About The Mead
Daytime support is available at The Mead for older people living at home or with family, while the home also offers residential care. Its registration covers care for dementia, older people and physical disabilities. Adult day care can give families a practical break while their relative receives care and company during the day.
Residents have access to lounges, dining rooms and themed communal areas. Quantum Care also lists residential, dementia, respite and day care across its services, alongside activities within its homes. The Mead therefore brings together a permanent care setting and a distinct daytime support service.

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