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. New residents benefit from a personalised wellbeing plan during their initial 14 days. If you’re a little unsure of what type of care is needed, we’re happy to help with the details.

Visiting Our Care Homes

We understand that it's important for you to view a home when choosing care. Here's what to expect when you visit one of our homes to minimise any risk of infection.

The types of care we provide

Convalescence Care

Support to get people feeling their best before returning home after time in hospital, an operation or a period of illness.

Dementia Care

A person with dementia may need more care and support as their condition progresses. Care at our home can help them to live well with dementia.

Permanent Care

From the day our residents move in, we do everything to help them settle in as well as offering support for the whole family.

Residential Care

Helping residents to maintain their independence with assistance such as bathing, toileting, dressing and eating as well as helping them to get around.

Palliative Care

Working closely with GPs and other health specialists, we make sure individuals are as comfortable as possible. We understand and respect their wishes and provide support for families too.

Day Care

Day care offers a friendly, refreshing option for people still living at home, but who might need some extra help, or just want a change of scenery during the day.

Respite Care

Respite stays can be tailored to each person’s individual care needs which can be from a few days or for as long as is needed.

Living well with Dementia

We are proud to be the only care home group to have our own unique award-winning dementia training ‘My World’ which is accredited by City and Guilds. It highlights the importance of meaningful activities and a stimulating environment for people living with dementia, in addition to addressing clinical aspects of care.

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.

A real occasion

The dining rooms at Guysfield Residential Home are laid out in a restaurant style, with tablecloths, folded napkins, crockery and glassware. If preferred, meals can also be served in an individual’s room.

A chance to relax

We make sure mealtimes are a relaxed, enjoyable experience. Team members sit with residents to have a chat and support those who need a little extra encouragement or help.

In good company

Visitors are welcome to join us for a morning coffee or stay for a meal. On special occasions, we can also arrange intimate get-togethers and parties for families and friends.

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.

Keeping busy

There are group activities to enjoy seven days a week, including crafts, quizzes, films and live entertainment. We also love one-to-one time doing something that the residents want to.

Out and about

Friends and family are welcome to visit whenever they like, and where better for a catch up than the lounge? If residents fancy a day trip, we’ll often pop out for tea and cake too.

House proud

We encourage residents to get involved with activities around the house. Simple things like gardening, hosting afternoon tea or laying the table for dinner can spark up friendships and help residents settle in.

Are you in need of a break this winter?

Book a respite stay for peace of mind

Caring for a loved one can be consuming, leaving little time for the demands of winter planning and hosting. If you need to take some time away from your everyday caring role at any point in the run up to, or during the winter period, we’re welcoming new residents safely, with our short stay, respite breaks.

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 and the extra things we are doing to keep our residents, families and teams safe.

Pawel Michalewicz

I lead my professional Care Team in delivering the highest level of care and support for our residents. My commitment to professional development has equipped me well for my role here, where I work hard to ensure that those in my care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.

I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives, and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home.

I feel that the Caring Homes philosophy matches up well with my own beliefs on care provision and I am committed to ensuring that all our residents continue to receive the high levels of care and protection they deserve.
