My dad was here only for 1 week for end of life care. The staff were amazing at a very difficult time. They not only looked after my dad but cared for myself and family when we were hereThe care home was like a hotel for the residents, great rooms and facilities , would highly recommend. Thank you
My father has transitioned smoothly to Knebworth Care Home the staff have reassured and supported my father to feel safe. My family feel confident in the care that is being provided and feel we are working as a team to ensure my father feels safe and comfortable. My only suggestions would be more varied options for the afternoon tea. Thank you to Knebworth Care Home team.
I am very impressed with knowledge of the staff at Knebworth, and the high quality care they deliver. They are kind and caring in their approach to residents while always putting their safety and well being first.
Our team works hard to deliver the highest standard of care, so your kind acknowledgement means a great deal to us. Thank you for taking the time to share your review.
Since arriving here in November 2024, I have experienced nothing but kindness. My "voice" is always heard, and responses and resolutions are always swift. I can be very demanding, but I'm always met with a smile. The staff are amazing. I feel very privileged that a vacancy became available for me at the time I needed it.
The staff are all very friendly and professional. I am confident my mum is being well looked after in a safe place, which is a relief to me and my family, most of which live abroad.
Thank you
Whilst my husband was not able to fully benefit from the beautiful surroundings and wide choice of activities Knebworth Care Home had to offer in the short time he was there, we cannot fault the high standard of care and compassion that was shown to him and, indeed, to us as well. Nothing was too much trouble and our interactions with all the staff were supportive, friendly and highly professional. We would recommend Knebworth Care Home unreservedly.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review about you experience with Knebworth care home, we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. It's our pleasure to have been able to take care of your husband.
This establishment and staff demonstrate everything that care should be. Lovely, well adapted, modern, purpose built surroundings with super caring staff. My family and my father were treated with professionalism, empathy and understanding at a very difficult time. The staff really care and listen, and residents are treated with the utmost dignity and respect. The coffee shop is a wonderful addition. We were always greeted with a smile, and nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us such a positive review about your experience with Knebworth care home, we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. It's our pleasure to have been able to take care of your father.
Whenever I have left Knebworth Care Home after visiting my mother I have always been impressed. My mother is treated like family - with kindness, respect and love. I am constantly touched by the efforts of all the staff to created a wonderful atmosphere for all residents. To be able to trust all the staff to provide wonderful care is truly admirable.
The home is very clean and a nice place to be.
The care staff have taken the time to get to know my Nan and understand her needs.
The staff are brilliant and we can have confidence in knowing that my Nan is truly being cared for.
I came to visit my friend who is 104 years old and lived here for 5 1/2 years. I had lunch with her and everyone was extremely kind and helpful.
My husband is a full-time resident with dementia. I have been pleased that there are many activities. He is cared for with kindness. Always looking smart plus he enjoys his meals.
Thank you for your review, we are most pleased that you have been satisfied with the care and facilities available at the home.
My aunt came as a respite user and we have been have been very pleased with everything at Knebworth from the time she initially joined, to her movement to become a permanent resident. The care and support offered by the staff has been tremendous, particularly as she has had to attend a number of external medical appointments. I cannot thank the staff enough for the easy transition and the support we have been given.
My friend has been a resident for a few months now, staff are very helpful and kind, they helped with birthday party and made a great fuss.
My mother has been living at Knebworth Care Home for 6 months and it has been such an amazing experience. Such a happy, friendly atmosphere - visiting is a pleasure and the staff always make time to talk to the families. Such a comfort to know Mum is in such caring hands.
What a gem! A care home that actually cares. My father-in-law has been in Knebworth Care Home for six weeks and we are so pleased with the care he has received. Management and staff are helpful and deal with any queries immediately.
What a happy, friendly environment. Staff fantastic, helpful and supportive. We would like to thank the lifestyle coordinator and two other staff members in particular for their kindness and support during my wife's stay. One piece of advice that would have been helpful is about medication, it must be bought in in its prescribed box. Cannot fault people, service, food and environment.
I have recently moved to Knebworth Care Home from my apartment where I was living alone with support from my family since my husband passed away. All I can say that the whole experience at Knebworth Care Home has been perfect for me. The staff are wonderful, my room is lovely. I feel the care I am getting is absolutely excellent.
My mother moved in in September so she has been there for six months. She is very happy, I'm pleased to say. She loves the staff, has made friends with other residents and is joining in some of the activities, especially those that involve going out. Her room is home-from-home, and she was able to surround herself with her belongings and photos. We are so happy and relieved she is there!

Meet the Team (1)

Hi, I’m Claudiu. I qualified as a General Nurse in 2015 in my home country of Romania. Before joining Care UK, I worked as a Deputy Manager in a 78-bed nursing home. I was impressed by Care UK’s structure and its values, which closely align with my own.
I believe a Home Manager should be reliable, proactive, supportive and a good listener. My favourite part of the day is seeing the difference our team makes to residents’ lives and knowing that we are making a positive impact every day.
One of my biggest career highlights was commissioning and registering a new care home with the CQC. I’m proudest when I see residents happy, safe and feeling part of our big family, as well as seeing team members develop and succeed.
The most important part of my role is ensuring residents are always treated with dignity and respect, while making sure team members feel listened to and supported to make a real difference to residents’ lives.
Outside of work, I enjoy football, travelling and spending time with my family.
