REMEMBRANCE is being marked at a care home for veterans and their loved ones with a campaign highlighting the benefits its care has on relationships between residents and their relatives.
Family members have spoken of the relief they feel when loved ones settle in at Royal Star and Garter, which cares for those living with disability or dementia.
With residents’ care and wellbeing needs being met by staff, families can re-establish their relationships so they can enjoy being together sharing stories and reliving memories.
Among those featured in Royal Star and Garter’s Remembrance campaign is June, who is living with dementia.
Prior to moving to the Solihull Home, she was looked after by her three daughters.
Her daughter Sue said: “My sisters and I have peace of mind and it’s a relief because the team at Royal Star and Garter now do the nursing bit and we get the best part of her again.
“We get to take her out, have fun spending quality time together and listening to the stories she has to share.
“As our children, her grandchildren, have come along, it’s also been important for them to be part of this vital sharing of our family history.”
