About Park View Residential Home

Park View Residential Home brings together a small, close-knit community in the county of Hertfordshire, offering residential care in a setting where staff can focus on getting to know each resident personally. Hertfordshire itself is a welcoming part of the country, with plenty of green spaces and local amenities that can enrich everyday life. Families looking into care options here will find a home that aims to provide a familiar, homely atmosphere for the people who live there.

Park View Residential Home accommodates up to five people with mental health and learning disability support needs. During inspection, four residents were living at the home.

The service was found to fall short in supporting residents' choice and control over their lives. Staff did not consistently support residents in the least restrictive way possible, and the home's policies and systems did not adequately promote this practice. Inspectors identified concerns about whether the service was meeting fundamental standards for dignity, independence, and community access for autistic people and those with learning disabilities.
