How to stay

Our Fisher House of the Emerald Coast is located on Eglin AFB and is available to families of patients receiving medical care at any local medical facility, military or civilian. A family member or significant other must have served in a branch of armed service; any branch, any length of time to be eligible.

Fisher Houses are given to the military services and Department of Veterans Affairs as a gift, and the commander or director of each medical center where the houses are located are responsible for establishing the eligibility, priorities and selection criteria.

There is never a fee for guests to stay at they can stay as long as they need to, as often as needed.

How our staff feel about YOU: “My place of work is a blessing to me and our staff, and to those guests that touch our hearts while they stay here…Here’s to our Eglin AFB Fisher House and the great team that makes it a “home away from home.” We provide free lodging in a state of the art, $4.3 million dollar home during a medical event, procedure or appointment for those that are serving, those that have served and their loved ones that served alongside them. Base access and a medical referral is required. If you are on Eglin, stop by and see us, you’ll be more than impressed.”

Words from Guests:

“I am so grateful to be able to stay here. My niece was injured really bad in a car accident and family needed to be here. I jumped on a plane with no clue where I would sleep when I arrived. God opened all doors and made a way, then Fisher House did the rest. Thank you so much and may God bless you all.”

“My grandson and I enjoyed staying and playing at the Fisher House. Thank you so much for your caring and sharing. It made us feel so special. We really appreciate everything. God bless!”

“Fisher House is awesome. It was amazing to have this beautiful place to stay. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher will never know the people they touched. From the time we walked in the door until 4 days later when we left, all you could do was feel the love of residents and staff. Everyone had a reason for being here and we shared our fears and hope of recovery. Thank you for providing a loving environment during a trying time.”
