About Libury Hall

Libury Hall is a residential care home near Ware in Hertfordshire. We support older people, including people managing mental health conditions, and we offer respite stays for people needing care for a short period. Supporting mental health in a residential setting is largely a matter of steadiness rather than intervention. We keep to arrangements we have made. We notice when somebody seems unlike themselves without turning it into an interrogation. We make it easy to talk to us without a formal appointment, and we are as reliable on the difficult weeks as on the good ones. Progress is rarely a straight line and our job is not to be surprised by that. This is people's home and we treat it accordingly. Rooms are theirs to arrange. People decide how their days go, who they see, whether they want company or their own space. We knock before we come in, we ask rather than assume, and we are quite prepared to be disagreed with. Being treated as an adult with your own view of your own life is not an extra here. Where people are working with community mental health teams, GPs or social workers, we join up with them properly rather than running alongside them, and we raise concerns early. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection.
