About St Peter's Home

St Peter's Home is a residential care home in Hertfordshire, providing support to people with learning disabilities and mental health needs. Details of the CQC's most recent findings are set out below.

St Peters Home accommodates up to eight people with learning disabilities and mental health needs, currently supporting six residents. The service prioritises maximising choice and control, with staff supporting people in the least restrictive way possible. Residents have considerable say over how they spend their time and what support they receive.

Policies and systems within the home are designed to enable people to live as full a life as possible, achieving outcomes centred on control, choice and independence. Staff work in ways that respect residents' autonomy while ensuring they receive the personal care they need.
