About Greenbanks
Greenbanks supports older people, younger adults and people living with dementia, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. Before moving in, an assessment explores each person’s needs, preferences and routines so support can be arranged around the individual.
Residents can take part in activities, outings and community events, with Runwood Homes’ minibus service helping people remain active beyond the home. Families may personalise rooms with familiar belongings, while the wider care offer includes residential, dementia, nursing and respite care. High-value or irreplaceable items are not recommended.

Questions families ask
What assessment is needed before moving into Greenbanks?
A team member visits before moving in to understand the person's needs, preferences and routines, and to ensure the right care and support are ready.
Can family and friends visit at any time?
Yes. Visitors are always welcome, although visiting times should be discussed with the home in advance where possible.
Should valuable items be brought to Greenbanks?
They generally recommend not bringing valuable or irreplaceable items because the home is not insured for loss or replacement of high-value belongings.
How much does Greenbanks cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Greenbanks for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £922 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
