Objectives

We were established in 1919 to care for those soldiers returning from World War I with life-changing disabilities and for over 100 years have provided long term nursing care, rehabilitation, respite and award-winning end of life care to disabled ex-Servicemen and women from the RAF, Army, Royal Navy and auxiliary services. 

Activities

Our care and rehabilitation includes physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy and neuropsychology, as well as social and recreational activities and a chaplaincy service – all delivered from our facilities in Worthing, West Sussex.

Currently, our residents range in age from 34-96 years old, and the majority of those we care for have Acquired Brain Injury or a degenerative neurological condition, such as multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease and Parkinson’s. We are seen as a centre of excellence in caring for people with Acquired Brain Injury and last year, we were awarded Platinum Status by The Gold Standards Framework for our end of life care – the highest award possible and of which we are very proud.
