information SERVICE DETAILS

Opened in 2009 within the grounds of Erskine Edinburgh Care Home, this facility is managed entirely by Army personnel who are responsible for the welfare and recovery of their resident soldiers.

It has a dedicated 12 bed wing and is the result of a partnership between the Ministry of Defence, The Royal British Legion, Erskine and Help for Heroes. It provides accommodation and support for soldiers who have been wounded, injured or are long term sick.

As a component of the Army Recovery Capability and under command of the commanding officer 51 Brigade Personnel Recovery Unit, the centre allows soldiers to recover in a residential environment with specialised support provided by military agencies. Soldiers gain from a structured environment close to existing garrison facilities including rehabilitation, a gym, career management and counselling.

It provides residential accommodation for up to 12 personnel and 15 day attendees.
