Purpose built in 1993, St Josephs is found in the idyllic country town of Tring in Hertfordshire, providing care for those needs that arise from both old age and dementia.
An already established care home, St Josephs was one of the original care homes to identify the need for specialised, specific environments, built to cater for the needs of residents experiencing a dementia. It was with this in mind that the purpose built, single storey, courtyard style area was created.
The specialist dementia environment at St Josephs has been awarded dementia accreditation from Hertfordshire County Council for the last three years.
There is a choice of single or companion en suite bedrooms, all of which may be personalised.
St Josephs offers a choice of lounges and dining areas, a private family lounge/reading room and a garden conservatory. The beautifully landscaped, private gardens at St Josephs offer a safe environment, with easy access pathways for outdoor activities.
St Josephs offers long term residential care and short stay respite breaks for older people. The home specialises in the care of older people with dementia related needs and benefits from a safe and secure dementia environment.
The home's Activities Organiser arranges a varied social calendar of meaningful, appropriate activities and entertainment, including trips to places of interest.

My mother was a resident at St Joseph's for five years, and I have been a regular volunteer for over six years. Throughout this time, I have consistently found every member of staff-regardless of role or responsibility-to be exceptionally hard-working, friendly, and professional. The recent renovations and upgrades are outstanding and clearly reflect the high value placed on the residents' comfort and wellbeing.

In the end timing and room availability didn't align for us to move our Mum to St Joseph's but I wanted to write a review in any event as our experience as a prospective family moving a loved one to St Joseph's was so positive. From the first call, we felt all the staff were supporting the whole family at this difficult time. Staff gave their time freely to talk to us and show us around. It was very clear how well they all knew the residents and that there is real strength in the depth of their professional training and experience with people living with dementia. We were touched by the amount of questions asked about Mum - they really wanted to get to know all about her. There was no hard sell or pressure for us to make a decision. We would certainly suggest to her families in our situation that they visit St Joseph's themselves.
Although we're sorry the timing and room availability didn't work out for your Mum to...
Dear Taryn,Emma
The staff of St Josephs go the extra mile to look after residents. The general standard is extremely high in both to day to day care and the entertainment laid on.

Thank you so much for your review, we really do enjoy caring for your mum.
The home has been looking after my aunt, who has severe dementia, for over 4 years. They are very caring, friendly and professional and accommodating where possible. They seem to have a core of settled staff, which makes a difference.

Thank you for your lovely review. The staff are great and most have been with us a long time.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They often go the extra mile. Trips out are particularly appreciated by my mother and I am sure that she will love to continue to participate in them. Generally, the home seems to run very smoothly.

Thank you for your review, it's much appreciated. We are so happy your mother has settled in so well.
My step-dad has been at St Josephs for 6 years now. The staff do a challenging and tiring job and do it very well. Dad has been well cared for and the staff give 100 per cent. It’s always clean, friendly and welcoming. Problems are addressed if they arise and discussed to find solutions.

My husband has been in St Joseph’s for more than a year now and I have been quite happy with his care. He has Alzheimer’s dementia and can be a bit difficult at times but he has been treated with the utmost care and respect. I am most appreciative of the care and attention he is given. He and all the residents always look very clean and well cared for and I know this is not always easy.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it's a pleasure to care for your husband.
All the team are kind, helpful, friendly and cheerful as well as being effective and professional, especially with manual handling. It really does feel like the family at St Josephs is looking after my family!

I always said I would never see my mother in a care home but St Josephs goes above and beyond. My mother is so happy there.

My aunt has been at St Josephs for five years now and has been very happy. All of the staff are friendly and approachable and have coped brilliantly during the last two years of Covid restrictions and related difficulties. The atmosphere is always welcoming when we visit, the premises and the gardens always well maintained. The activities programme is wide-ranging, and my aunt enjoys the quiz and bingo sessions. As she approaches her 102nd birthday, my aunt is living proof that she is well looked after at St Josephs.
We are so grateful for the care the team at St Joseph's provides, especially as we cannot be there frequently enough for our friend. They are patient and understanding, especially when faced with some really challenging behaviours. Thank you!
