Finding the right care home in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire is one of the most sought-after counties in England for residential and dementia care. Families searching for care in Herts are usually balancing three things: quality of care, weekly cost, and how easy it is to visit regularly from towns such as Baldock, Letchworth Garden City, Hitchin, Stevenage and Royston.
Burleigh House is a small, family-run care home in Baldock, North Hertfordshire, providing residential care, specialist dementia care and respite care since 1989, at one of the most competitive weekly fees in the county.

Choosing a care home in Herts: what to look for
Care home fees in Hertfordshire typically range from around £1,400 to over £2,000 per week, and price does not always reflect quality. When comparing care homes in Hertfordshire, we encourage families to look beyond the brochure: read the CQC report, check independent reviews on carehome.co.uk, ask about staff turnover, and visit in person more than once.
Ask each home what the weekly fee actually includes. At Burleigh House, personal care, accommodation, all meals, laundry, housekeeping and a seven-day activities programme are included in the standard fee, and we publish our pricing openly, which remains rare among care homes in Hertfordshire.
Finally, consider the setting. A smaller residential care home in a familiar market town like Baldock can feel far more like home than a large, corporate facility, especially for residents living with dementia, for whom familiarity, routine and consistent faces genuinely matter.
