About Eggleton House

Eggleton House in Tring is a residential care home for older people, supporting people from across Hertfordshire, including those living with dementia and people who have a physical disability. What we are trying to run is a household rather than an institution, and the difference shows in small, checkable things. Whether somebody knocks before coming into your room. Whether you can still make your own tea when you want one. Whether rising at half past nine counts as a preference or a problem. Whether the food is worth looking forward to. None of that works unless the practical side is dependable, so we are careful about personal care, medication, meals cooked in our own kitchen and having staff awake and available through the night. 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 quietly shrinking. Dementia is part of most of our days, and we gave up correcting people a long time ago. Consistent staff, a calm house and enough of somebody's history to find the thread of a conversation achieve far more, and relatives are usually the ones who can give us that history. 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 make of the place.

Dementia Care at Eggleton House

Eleven of the 21 homes around Tring hold a Good or Outstanding rating, and Eggleton House has not been inspected since registering in July 2026. Its own position on dementia is clear, that it gave up correcting people a long time ago and relies instead on consistent staff, a calm house and enough of somebody's history to find the thread of a conversation. Relatives, it says, are usually the ones who can supply that history. Good dementia care also needs a layout that feels calm and secure, which is worth looking at in a building of 72 places. Ask what training staff receive, how distress and walking are handled, and how care changes as dementia advances.

Residential Care at Eggleton House

Weekly fees across the East of England usually run from £1000 to £1350, while Hertfordshire council pays about £750 to £900, so ask how any difference is met.
