Brief description

Croxley House is a detached two-storey red brick Georgian dwelling house built about 1770 with several later additions. It has been extensively refurbished and converted for the residential care of older people. The home provides for up to 31 service users in single rooms, all of which have en-suite facilities.

There are three rooms that are available for couples to share but only on a positive basis and with the maximum overall occupancy of 33 service users. One room is below the recommended minimum size standard and is used only by agreement for short stay respite care. The home has two main lounges and a separate dining room.

The kitchen is completely stainless steel equipped with freezer and refrigerated food storage. The home's laundry is equipped to handle all the requirements of the home. Croxley House has its own access driveway across the green and stands in immaculately maintained grounds with beautiful views across the green and surrounding woodland and farm countryside.

There is a working greenhouse and summerhouse at the rear of the home and the pathway around the garden has a single handrail for support. The garden houses an aviary and there is a fish tank, budgies and cats within the home. Whilst the home occupies a rural setting, it is but a few minutes drive from the towns of Watford and Rickmansworth.

The home has a service user's guide and statement of purpose that are provided to prospective service users. Copies of these and the latest report on the home from the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) are available in the home.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
