The people who oversee the house gave us a tour and explained how they help these families. I took as many pictures as I could so that I could share this experience with you. The Fisher House is a temporary home (not hotel) for military & veteran families. It's literally an old 1960's home that has been gutted out and renovated into a beautiful modern mansion. The homestead is located behind the VA Hospital in Dallas, Texas. ***You may want to know that the surrounding area is indigent. There are a lot of people on foot. Most businesses have bars on the windows. But the VA Hospital itself is enormous and the security is intense. The Dallas Fisher House stays locked at all hours of the day and night. You are greeted at the door by security and if you are a guest you will have no problem getting in and out. The entire building is under surveillance 24/7. We felt very safe. Families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the VA hospital. They said some families are there for one night and other families have been there for as long as a year. Obviously, it depends on your unique situation. This location has many private bedrooms that include a private bath. My guess is 30 rooms. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room, and an inviting living room. In addition, there is an outdoor patio and grill area. The tour guide said many companies come in and host a BBQ dinner. Across from the outside patio is a beautifully decorated media room. It includes oversized media chairs, a large screen tv, and a bathroom -- perfect for when children are in tow. The environment is clean, comfortable and quiet. The housekeepers are compassionate and helpful. The majority of there "help" is volunteers including Boy Scouts who build landscapes, make repairs or paint. Another source of support are people who donate thousands in memory of a loved one or to give back to other vets. The greatest experience was the appreciation of these families. They are exhausted emotionally and physically. They really need a few smilingly faces and something good to eat so they can keep going. Today was filled with many rewarding moments. Hope this review helps those who are trying to make a decision about traveling to the Dallas VA Hospital and what to expect if they stay at this partiduclar Fisher House location.

Half the time the online scheduling is not working or having some kind of technical difficulties…read more It was a chore just to get into the system because the system would not accept the information that I knew was accurate. Finally, after several tries, I was able to make an appointment. All I needed to do was to change the address on my driver's license. The system gave me an appointment for 6 weeks later. Time went by, several weeks. As my appointment approached, somehow, and I do not know or remember how, I found out that I did not need an in-person appointment for a change of address. This time, the system was working and it allowed me to enter my new address and I received my new license in about 2 weeks. What should have been easy and quick was neither. The system needs to be more user-friendly and efficient.

Besides being a park, it's a place where it holds special events throughout the year that may be worth checking out. The park has a free parking lot just off the to side and it is easily accessible. I appreciate that it also has a picnic area, garden areas, benches, water fountains (though I doubt anyone uses it), and restrooms. It is quite well maintained and a sweet spot in Dallas for some fun photos. A few historic buildings I visited include the Alamo Saloon, Blum Bro. General Store, and Renner School.
