About Iris Court Care Home
Iris Court Care Home combines residential care, dementia care and respite stays in a purpose-built setting designed for older people and younger adults. Its care model is person-centred, with indoor and outdoor spaces intended to support safe movement, independence and familiarity.
Residents have access to communal dining areas, landscaped surroundings and spaces for family time, including a private dining room and family room. Meals are prepared on site using locally sourced meat and vegetables, with seasonal options and modified-texture dishes available according to individual needs. Respite and short-stay care also makes the home relevant to families arranging temporary support or assessing longer-term care.

Questions families ask
How much does Iris Court Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Iris Court Care Home 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Iris Court Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Hertfordshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
