THE HISTORY OF

RETIREMENT UNLIMITED, INC. (RUI) WAS FOUNDED, IN 1982 by two spirited entrepreneurs, Horace Fralin and Elbert Waldron. The close friends started out in construction, building single-family homes, when they saw a growing need for senior housing. They loved their families and saw a unique opportunity through their craft, to help provide the very best options for them as they aged. In the 1970s, Mr. Fralin and Mr. Waldron began to develop and run nursing homes. As their knowledge and love of taking care of seniors grew, developing assisted living communities also became a natural fit. RUI continues to be a family run business, deeply rooted in the values and traditions set forth by Mr. Fralin and Mr. Waldron’s dreams of providing the best for our loved ones.

In its fourth year of the program, students are attending Woodland Hills, Heatherwood, and The Wellington at Lake Manassas to complete their on-site audits. This initiative has proven to be a beneficial experience for both RUI and the Virginia Tech students involved presenting an incredible opportunity for students to get real life experience in their field of study and further the education on sustainability beyond the classroom.
