About Queensway House
Queensway House provides residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care for people over 65. Its nursing provision includes 24-hour specialist clinical support from registered and qualified nursing staff, while residential care assists with daily activities when living independently becomes difficult.
The home also provides regular activities, private rooms and facilities for comfortable living. Families considering care can explore separate pathways for dementia, nursing, residential and palliative support, depending on assessed needs. 24-hour specialist clinical care is the defining practical feature for people who require nursing intervention as part of their placement.

How much does Queensway House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Queensway House 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.
