Welcome to Guysfield Residential Home Letchworth, Hertfordshire
Our home is free from Coronavirus
You can find us in the beautiful conservation village of Willian, just a mile to the south of Letchworth Garden City, in Hertfordshire. With all the amenities of a modern home, you’ll find first-class facilities with exciting activities, and plenty of places to relax or entertain.
There’s beautiful gardens to explore and our residents like to make the most of local amenities – including the village shop, post office and our local pubs: ‘The Fox’ and ‘The Three Horseshoes’.
We're open for safe admissions, managing visits and routinely testing everyone. Our strict Infection Control Assurance measures are in place to safeguard our residents, colleagues and all visiting professionals. Weekly testing of all colleagues and monthly testing of all residents is being carried out as per current government guidance. New residents benefit from a personalised wellbeing plan during their initial 7-14 days and we welcome named visitors to help them settle in.
If you’re a little unsure of what type of care is needed, or would like to move in as a couple, we’re happy to help with the details. Request a virtual tour today.

Daily life
Keeping things personal
At Guysfield
The wonderful surroundings at Guysfield are matched by the standard of care our team brings residents. We love learning as much as we can about the people we care for, so your loved one’s time is tailored to their individual needs, interests and preferences. This can be as small as knowing when they like to wake up, to how they like their tea, and everything in between.
We give as much independence as possible, letting individuals choose how to run the home and if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. Just as putting their own stamp on their bedroom, we’ll help them to personalise it with the things they love.
Every need catered for
Mealtimes are an important part of daily life at Guysfield Residential Home. We know eating well and the social experience of dining are key to health and wellbeing. Our chefs select a different menu each day, creating lots of home-cooked dishes with fresh ingredients to choose from. Using their in-depth knowledge of nutrition, they cater for any special diets and needs.
Keep doing what you love
At Guysfield Residential Home, there’s something to tickle everyone’s fancy – from the craft room to the hair salon, our packed schedule of events and activities, to picnics in the lovely gardens. And if residents prefer to spend one-on-one time with a member of the team, they can read the paper, pop to the shops or have a pint in the local pub. We have strong connections with the Willian community, many of our residents invite them to join in our activities or even run their own here.
You'll be in good company this spring
Book a respite stay for peace of mind
Over four million older people in the UK say they feel lonely and lack the friendship and support which we all need. Our respite and permanent stays offer the chance to see some new faces and try out some new things with as much or as little support as you need.
During this unprecedented time, many residents have chosen us for peace of mind so they feel safe in the knowledge that care and support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should they need it, as well as staying connected. Whether you're looking for permanent care or a respite stay, ask us about our latest availability in our homes and the extra things we are doing to keep our residents, families and teams safe.
Pawel Michalewicz
As Home Manager of Guysfield, I lead a professional staff team in delivering the highest standards of residential care for up to 49 elderly people.
Having started as a Care Assistant at Guysfield over 15 years ago and working my way up to Home Manager, I bring stability, continuity and a familiar face to the role. I take my responsibilities very seriously and strive to maintain a safe environment, promote the highest standard of care and make a positive difference to each and every resident’s life.
Guysfield has been such a big part of my life for the past twelve years that I am delighted to continue the good work we do here in delivering the best possible care for our residents.
I strongly believe in maintaining a ‘hands on’ approach to management. I understand the importance of listening to residents, relatives and staff, and the key contribution all of these groups make to the successful running of a care home.
I am keen to take a proactive approach to the training programme within the home, built primarily around delivering highly person centred care for the residents of Guysfield, but also supporting effective personal development for my care team, I am currently working towards my QCF Level 5.
I live just a few miles from Guysfield. In my leisure time I like to take advantage of the picturesque surroundings of the local area, enjoying many outdoor activities and socialising with family and friends.
