Welcome to Forest Care Village Care Centre in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. The modern facility offers 24-hour nursing care for adults with life-long physical conditions, particularly those with Acquired Brain Injuries and neurological conditions and24 hour nursing care for those aged 65 and over.
The home is blessed with a dedicated team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment. They work in partnership with visiting therapists to offer short and long-term placements, palliative, respite and post-operative care.
The purpose-built facility comprises 178 bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities; a large physiotherapy suite; music and sensory facilities and courtyard sensory gardens. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home.
While the home's bedrooms provide a tranquil area to rest and relax, the modern communal lounges offer residents the opportunity to catch up with friends over a pot of tea, enjoy one of the guest entertainers or simply recline in front of their favourite film.
At Forest Care Village, they encourage residents to take part in a range of engaging activities based on their lifestyle needs and preferences. Many of their activities take place within the home environment and include art workshops, handicrafts, garden parties, and barbecues. They empower individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a salon blow-dry and manicure or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. All are encouraged and available. Fore Care Village's residents enjoy the wider community with a thriving high street, independent shops and local park all within a short distance.

Staff and care workers "pull together" to make my life more comfortable. Sense of humour would be the only qualification required to find my slot.

I came to this care home with about two hours notice. I arrived just before lunchtime and had a very pleasant, helpful welcome. Luch was sorted for me very quickly and was very enjoyable, as all the meals have been since then. The six weeks I have been here, have been very pleasant; staff understanding and helpful, and every request has been attended to as quickly as possible with a smile. Very important.

My Dad was a resident of FCV for 13 years until his passing in Feb 2021. I found that his care was at the optimum. During his residence and his home, he was treated with dignity and respect. His nursing needs were always met. His social and mental needs were provided for in regular stimulating activities and engagement with a dedicated and caring staff. Several staff members were involved with my Dad for a long period of time possibly greater than 10 years. I did not observe a high turnover of care staff which I can surmise was due to the staff enjoying their jobs and feeling valued. Dad's neurological condition would occasionally manifest itself in frustration and verbal outbursts. The staff were compassionate and well trained in dealing with this and his specialist needs. I was regularly informed of my Dad health. I was involved in his care planning, meeting with senior staff and social workers. His key workers were always available to talk about Dad's care.

I have had a very pleasant experience being here and have felt very safe. The carers and staff, in general, have been helpful as my needs have deteriorated. I would be happy to return here again after my next hip operation whenever that happens.

Forset Care Village is a very caring home. The staff are friendly and professional. They have looked after my daughter very well; she enjoys all the social activities the lifestyle team lay on, especially the visiting singer and the choir. The home is well decorated and clean, but it's greatest assets are the people who work there.

The care and compassion they show, makes me feel that I am so glad that I am here, I consider them all my friends. What the manager has done by keeping us all safe while we are under lockdown because of the virus that they have everywhere, but because of our amazing manager and staff, we have all been kept safe.

It was great to see all the people involved in the home, came in risking their well being to care for us. I got sick and became very difficult to look after, but it was wonderful how the nurses and carers did their best to look after me. The lifestyle team also looked in on me, helping me to stay in touch with the family through Skype. Thanks to everyone.
