For over 100 years, we have been providing care for ex-servicemen and women of varying ages and needs, from those who served in WW2 to those who more recently served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hearing our veterans explain the things they have experienced makes you realise quite how extraordinary they are. It is important for us to remember their stories and to remember that after their service has finished, Broughton House is where they call home.
Our multi-disciplinary and enthusiastic team provide a variety of care for our veterans including holistic services, dementia care, general nursing and residential needs on one recently rebuilt state-of-the-art site in Salford, Greater Manchester.
Our unique approach is an inspiring vision to enable and empower the armed forces community to live with dignity and independence in ‘life after service’.
