  • Floyd E. "Tut" Fann State Veterans Home Description

    HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The Floyd E. “Tut” Fann State Veterans Home is celebrating its 17th year today by hosting a “Family Day”with some special events and guests.

    Guest speakers for residents and families this morning were to include retired Army Brig. Gen. Bob Drolet, co-chairman of the Huntsville Madison County Veterans Memorial Board, and David Fann, son of the World War II veteran for whom the home at 2701 Meridian St. is named.

    “Tut” Fann was a Huntsville native who served as a tank crewman during World War II and was wounded during the Battle of the Bulge. Upon his return to Huntsville, Fann became very involved in veterans organizations and efforts to support those who have served. Among other activities, Fann was a member of the State Board of Veterans Affairs and State Commander of the American Legion, according to a biography available from the Alabama Department of Veterans Affairs web site.

    Before his death on April 17, 1992, Tut Fann was working diligently to establish a state veterans’ home in Huntsville so veterans in his hometown could receive medical care without moving far away from family and friends,” according to the site. “When the home was built in 1995, the State Board of Veterans Affairs approved the naming of the home the Floyd E. ‘Tut’ Fann Veterans Home.”“Before his death on April 17, 1992, Tut Fann was working diligently to establish a state veterans’ home in Huntsville so veterans in his hometown could receive medical care without moving far away from family and friends,” according to the site. “When the home was built in 1995, the State Board of Veterans Affairs approved the naming of the home the Floyd E. ‘Tut’ Fann Veterans Home.”

    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Reviews of the senior living facility present a mixed picture, with many expressing satisfaction and a few raising serious concerns. Positive comments highlight the togetherness and happiness of residents, with several reviewers praising the staff for being awesome, ready to assist, and treating residents amazingly. The facility is described as one of the best long-term care facilities by some, noting the exceptional care, kindness, professionalism, and cleanliness. The meals are appreciated, and the personal relationships built amongst residents, staff, and families are valued, creating a loving family atmosphere.

    However, there are critical reviews that raise concerns about the level of care.

These reviews suggest a discrepancy in the quality of care and operational standards within the facility.

    Overall, while many find the facility to be excellent, especially for veterans, offering compassionate and attentive care, clean environments, and good communication, there are significant concerns that potential residents and their families should consider. The facility seems to have a strong foundation of care and respect for its residents, but improvements in certain areas are necessary according to some reviews.
