About Courtland Lodge
Courtland Lodge is a residential care home in Watford. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We try to keep the home feeling like somewhere people live rather than somewhere they are placed. There is no reason a move into care should mean giving up a lie in, a favourite chair, a preferred way of taking tea or the freedom to shut your own door. People bring their own belongings, choose how they spend the day, and join in with what is on offer only if they want to. Physical disability and dementia both need patience and consistency from a staff team. We take time to find out how someone likes to be helped, how much they can do for themselves and what makes them feel rushed, and we write that down so that the answer does not change with the shift. Families in Hertfordshire often come to us at a difficult point, having managed at home for a long time. We try to make the move as steady as we can, and we keep relatives properly involved afterwards rather than only ringing with bad news. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at residential care in Watford, please come and visit and see how the home feels.
