On Tuesday 13th October, from 10am–11.30am and every second Tuesday of each month, Care UK’s Weald Heights, on Bourchier Close, will be hosting a veterans breakfast club, giving residents and Sevenoaks locals a chance to meet and mingle with people who have served in the Armed Forces. 

On the day, guests will have the opportunity to chat with residents, sharing their stories and memories of their younger days, all while enjoying a tasty breakfast specially made by the home’s talented head chef. 

Weald Heights is accredited by the Veteran Friendly Framework – a collaboration between several armed forces charities. To achieve this status, they had to meet eight key standards, including noting Armed Forces status within care plans, addressing social isolation, and signposting to support services, such as their local Royal British Legion branch and other charities that provide support for veterans or their partners.   

Maria Covington, Home Manager at Weald Heights, said:“We’re delighted to be hosting the veterans breakfast club here at Weald Heights. 

“It’s incredibly important to us that members of the Armed Forces community feel recognised and appreciated, andthis event is a wonderful opportunity for us to express our gratitude to those who have served, including residents within our home. We’re proud to create a welcoming space where people can share stories, enjoy good company, and connect with others, especially those who may not always have someone to talk to. 

“We’re really looking forward to bringing everyone together to enjoy a hearty breakfast, make new friendships, and honour the remarkable individuals who have served our country.” 

Weald Heights is a purpose-built care home designed to deliver luxury hotel-style comfort for residents, complete with a bar, hair and beauty salon, cinema and beautiful gardens. The home is divided into residential, nursing and dementia care suites, encouraging close-knit communities in which residents can get to know each other, and people with similar needs can be cared for together.
