About
Abbey Care Home is a 20-bed care home on Collier Row Road in Romford, Havering. Meals are cooked in the home from familiar ingredients, and the menus change daily. A cook can offer an alternative to the main choice, and special dietary needs can be catered for. Hot and cold drinks and snacks are available whenever residents want them. Residents can eat in the main lounge, their bedroom or the conservatory, and family visits at lunchtime can be made into an occasion.
The home has a large communal lounge and a conservatory that opens onto the garden at the rear. The garden is spacious and well maintained, with level paths and lawns, and events are held outdoors in summer when the weather allows. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2022 report. Its key questions were rated Good for safe, effective, caring and well-led care, and Requires Improvement for responsiveness.
