About St George's Nursing Home
St George's Nursing Home is in Royston, Hertfordshire. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, for people living with dementia, for those managing mental ill health, for adults with physical disabilities and for people with sight or hearing loss. We also take respite bookings. Nursing cover is here at every hour, which means we can look after people with substantial health needs on site, and manage periods of illness here rather than through repeated hospital admissions. Our care staff work alongside the nursing team and know the people living here well enough to notice when somebody is not themselves. Alongside that, we work to keep this a place where people live rather than are treated. Rooms hold people's own belongings, the day has shape without being regimented, and there is company for those who want it and peace for those who do not. We would rather be open with you about our regulator than let you find out elsewhere. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission found that we require improvement overall. We have taken it seriously, there is an action plan we are working through with the whole staff team, and we will talk any family through exactly what was raised, what has changed and what is still in hand. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable hour. Please come and see the home for yourself.
