About Acacia Mews Care Home
Acacia Mews Care Home is a residential home in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, caring for older people and for younger adults who need support with daily living, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. We offer permanent residential care and shorter respite stays, so we can help when home has stopped feeling safe, when a family carer needs a planned break, or when somebody needs time to regain confidence after a hospital admission. Moving into a home is a significant step and we try to make the first weeks gentle, which mostly means listening carefully rather than organising quickly. Our care follows the person. We ask about the work someone did, the places they have lived, the food they actually enjoy, the routines they have kept for years and what they would still rather do themselves, and we shape their support around those answers. For residents living with dementia we keep familiar faces around them, allow plenty of time and look for the reason behind distress instead of simply settling it. Where somebody has a physical disability we work out together how to make the day as independent as it can be. Meals are cooked here and requests are welcome. Relatives can visit through the day and we would rather ring you with news than leave you to ask. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and see us if you are looking at homes in the area.
