The Perfect Blend of Comfort & Elegance
Retirement Unlimited, Incorporated (RUI) was founded in 1982 by Virginia entrepreneurs and lifelong friends Horace Fralin and Elbert Waldron. Inspired by a shared commitment to exceptional service and enriched lifestyles for seniors, they created a new kind of senior living experience — one defined by meaningful programming, elegant environments, and personalized support.
Now in its third generation of family leadership, RUI continues to honor that original vision. Every community is built on the same foundation of compassion, innovation, and excellence — delivering the lifestyles our residents have earned and deserve.
Discover how RUI can make a difference in your life or the life of someone you love.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Mom has adjusted remarkably well to her move to The Hidenwood! Initially, she
was very worried about leaving her home, but we recognized that she needed the
additional support and care. The Hidenwood came highly recommended, and I can
see why after Mom has been a resident for just over a month. The attention to detail
demonstrated by the team, from the director down, is commendable. We are very
pleased with our decision to move Mom into The Hidenwood.”
B.B., The Hidenwood Family Member

welcoming community with excellent amenities and a dedicated staff who ensure
everything runs smoothly. I’ve also formed lifelong friendships with neighbors,
which makes it feel even more like home. Every aspect of living here meets my
needs and brings me joy – I couldn’t ask for a better place to call home!”
