About Us
Prince Michael of Kent Court is a residential care home in Watford. We care for older people who need help with daily living, including many people living with dementia, and we also support younger adults where we are confident we can meet their needs. Respite stays are part of what we do.
The house runs on the idea that people have moved home rather than moved into a system. People get up when they wake, eat when they are hungry, keep their own furniture and photographs around them, and spend the day where they choose, in company or quietly on their own. Help with washing, dressing and getting about is given when it is wanted and as discreetly as we can manage.
Dementia care here is mostly about steadiness. Familiar faces, a predictable rhythm to the day, and staff who know somebody's history well enough to understand what lies behind a difficult afternoon. We gather that history with families when a person arrives and keep adding to it, so the knowledge belongs to the home rather than leaving at the end of a shift.
Meals are cooked on the premises and matter a great deal to how people feel. There is something going on most days for anyone who wants it and no pressure on those who do not.
Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall, and visitors are welcome.
