Welcome to Paul Spring
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.

Our Mission:
To Deliver a Life Our Residents Have Earned & Deserve

Giving Back
We believe that community extends beyond our doors.
Through #RUIGivesBack, residents and team members partner with local organizations, such as Senior Services of Alexandria, the local Police Department, and the local Fire Department.
Together, we create meaningful connections and make a positive impact, ensuring that giving back remains at the heart of our community.

Hear From Those That Call Us Home
“From the front desk staff… to the nursing staff… to the health aides who took care
of him in his final days.. to [those who] were helpful as we cleaned up his
apartment… to HR… to finance – everyone on the team was loving, caring, and
strove to give my dad the best possible care.”
G.G., Paul Spring Family Member
“Absolutely no reservations in recommending this community; a MUST visit when
determining a new retirement and/or elderly home. The folks have been personally
wonderful to my Dad and the staff professionalism is outstanding. A caring group of
people helping others in need. I trust the staff to do the right thing for my Dad.”
F.M., Paul Spring Family Member
