About Robin Hood House
Robin Hood House specialises in residential dementia care for older people, providing 24-hour support in a small, intimate and dementia-friendly environment. Its staff have dementia accreditation from Hertfordshire County Council, and the home is set within the National Trust estate of Ashridge, near Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead.
The house provides home-cooked meals, housekeeping, laundry and medication management within a single fee. Care is shaped through life histories, observation and regular reviews, while activities reflect residents’ hobbies and personal stories. A dementia-friendly garden offers a secure outdoor space for residents and families, and the home recommends a settling-in period as residents adjust to a new routine. Small, intimate dementia-friendly environments define the home’s approach.
