About Fourways
Here at Fourways, we are a nursing home based in Berkhamsted, Central Bedfordshire, and we are proud to offer a place where residents feel genuinely at home. We understand that choosing a care setting is one of the most significant decisions a person and their family can make, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our team provides nursing care to a range of people, including younger adults, individuals with a learning disability or autism, and those who need a shorter period of respite care. We recognise that each person who comes through our doors has their own story, their own preferences, and their own way of living, and we do our best to reflect that in the care we provide day to day. Respite care is something we offer with real thought behind it. Whether someone needs a planned break or a more immediate arrangement, we aim to make the transition as straightforward and comfortable as possible, both for the individual and for the people who care for them at home. For those living with a learning disability or autism, we know how important consistency and familiarity are. We work to create an environment where routines are respected and where people feel safe, understood, and listened to rather than simply managed. Being part of the Berkhamsted community matters to us. We want Fourways to be a place that families feel comfortable visiting, a place where residents maintain connections to the people and things that are important to them. We are currently unrated by the Care Quality Commission, and we welcome the scrutiny that independent inspection brings. We believe in being open about where we are and honest about where we want to improve. If you would like to find out more or come and see us, we would be very glad to hear from you.
