Discover a Community
Centered Around You
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.

Hear from Those Who Call Us Home
“Incredible! That is the one word that describes The Barrington, the staff, the
residents and the personal connection formed when a loved one joins the family
there. Following a series of tragic events and with literally 24 hours notice, the
Barrington team stepped up to welcome us and provide a home for a loved one with
special needs. The residents rallied around us in numerous ways to provide support
to ensure full engagement in life at The Barrington. From the daily attention to the
numerous special events, you will be impressed. Yes, incredible is the right word for
our relationship with The Barrington for sure!”

“Our Mother lived at The Barrington. She arrived there… to red-carpet treatment
which made her feel so very special. We will never forget that day, nor will we forget
how happy she was living there. Everyone took great care in helping her acclimate to
her new surroundings. She made new friends, she ventured out to try new things,
and she felt well taken care of. For the most part, she has her independence back.
She felt very proud, and she was thriving.”
L.J., The Barrington at Hioaks Family Member
“My sister and I are eternally grateful for the many kindnesses you shared with dad

Barrington.”
