A care home has earned special recognition for its efforts to support residents who served in the Armed Forces.
Staverton House was recently recognised through the Veterans Friendly Framework, highlighting the home’s commitment to supporting residents who have served in the Armed Forces.
The only care home in the area specialising in dementia care, Staverton House ensures veterans feel "recognised, respected, and supported" throughout their time at the home.
The accreditation helps care homes better understand the experiences of veterans and ensures their service history is acknowledged as an important part of who they are.
A spokesperson from the Veterans Friendly Framework panel said: "The application that you submitted was of an exceptionally high standard and a testament to the dedication, passion, and commitment you have for providing high-quality person-centred care for your residents, and colleagues alike, along with forging some really meaningful connections to the AF Community and NHS services."
Staverton House has also signed the Armed Forces Covenant, further cementing its support for the wider military community.
The home’s Veterans Friendly Champions—Neil, Sean, and Shelly—have worked closely with staff to identify veteran residents, raise awareness, and find meaningful ways to celebrate their stories and experiences.
Their efforts are especially vital for residents living with dementia, who may still hold strong memories of their time in service.
The team at Staverton House are proud to receive the recognition and to play their part in supporting the Armed Forces community.
The home welcomes enquiries from veterans and their families who may be looking for specialist dementia care in a warm and supportive environment.
