About Lancaster Court
Lancaster Court provides residential and dementia care for older people, with the wider Runwood Homes service also covering nursing and respite care. The home’s approach is centred on understanding each resident’s needs, preferences and life story, while encouraging independence, social interaction and participation.
Residents can personalise their rooms with familiar belongings, join daily activities and take part in minibus trips into the local community. Before moving in, the team carries out an assessment to understand care needs and routines, then supports a gentle introduction to the home. The home also hosts community activities and family involvement. Minibus trips into the local community add an opportunity for residents to maintain interests beyond the home.

What assessment is needed before moving into Lancaster Court?
A team member visits to carry out a full assessment of the person’s needs, preferences and routines before moving in.
Can residents bring valuable belongings to Lancaster Court?
They generally recommend not bringing valuable or irreplaceable items because they are not insured for loss or replacement of high-value belongings.
Can residents have visitors at any time?
Yes. Visitors are always welcome, although visiting times should be discussed with the home in advance where possible.
How does Lancaster Court support religious and cultural needs?
They take time to understand each person’s preferences and ensure religious and cultural needs are respected and supported in daily life.
How much does Lancaster Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lancaster Court for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £1,043 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
