About Us

Here at St Andrews Care Home, we are proud to be a trusted part of the Welwyn Garden City community, providing residential and dementia care for older people, younger adults, and those who need a short respite stay.

We understand that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone walks through our doors, we want them to feel genuinely at home. That means getting to know each person as an individual, understanding what matters to them day to day, and making sure their care reflects who they are rather than just what they need.

Our team supports people living with dementia with thoughtful, considered care that focuses on familiarity, dignity, and meaningful connection. For those joining us for respite care, whether to recover after a hospital stay or to give a family carer a well earned break, we aim to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Residential care at St Andrews is built around real life. Residents are encouraged to keep up with the hobbies and routines that bring them joy, and our communal spaces are designed to feel welcoming rather than clinical. Mealtimes are sociable occasions, and there is always something going on for those who want to get involved.

We were rated Good by the Care Quality Commission at our most recent inspection, which reflects the effort our whole team puts in every single day. We are always looking at how we can do better, and we welcome honest conversations with residents and families as part of that.

If you would like to find out whether St Andrews Care Home could be the right fit for your loved one, please do get in touch. We are always happy to show you around and answer any questions you might have.
