Support For Veterans

Registered Charity Number 1210937

Solutions for Care are proud to support Veterans for Veterans in Care as our nominated charity, where your purchasing helps thousands of veterans in care.

Veterans for Veterans in Care is on a mission to locate the “Forgotten Army” of Armed Forces Veterans who are now in residential care throughout England and Wales. The 2021 census identified that, at that time some 26,000 direct veterans were in care homes (this figure did not include family members)

We NEED your help to find our “Forgotten Army” and help them reconnect with the armed forces community.

We can see the difference in a veteran resident immediately they are in contact with other veterans. They communicate more openly with other veterans discussing shared experiences, hardships and stories.

An example of this is when we met a veteran and were told “oh they are very quiet” Once introduced to another veteran and within minutes, the veteran resident was chatting away. Recalling their name, rank and number, where they had served and what regiment they had been in. The care home staff where astounded. We were not, we knew that our brothers and sisters who we served alongside would soon be reliving their service years and stories with us.

How can we help you, help your veteran residents? Imagine….

Being seen as a veteran friendly care home, where veterans are identified on admission for their service to our country, and the sacrifices they made are recognised and acknowledged.
Your staff being able to understand the difference between someone who has served and those that haven’t.
Having access to resources that will help family, friends and carers communicate with veterans about their service life.
Accessing a service which will build and strengthen relationships, improve wellbeing, and create confidence to discuss a veterans service with them.
Encouraging friends, families and carers along with your veteran residents to seek out and get involved with local veteran organisations such as breakfast clubs and drop in groups.

Are you ready to join us on our mission to find the “Forgotten Army” and to change their lives?

“After working with the team for the past 10 years, I did not hesitate to take Solutions for Care with me in my new challenge as Care Manager at Abbeywood Lodge. It is essential that we receive the best price at all times and I am safe in the knowledge that Solutions for Care will continue the excellent work they do in keeping my prices as low as possible.

Having the Solutions for Care team on our side allows me the luxury of knowing that products are being monitored and that they are continually looking at ways to reduce my costs.”
