About Royal Star & Garter

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

Today, we operate four homes where we deliver an unparalleled level of specialist nursing care for veterans and their partners, including award-winning dementia care. We meet their needs in an appropriate, personalised and compassionate way and this is supported by highly skilled and motivated staff. All of our homes offer wellbeing, therapy and day care services.

We run the Veteran Friendly Framework, jointly funded with the Royal British Legion and the Armed Forces Covenant, which helps care providers to offer appropriate support for veterans living in their homes which to date has signed up over 200 locations. Further outreach support includes a volunteer-led telephone befriending service.

Their knowledge

Royal Star & Garter 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 the local communities.
