About Us

Beau Sejour is a residential care home in St Albans, Hertfordshire. We support older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia, adults with a learning disability or autism, people living with a mental health condition and those with a physical disability. We also offer respite care for planned short stays.

Supporting that range of people well means refusing to run the house to a single timetable, so we do not. Residents decide when they get up, what they eat, where they spend their time and how much they join in with what is going on. Company and activity are offered rather than imposed, and someone who wants a quiet afternoon in their own room is not a problem to be solved.

Before anybody moves in we spend time with them and with the people who know them best, because the small details are what decide how quickly a person settles, and they shape how we support somebody from the first day rather than sitting unread in a file.

Dementia support runs through the whole home. We keep surroundings familiar, avoid rushing anyone, and take time to understand what settles a particular resident. Where somebody has a learning disability, autism or a physical disability, we adapt how we communicate and how the home is arranged so that the building and the routine work for them.

Respite stays are planned with the same thought as a permanent move. Visitors are welcome and we would rather families felt at home here. Please contact us if you would like to look round.
