About Villa Scalabrini

Villa Scalabrini is a residential care home in Shenley, Hertfordshire, providing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. We also offer respite stays. We want the home to feel like a household rather than an institution. Residents keep their own routines and their own belongings around them, choose how they spend the day and are helped with washing, dressing, medication and mobility in the way that suits them. Food and mealtimes matter a great deal here, and so does having company when you want it and quiet when you do not. Good dementia care depends on knowing people properly. Our team learns each resident's history, their family and the things that comfort or unsettle them, and works at the resident's pace rather than ours. Where somebody is anxious, there is usually a reason and we look for it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that, although what pleases us more is a resident who has settled, a family who can rest, and a team who choose to stay with us. If you are looking at residential care in Hertfordshire, please arrange to visit and see an ordinary day here for yourself.
