Fisher Houses are comfortable homes that serve as a temporary residence near a military or VA medical facility where Family members can eat, sleep, relax and find support from other Families in similar situations.

Who is eligible to stay at the Ft. Campbell Fisher House?

We are here to serve our active duty, veterans, retirees and their Families while actively receiving medical treament at Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH) and other local medical facilities.

How do I make a reservation?

Referrals to the Fisher House are generally done through a case manager, hospital staff, or the soldiers's unit, however, you can call the house manager directly to discuss your situation and to check on room availability. When making referrals, please be aware that we do NOT allow check-ins after regular business hours (M-F 9-4). If you know arrival will take place after hours, weekends or on a holiday, you must pre-arrange check-in with the manager. A referral is not a reservation - please call the day before your expected arrival to make sure we have a room available. We recommend you have a back up plan for your lodging needs. Each patient is limited to one room, and each room has a maximum occupancy of 3 people. When the house is at full-occupancy, we will maintain a waiting list.

If you are making a referral, please visit our Staying Here page for a link to the Referral form.

What does it cost?

Since October 2006, the Fisher House Foundation has picked up the tab ($10/night) for our guest families. And with community support, just about everything else our families may need is provided. Families have little, if any, out-of-pocket expenses while here.

Are there any rules in place for those staying at the Fisher House?

Yes. Because the house is shared by up to 8 Families, we do have policies in place to ensure everyone has a comfortable stay. Click here. Each room has a binder with complete house guidelines and other important information.

I was told I needed a "Battle Buddy". Why?

Out-patients are not permitted to stay at the Fisher House alone. This policy is in place for the safety and welfare of the patient, as well as our other guests.

Does the Army provide the funding for Army Fisher Houses?

No. All Army Fisher Houses operate as a Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) activity. We rely almost solely on donations to fund our operations. Donations, either monetary or in-kind, allow us to provide our guests with a well maintained & furnished home, food, detergent, toiletries, toys, computers, gift cards, holiday decor, etc...

If I make a donation to a specific Army Fisher House, will the money actually be spent there?

Donations made to a specific Army Fisher House are accounted for that house. The money is used to improve and maintain the facility, pay for utilities, provide amenities for the guests, celebrate holidays, and enhance the range of services provided.

What types of donations are accepted at the Ft. Campbell Fisher House?

Due to limited storage space, we prefer monetary donations and gift cards to local establishments. This enables us to purchase items as needed and to keep our inventory fresh and new. For health reasons, we can not accept most used items.

You are welcome to contact the house manager to discuss your specific donation.
