An old soldiers' home is a military veterans' retirement home, nursing home, or hospital, or sometimes an institution for the care of the widows and orphans of a nation's soldiers, sailors, and marines, etc.
Many of the old soldiers' homes in the United States were constructed in high Victorian style, like the New Hampshire Soldiers' Home in Tilton, New Hampshire.
Many old soldiers lived out their old age and died under the institutional care of the home, as at the Soldiers' Home in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, California.
