Elstree View Care Home

About Us

We at Elstree View Care Home are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care home in the heart of Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, where compassionate support meets everyday comfort. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to be a place where residents feel truly at ease, whether they are joining us for long term residential care, specialist dementia support, or a shorter respite stay.

Set within the friendly community of Borehamwood in the WD postcode area, our home benefits from the calm, suburban character of this well connected corner of Hertfordshire. Residents and their loved ones enjoy the reassurance of familiar local surroundings, with the wider East of England on the doorstep. The setting encourages a gentle pace of life, allowing visits from family and friends to feel relaxed and unhurried.

Inside, we focus on creating spaces that feel like home rather than an institution. Comfortable communal lounges provide places to chat, read, or share a cup of tea, whilst quieter areas offer moments of calm for reflection or one to one time with visiting relatives. Every detail, from lighting to layout, is considered with our residents in mind, particularly those living with sensory impairments or reduced mobility.

Our care approach is built around the individual. We specialise in supporting older people, including those living with dementia, and we also welcome younger adults and residents with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments. In practice, this means our team takes time to understand each person's history, preferences, and daily routines, tailoring support so that independence and dignity are always at the centre of the day. Families can feel confident that their loved one is known as a person, not simply a resident.

For those living with dementia, we provide a calm, structured environment where familiar routines and gentle stimulation help to reduce anxiety and promote wellbeing. Our respite care offers a valuable option for families who need short term support, whether following a hospital stay, during a family holiday, or simply to allow a regular carer a well earned rest. Whatever the length of stay, our commitment to warm, attentive care remains the same.

We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, which is why our CQC rating matters. Following the latest inspection in August 2023, Elstree View Care Home was rated Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent recognition reflects the everyday dedication of our team and the standards we hold ourselves to, offering families genuine reassurance that their loved one is in capable and caring hands.

If you are exploring care options for someone dear to you, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Whether you have a specific question, would like to arrange a visit, or simply want to talk through what life at Elstree View could look like, our door is always open. We are here to listen, to guide, and to help your family feel supported every step of the way.
