About Wymondley Nursing & Residential Care Home
Wymondley is a nursing and residential care home in Hitchin. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with daily living, for residents living with dementia and for people whose physical disability means they need skilled support to stay comfortable. Offering both residential and nursing care matters more than it might sound. It means that when somebody's health changes we can adjust what we provide rather than asking them to move again, and continuity of that kind is one of the things families tell us they value most. Nurses on duty around the clock let us manage wound and pressure care, continence needs, diabetes, pain relief and end of life care properly, working alongside GPs and district nursing teams. For residents living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the staff around them consistent, and we ask families to share the history that helps us make sense of somebody on a difficult afternoon. Respite stays are available, whether for a planned break for a family carer or for support after a hospital discharge. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families across Hertfordshire are welcome to visit. Please ring and we will show you round.
