"Like every one of the Legion's seven residential Poppy Homes, we are exclusive to ex-Service people and their dependants.

That’s why we're like a big family that every one of our residents belongs to – no one feels left out.

Dunkirk Memorial House has 60 rooms, all with en-suite facilities. We know how much being independent means to so many of our residents, so everyone has a key to his or her own room. Round-the-clock care from a team of experienced, registered nurses and dedicated care assistants gives a feeling of security.

To arrange a visit, or simply for further information, please call the phone number above."
