About
Field House Care Home is a 35-bed residential home in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. It provides residential care, specialist dementia care and respite stays, and it also supports residents with Parkinson's, bariatric needs and continence management. The home occupies an Edwardian house on a quiet street, with an oak-panelled lounge, an original fireplace, ornate ceilings and gardens with shaded pergolas. It was not built as a care home. It has operated as one for over 40 years, having been founded by a local GP, and is now owned and run by Curaa, a family-run care company. A dedicated respite room is available for short stays.
The Care Quality Commission rates the home overall as Requires Improvement, based on its 2023 inspection report. Its key-question grades are Good for Effective, and Requires Improvement for Safe, Caring, Responsive and Well-led.
