About Highview Lodge
We at Highview Lodge are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the heart of Hemel Hempstead, providing dedicated dementia care and support for older people within a truly homely setting. Nestled in the HP postcode area of Hemel Hempstead, our home enjoys the benefits of its Hertfordshire location, offering residents a peaceful environment whilst remaining well connected to the wider community. The setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel like a genuine home from home, where residents can relax, feel comfortable, and enjoy familiar routines in surroundings that are both safe and reassuring. Our care goes beyond the everyday. As a residential care home, we specialise in supporting older people, including those living with dementia, as well as younger adults, individuals with physical disabilities, and residents with visual or hearing impairments. We also offer respite care, providing invaluable short term support for families who need a trusted place for their loved one whilst they take a well earned break. In practice, this means our team is experienced in adapting to a wide range of needs, offering person centred support that respects each resident's individuality, life story, and preferences. Whether it is companionship through the day, gentle encouragement with daily routines, or specialist dementia support that prioritises dignity and calm, our approach is always led by the person in our care. For families, this breadth of specialism offers real peace of mind. Knowing that a variety of needs can be met under one roof, by a team familiar with your loved one, means fewer transitions and more continuity of care. We understand how important it is to feel confident that your relative is somewhere they are known, valued, and supported with genuine warmth. Following our most recent CQC inspection in July 2025, Highview Lodge received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We are pleased that inspectors rated us Good for being Effective and Caring, recognising the quality of support residents receive and the compassion shown by our team every day. We fully acknowledge the areas identified for further development across Safe, Responsive, and Well led, and we are wholeheartedly committed to acting on this feedback. Transparent improvement is a priority for us, and we welcome open conversations with families about the steps being taken to raise standards across every part of our home. If you are exploring care options for someone you love, we warmly invite you to get in touch with Highview Lodge. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we would be honoured to answer your questions, share more about our approach, and help you decide whether our home is the right fit for your loved one.
