New support service for anyone who has served in armed forces
The Royal British Legion is now providing an Admiral Nurse (specialist dementia nurse) in Oxfordshire for people who have served in the armed forces.
The Admiral Nurse will focus on providing support for informal and family carers, helping to navigate some of the challenges that caring for someone with dementia can bring.
The Admiral Nurse can also help access other support offered by the Royal British Legion, such as financial assistance and assistive technology.
Who is eligible?
You can access the services of the RBL’s Admiral Nurse if either the person with dementia or their informal or family carer is currently serving or has served and completed a minimum one day of paid service in the Armed Forces (including National Service, Territorial, Army, Navy, Marines and RAF).
How to make contact
