Review from Ali B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum was only in Knebworth Care Home for four and a half weeks before she sadly died earlier this week at the age of 90. She arrived directly from hospital and from the moment she arrived we all felt a sense of relief - Mum included I think even though she was disappointed to not be at home. Everyone was so welcoming and eager to make Mum comfortable. I know it wasn't easy for the staff with Mum's neck injury but they went out of their way to settle her and find comfortable positions. We all felt comfortable leaving her in their care when we left after each visit. I did have to double park a couple of times but the signing-in book with reg number worked and if I did double park I always let the receptionist know it was me so they knew who to go to without wasting time. Mum didn't eat so can't rate. Thank you so much everyone. Your kindness will always be remembered by me, my Dad and the family during this upsetting time. I would highly recommend KCH if you want your loved ones to be cared for in a friendly caring environment.

Review from Chris D (Friend of Resident) published on 16 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

A friend of mine has been resident at Knebworth Care Home for a while now. It's not an easy time for my friend but the staff have made the experience second to none. The staff, facilities and food are excellent. The residents are cared for with such empathy that fosters a level of dignity that is insurmountable in my opinion. I hope if I ever need similar services I'll be provided with those anywhere close to as good as I've observed at Knebworth.

Review from Louise A (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Dad is very well looked after, NHS referrals for an occupational therapist and speech and language - still waiting six weeks after admittance. The staff are chasing this. Kind staff, not good experience at the hospital so a relief - no one shouts and shoves him! Can't really comment on activities as Dad is currently not allowed out of bed to experience any. The food is currently puree so he isn't keen - having loved food before, again this is down to NHS referral, not the staff.

Review from H K (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Overall really pleased with the support and care Mum gets. She often complains that meals are too spicy, but when we visit she usually manages to eat everything!
The work staff are wonderful and keep informed with any ongoing issues etc. and ask for our input.

Mum is hoisted and spends a lot of time in bed (her choice). I have to say that she has never had a bedsore and that is a testament to their nursing procedures and skin care regimes. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, but they need more staff.

Visiting Knebworth care home is always a pleasant experience. The home is always clean and the staff are welcoming and ready to chat with us. Dad is always clean and his room is tidy and does not have any bad odours. I feel confident that Dad is being well cared for.

Overall excellent care and support. Our mother is treated well by the staff and interacts with them when she is able. Our only issue would be the ability to find a parking space.

Review from F A (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum has been in Knebworth since the end of March 2023 after suffering a severe stroke in December 2022. The entire team at Knebworth, from the person that opens the door for you, the customer care team, the cleaning and kitchen staff and the carers and the nurses, go above and beyond on a daily basis. They do care. They are incredibly kind and treat Mum with the greatest of care, respect and dignity, which is so important for her. Mum can't talk and the team take time with her to understand what she needs. With all the hard work, Mum is now getting out of bed for a few hours a day and the change of scenery has made a massive difference to her. We cannot thank and praise the team highly enough. It's never easy to be in this situation, but I know Mum is in the best place and being so well looked after.

Overall Experience

I have always found the staff pleasant, polite and very helpful. They always say "hello" to me and my mum when we are passing them, going out or coming back from a visit outside. The room is clean and tidy, and Mum seems very happy and comfortable within. The communal space is welcoming and often has a film or music playing, which makes for a nice environment.

Excellent service when we needed urgent respite for my mum. She is now a permanent resident being looked after by the dementia team and we are extremely pleased. The staff are wonderful and always make us feel welcome, as a family, and the care my mum receives is outstanding. Mum is very happy and loves the interaction from the staff and other residents.

Review from Margaret B (Wife of Resident) published on 12 August 2023 Submitted via Website

My husband came to Knebworth care home for respite in March. He became a permanent resident following respite.
The staff/carers go over and beyond what you would expect. They are kind and caring and knowledgeable in all aspects of dementia on the Willow floor.
He is happy there and I feel very welcome when I visit him.

I highly recommend the Willow floor for dementia care.

Review from Julie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has been in Knebworth coming up for 3 years in the Dementia ward.
I was dreading her going into a home but the transition has been wonderful.
The home is clean and the decor is bright and cheery.
The ladies and gents that work there couldn’t be better, they are always so happy and smiley even when the job gets hard, and always think about getting Mum ready and making sure her clothes match and do her hair and makeup.

The activities team are lovely and has some great things going on.

I would like to thank all the staff, management and nursing staff for caring for my father in the final two weeks of his life.
My dad has complex needs after breaking his hip and was very stressed and unhappy after bing in 3 different hospitals.

Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and Dad was treated with the utmost respect. The support, we as a family, had was professional and very helpful during this difficult time.

Overall Experience

My husband came in for respite in March last year. He loved it so much, he wanted to stay. He is treated with dignity which is very important to us both. He knows I can no longer cope with him at home. All staff are excellent, he is no longer in the pain he was suffering when taken in. Agency staff need checking but that is the same everywhere. Management were very supportive and made a very difficult time so much easier.

Review from Christine H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

In the past few weeks, my mother has had her hair set, listened to gong music, attended a dementia cafe and been to a garden centre - all arranged by Knebworth care home. The staff work hard, especially if they are able to work in conjunction with the resident's family. Vulnerable residents with complex care needs require the management, nurses, care staff, chef, laundry, activities, reception and family to work together! The Knebworth team are excellent and I recommend them.

My mother came to Knebworth care home on respite for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday. The care home were extremely professional from my first enquiry and organising my mother's admittance. Mum settled in quickly and seems to have been happy during her stay. I would be very happy for Mum to spend respite at the home again or to become a permanent resident should she want to.

I have up dates from a friend who visited Mum during her stay who confirmed that Mum was happy and content during her stay.

Claudiu Lucean
Claudiu LuceanJob Title Home Manager

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.
