Brunswick Court Care Home is a modern, purpose-built home in Watford, Hertfordshire, that offers residential care, nursing, convalescence, respite, palliative care, and daycare services.
Brunswick Court provides care for people with Huntington’s and Parkinson’s. It also participates in the NHS Discharge to Assess initiative, which allows people to recover in the care home rather than waiting in hospital.
The modern home is the perfect setting for relaxing or recovering. In a leafy residential neighbourhood in Watford, Brunswick Court Care Home is just a short stroll from Watford's library, leisure centre, park, and town centre shops.
