Hatfield is located in a civil parish in Hertfordshire, in an area historically associated with aircraft design and manufacture.
The care home is a stone’s throw from The Galleria shopping centre and a short bus ride from Hatfield town centre.
Our dedicated team provides a range of care and support for our residents, including residential care, dementia care, nursing care, palliative care and respite care.
Our care home has been designed with the usual comforts you’d expect such as welcoming lounges with fireplaces, light and airy dining rooms and cosy bedrooms, which provide a warm place for our residents to rest and relax. We also have our very own pub called ‘The Comet’.
However, it’s the small personal touches and our friendly team, who care for our residents as if they were members of their own family, which make Hatfield a true home from home.
We welcome visits from family and friends and have an open door policy, so whether loved ones like to pop in for a coffee or take part in an activity, we encourage them to become part of the community within our home.
We hold regular meetings for residents and relatives, enabling our residents and their loved ones to be directly involved in everyday life at Hatfield.
