Keeping Things Personal
The wonderful surroundings at our care home in Hertfordshire 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 provide as much independence as possible. Whether by giving individuals have input on how the home is run, if they prefer dinner in front of the TV, or even dusting their own room, we’ll make it happen. We encourage residents putting their own stamp on their private space, too.
We consistently apply infection control procedures and services that meet or exceed the requirements and expectations of our customers.
