Objectives

We offer supported housing to the elderly who finding living in their own home too difficult, because managing a household has become too much and/or or they just want company and support. We provide a home from home at a cost everyone can afford. We have three very different and delightful houses situated in Hemel Hempstead and Potten End near Berkhamsted. The houses are close to their local community which helps our residents stay involved and pursue their individual interests. We offer a choice of accommodation, two home cooked meals a day, everyday support and friendship, activities, pretty gardens and attractive communal areas. We can do this because we are strongly supported by volunteers and trustees who share a passion for helping the elderly when they need us. 

Activities

We have a Board of Trustees who freely offer their skills and provide the strategic and operational support to our core of valued staff in each of our houses as well as individual volunteers who help enrich our residents' lives. Our responsibilities are to ensure our residents' independence, happiness and safety, supported by a motivated team of staff and volunteers whilst ensuring our commercial viability.
