Frank Foster House Care Home, part of Runwood Homes Group, is proud to announce that it has officially achieved the Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF).
The VFF accreditation reflects the home’s strong commitment to supporting ex-service men and women, ensuring that all veterans living at Frank Foster House receive respectful, personalised and fully informed care tailored to their experiences and needs.
Through this achievement, Frank Foster House has demonstrated:
- Proactive identification and support of veterans within the home
- Staff training focused on the needs and experiences of ex-service personnel
- Promotion of dignity, respect and personalised support
- Ongoing improvement guided by the Veteran Friendly Framework
- Stronger connections with local veteran charities, organisations and community groups
Nicolas, Home Manager at Frank Foster House, shared his pride in the team’s accomplishment, saying:
“This is a fantastic achievement for everyone at Frank Foster House. Our staff have worked with dedication and compassion to ensure we provide the highest level of support for veterans in our care. We are honoured to be the first Runwood home to achieve the VFF and will continue standing with our veterans — yesterday, today and always.”
The accreditation was made possible thanks to the involvement of staff across all departments, the veterans living in the home and the home’s Veteran Champions, who all played a key role in supporting the initiative.
Achieving the VFF ensures that veterans living at Frank Foster House experience an environment that recognises their service, understands their needs and ensures care is delivered with dignity, compassion and respect. It also strengthens the home’s links to the wider veteran community, fostering ongoing support and collaboration.
