Care in Baldock
Care in Baldock, in the Heart of the Town We Call Home
Burleigh House has provided residential and dementia care in Baldock since 1989, a family-run care home a short walk from the high street, the market and the community our residents have known for decades.
Our Home Town
Baldock: a market town that still feels like one
Baldock is one of Hertfordshire's oldest market towns, with a history stretching back to the Knights Templar in the 12th century. Its Georgian high street, the landmark spire of St Mary's Church and a weekly street market give the town a settled, familiar character that larger towns have lost.
Burleigh House sits on Letchworth Road, a few minutes' walk from the town centre. Many of our residents grew up in Baldock, Letchworth or the surrounding North Hertfordshire villages, and for them, care in Baldock means staying part of the place they know rather than moving away from it.

What a Baldock setting means for residents
For residents, the town is part of the care. Outings from Burleigh House are not coach trips to somewhere unfamiliar, they are short, comfortable visits to a high street many residents have known all their lives. A walk to the market, a coffee in a familiar café or a service at St Mary’s can hold real meaning, particularly for residents living with dementia, where recognisable places help anchor memory and identity.
For families, Baldock is genuinely easy to reach. The town sits just off the A1(M) at junction 10, with Baldock railway station on the Great Northern line into London King’s Cross, so relatives visiting from Letchworth, Hitchin, Stevenage, Royston, Cambridge or London can visit often, and visiting often is what makes the difference.
And for the home itself, being rooted in one small town for over 35 years means something practical: our staff are local, our reputation is local, and the same families recommend us to their neighbours. That accountability is hard to replicate, and it is one of the quiet reasons families choose a family-run care home in Baldock over a larger group facility elsewhere in Hertfordshire.
