommend checking availability before arriving.
We are located at 13800 Veterans Way, Orlando, FL 32827
