About Chaseways
We at Chaseways are proud to offer specialised residential care in the welcoming town of Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, providing a supportive home for adults with a diverse range of needs. Our community is built around understanding, dignity, and genuinely personalised support that places each resident at the heart of everything we do. Set within the CM postcode area of Sawbridgeworth, our home benefits from its location in a friendly East of England town that combines a peaceful, residential atmosphere with easy access to local amenities and the wider Hertfordshire community. The setting offers residents the reassurance of a calm environment whilst remaining connected to everyday life, helping families feel confident that their loved ones are part of a genuine neighbourhood. Our specialisms reflect the breadth of experience our team brings to residential care. We support adults living with learning disabilities and autism, those managing mental health conditions, individuals with visual or hearing impairments, and younger adults who may require a setting attuned to their stage of life. In practice, this means we take the time to understand each person as an individual, learning about their preferences, communication styles, routines, and aspirations. For someone with autism, that might mean a predictable daily structure and sensory considerations. For a resident with a visual or hearing impairment, it means thoughtful adaptations and patient communication. For younger adults, it means encouraging independence, social connection, and the pursuit of personal interests. Families can take comfort in knowing that care here is not one size fits all but shaped around the person receiving it. Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in March 2021, rated us as Requires Improvement overall, with Good ratings in both the Caring and Responsive domains. We are genuinely proud of the recognition our team has received for being caring and responsive, as these qualities sit at the very core of how we wish to be known. We also acknowledge openly that the Safe, Effective, and Well led domains were identified as areas requiring improvement, and we view this honestly as an opportunity rather than a setback. Continuous reflection, learning, and strengthening of our practices remain priorities, because the people who live with us and the families who trust us deserve nothing less than our ongoing commitment to getting better. If you are exploring residential care options for a loved one in Sawbridgeworth or the wider Hertfordshire area, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the questions, hopes, and concerns that come with it. We would be glad to talk with you, listen to what matters most, and help you decide whether Chaseways could be the right place to call home.
