A major part of our welfare work is to provide short and long term care for ex-Service people or their dependants in homes around the country. The aim of these homes is to make the lives of those who stay there as comfortable as possible.
Our Homes:
We have:
seven Care Homes, for long-term nursing residential care
three Welfare Break Centres, providing short-term breaks for those who may have had a period of illness, or suffered bereavement
Care Homes
Our homes provide residents with 24 hour nursing care in a comfortable environment. We also offer
facilities for special needs and maintain close links with local medical practices. Residents are
welcome to participate in the social aspect of the home, and are invited to go on visits within the
local area, or to take part in the activities organised by the home. There is a Residents'
Association in each home, ensuring that residents' needs and opinions are always taken into
consideration.
For further information and details of fees, or to request a printed brochure, please contact the
manager of the home.
