“"We’re delighted that Parkside Care Home in Maryport has achieved VFF status, reflecting their ongoing dedication to providing high-quality, person-centred care for veteran residents and their partners. This recognition highlights their commitment to continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that those who have served feel understood, respected, and supported. Through this programme, both current and future residents, as well as staff at Parkside, will benefit from the resources, guidance, and connection to the armed forces community. This will continue to ensure that staff gain a deeper understanding of the unique experiences of veterans and their partners, enabling them to provide even more compassionate and meaningful support."
“"We are incredibly proud that Parkside Care Home has become the first Cumberland Council care home to achieve Veteran Friendly Framework status. This accreditation reflects the dedication of the team to providing high-quality, person-centred care that recognises and values the experiences of our Armed Forces community. Veterans have made a significant contribution to our country and it is important that, as they get older, they receive care and support that acknowledges their service and understands their unique needs. This achievement also demonstrates Cumberland Council's ongoing commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and to ensuring veterans living in our communities are supported, respected and able to live well."
