About Eggleton House

Eggleton House is a residential care home in Tring, supporting older people from across Hertfordshire, including people living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. We are a residential home rather than a clinical setting, and we say so plainly because people deserve to know what they are choosing. What we provide is a household where the practical difficulties of later life have been taken off somebody's shoulders. Help with washing and dressing, given without fuss and in private. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here and served at a table. Somebody awake through the night. Company when it is wanted and peace when it is not. Most people move in after a hard stretch, so we take the first weeks slowly and learn how a person likes their day arranged before we start arranging anything. Routines matter more than people expect. If somebody has bathed at night for fifty years, we are not switching them to a morning shower because it suits the rota. For residents with a physical disability, accessible bathrooms, the right equipment and staff who know how that individual prefers to be helped to move are what keep daily life from shrinking. With dementia we work on familiarity and calm rather than correction, and relatives usually hold the detail that settles a difficult hour. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Come and have a cup of tea with us and ask the people who live here what they think.
