Ilford Park Polish Home is a residential and nursing care home in Stover, Devon, in England run by the Ministry of Defence. The site was one of 45 resettlement camps established by the National Assistance Board in the late 1940s to cater for Polish veterans entitled to remain in the UK under the Polish Resettlement Act 1947.
