About Us

Three Rivers Care Home is a residential care home in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, caring for older people including those living with dementia. We offer permanent places and shorter respite stays. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. A good care home is built from ordinary things done consistently. Meals people look forward to. Mornings that are not rushed. Staff who know that one resident always wants the crossword and another cannot bear the television on in the background. We put our effort into those details because they are what residents actually experience. Residents decide how to spend their days. Some enjoy the sociable parts of the house and whatever is going on, others prefer their own room, their books and the garden view, and both are entirely acceptable. Rooms belong to the people in them, and we encourage families to bring furniture, pictures and the things that make a space feel familiar. For residents living with dementia, familiarity and consistency matter more than almost anything. We keep routines steady and ask families to share the person's history so that our team can understand what lies behind a question or a worry, and respond to the feeling rather than correcting the detail. We would much rather families visited often and told us when something was wrong. If you are considering care for a relative, please come and look round, meet the team and take your time.
