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.
