About Hatfield Peverel Care Home

Set in nine acres of grounds, the home offers a warm welcome to anyone in need of nursing, residential and dementia care. Short stays are also offered to help both carers and their elderly loved ones at times when they need a break or a little extra support. It could be that you're going away and you want peace of mind that you're loved one won't be on their own, or they might need to recuperate after an operation or illness. Whatever the reason, their doors are open. Advanced bookings available.

The home has a dedicated dementia-friendly house, known as Mallard, where residents are supported by dementia champions. The home's interior has been decorated to suit individuals with dementia, being colour-themed and including memory triggers.

Hatfield Peverel is a lively and welcoming care home at the heart of your local community. The dedicated care team plan a varied programme of activities and social gatherings, which you're welcome to take part in. From flower arranging, baking clubs, tea dances to regional events such as summer fetes and remembrance celebration events, there is always something going on.

Great attention is placed on the food menu to make sure it is both enjoyable and nutritious, made by an experienced chef using fresh produce, while there are snacks and drinks available throughout the day and night. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients. Soon after a resident arrives at Hatfield Peverel, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.
