Purpose built in 1994, Prince Michael of Kent Court is situated amongst landscaped gardens, close to the town centre in Watford. We provide residential care and dementia support for up to 55 residents.

We want you to feel right at home with us. Here at Prince Michael of Kent Court, you will have a spacious, fully furnished bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a specialist team to support your care needs.

Prince Michael of Kent Court can support up to 28 people in the residential area of our Home and we have six experienced carers in the morning and six in the afternoon. During the night there are three carers and all shifts are supervised by a Shift Leader.

In our Dementia Support House, we can care for up to 27 people with eight carers on duty during the day and three carers at night.

There are four day Shift leaders, working on a rota system, who oversee the daily management of the Home and one Shift Leader at night. Most of our care staff have achieved, or are working towards an NVQ/QCF in Health and Social Care.

We have a 24-hour nurse call system installed in all our residents’ rooms and each person has a personal alarm to carry, so they can call for assistance when they are around the Home or out and about.

We have three dedicated part-time Activities Coordinators who organises a variety of activities as well as trips outside of the Home, to support our residents’ health and wellbeing.

From the manager

“At the Home we have a lot of person-centred care. We do quite a bit of background work before they even come in, speaking to the families, speaking to the resident themselves, what you like, what you dislike, and the staff they get to know our residents really well. ”

— Beverley Roberts
