Our mission
Royal Star & Garter was founded in 1916 to care for the severely injured young men returning from the battlegrounds of the First World War. Today, our mission is to provide an outstanding range of quality care and therapies to veterans and their partners living with disability or dementia.
Our care
We provide loving care for veterans and their partners who live with disability or dementia in three state-of-the-art Homes, ensuring they are respected as individuals. We meet their needs in an appropriate, personalised and compassionate way and this is supported by highly skilled and motivated staff. We constantly evolve our services and innovate our care to meet present and future need and this now includes younger veterans, a day care service and plans for an outreach project later this year.
Our future
Today, we run three Homes where we deliver an unparalleled level of specialist nursing care for veterans and their partners, including award-winning dementia care. We are developing our services to provide day care across all three Homes, an outreach service and care for younger veterans.
Our knowledge
We have over 100 years’ experience in providing pioneering nursing and therapeutic care to veterans living with disability and dementia. We are committed to sharing our knowledge and skills with other organisations to promote better care for all veterans and older people. We partner with health care, military and academic organisations for the benefit of our local communities.
Sharing our experience
We are passionate about innovation in our care to improve the lives of veterans and their partners and we are ideally placed to provide training. Our Homes offer military nursing student training and placements to Nursing Associate Trainees as part of an NHS pilot scheme.
