Lottie's guide to care in Hertfordshire

  • Overview

Welcome to Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire blends peaceful countryside with the convenience of well-connected towns, making it a popular choice for families seeking care. Local hospitals, including Lister in Stevenage and Watford General, provide dependable medical support, while access to local clinics and GP practices makes day-to-day healthcare straightforward for residents.

Every Hertfordshire care home listed with Lottie is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and thoroughly reviewed by our in-house Care Experts. These homes provide expert-led care across personal, nursing, respite, and palliative services - often with additional wellness options like physiotherapy and holistic therapies.

Many homes in the county - including the ‘Outstanding’ rated Fonthill House - are run by trusted providers like Bupa, Signature and Avery Healthcare, where homes often go beyond the basics when it comes to facilities. You’ll find cinema lounges with comfortable seating, wellness rooms for holistic therapies, accessible gardens with raised beds and allotments, and hair salons open weekly for residents. Several homes also provide dedicated spaces for families - whether that’s private lounges for quiet conversation, dining rooms for shared meals, or guest suites for overnight stays.

Activities tend to be varied and reflect each home’s culture, along with residents’ personal interests. You’ll find baking afternoons using residents’ favourite family recipes, art groups inspired by the St Albans Cathedral stained glass, or pet therapy visits that bring lots of laughter. Family-friendly events such as outdoor summer fêtes or Christmas carol evenings are always a fantastic opportunity to invite loved ones as well.

Lottie makes it easy to filter and compare options based on what matters most. For tailored support that saves you time and stress, our Care Experts can build you a free care home shortlist, delivered straight to your inbox.
