Welcome to Field House Care Home in Harpenden

With excellent transport links to London, Field House is perfectly situated for residents who, on occasion might like to travel to the capital to experience the bright lights of the big city. Located near Harpenden, this former private house is on a quiet tree-lined residential road and is packed with original character features.

Outside of the home is the beautiful sweeping garden, which has plenty of seating areas to rest and relax in during the warmer months, and also a shaded pergola.

There is a variety of care types on offer, which ensure that whatever our residents' needs, there's a care plan to fit them – from Parkinson’s care to daily nursing, respite and convalescence.

Life at Field House Care Home

With a dedicated activities room and a separate quiet lounge, a considerable amount of thought and care has been put into ensuring that our residents have somewhere to relax and enjoy the range of activities on offer.

    Our activities

    There is a hugely enjoyable programme of activities at Field House. The activity co-ordinator works hard with each resident to draw up a list of events so there's something to appeal to everyone. This can range from arts and crafts to gentle gardening and coffee mornings.

    In addition to the more traditional range of activities available at other homes, Field House also has a residents' committee and a Friends of Field House group. We find that becoming involved in these groups is a great way for our residents to mix and form friendships that last for years.

    Any of our residents who get peckish throughout the day can take advantage of the all-day snack menu, which includes tea, coffee, biscuits and delicious homemade cakes.

    Our rooms

    The residents' rooms are the place where they're free to stamp their own mark. By encouraging our residents to bring in any personal items or small pieces of furniture, our hope is that they'll quickly feel at home and settled.

    All of our 32 rooms are decorated to a high standard, have a TV point and a 24-hour call system.

    • Many rooms with ensuite
    • Telephone points
    • 24-hour call system

    You can make an appointment by calling us and booking in a visit with our home manager.  We have an open door policy, so you’re welcome to pop in to the home at any time. However, we advise you avoid visiting at main meal times as these can be very busy.

    Depending on its size, new residents are welcome to bring furniture to their new room. Many of our residents bring a favourite armchair or pictures and other small belongings to personalise their room.

    This depends on availability of rooms in the home, understanding the cost of care and the person moving in receiving a care assessment.
