Today some 300 army veterans call the Royal Hospital Chelsea home. The Hospital offers independent living in a sheltered housing environment intended for those who, upon admission, are self-caring and able to live independently with extra support where required but without the need for nursing care. We do offer nursing care but the Royal Hospital cannot accept direct entries to the nursing wards as space is limited and, priority is given to our existing residents. Chelsea Pensioners can also access onsite therapy services (Occupational Therapy & Physiotherapy) as well as a comprehensive activities programme which involves both onsite and external events & activities.

I'm proud to say that my Late Grandfather was a Chelsea Pensioner, he served his Country like everyone else did during England's Darkest hour . Sometimes My Late Grandmother didn't know if he was dead or alive . His name was Walter Dixon born in Sheffield. Died in Chelsea Pensioners, His ashes are interned in the soil of the Chelsea Pensioners Grave yard .

Seriously the UK should look at building a few more of these types of homes for the single older ex-serving personnel; as well as a few for the widowed ex NHS, ex Police, ex Fire Service etc etc.

Amen to that.

Thanks for your kind words David. We're very proud of the 'outstanding' quality of care shown by all of our staff towards our Nation's veterans and equally with our award-winning end-of-life care treatment which allows each of the Chelsea Pensioners the dignified end they deserve.

According to records I’ve uncovered my great great grandfather was a pensioner at Chelsea in the early 1900s

This is an amazing, dignified way to treat elderly people.

@deplorabled1695 4 года назад

Yes. The UK has a long history of hospices for the elderly where they could mingle and congregate together. We need more of these.

Before my Grandmother died she wanted an Autopsy done on her because she always joked that her husband would poison her so as he could become a Chelsea Pensioner, his ashes are in the Cemetery at the Hospital, he really enjoyed it there talking about his army days . Thank you for looking after him, his name was Sergeant Walter Dixon.

They need this in the USA.

@baronedipiemonte3990 Год назад

Yes, we do. But until we can get a proper VA system......

@glencoe1951 9 месяцев назад

Vets are the forgotten ones when they are no longer serving and/or have a Service related disability. Almost the same here down under.@@baronedipiemonte3990

It's a pity that we don't have that type of organisation here in Australia. As an ex-serviceman (10 years Military Police) I would jump at the chance to become a "Pensioner". God bless.

@paulbarrett6910 2 года назад

What an awesome organization.

Chelsea Hospital is the only hospital where you have to pass a medical to be admitted.

I don't know about Buckingham... I've seen documentaries about things that creep and crawl in the woodwork, and the Queen Mother was often seen shooting rats after the blitz's. It's too bad there aren't places like Chelsea in the U.S.

no chance, but it is a pity there isnt, in your country, afterall your soldgiers army fought in the war to keep you safe, from hitler

@Sparky-ov1ot 3 года назад

@@melody9665 Hello I think you will find there are many veterans homes all over the states, of course they are nothing like the surroundings in Chelsea, but they care for many more veterans than here in the UK obviously because they have a much larger army, navy and air force. Many of these accommodations provide much needed help for recently discharged service people with many and various needs and of course like anything else they are always in need of support. I think as you will have heard in this video it is the support of like minded people that they appreciate the most, the actual living conditions though important come second. One example of these is the Veterans Accession House in California offering a wide range of help both on and off site, something like our RBL used to do but now closing down residential homes and withdrawing other services for various reasons but probably mainly for lack of funding.
