Do they care for people with physical and mental disabilities?
Yes. They accommodate residents with physical and mental illnesses and disabilities, including people needing general nursing care, palliative care or support with conditions such as dementia.
How is each resident’s care plan organised?
A named nurse meets the resident and family to create an individual care plan around their needs and wishes. Regular review meetings are then held to keep the plan up to date.
Can older people apply directly without local authority funding?
Yes. Older people who do not require local authority funding can approach the home directly, after which the home checks that it can meet their individual needs.
What activities do they organise for residents?
Their activity co-ordinators organise daily activities and larger events, including crafts, gardening, cookery, bingo, quizzes, music and reminiscence, with individual sessions also available.
Can they provide special diets and personalised meals?
Yes. Food is freshly cooked on site each day, menus change regularly and the cook can provide other requested dishes. The kitchen also caters for special diets and can liaise with dieticians when needed.
How much does St Catherines Nursing Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Catherines Nursing Home 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.
