Brief description

Homeoaks is a purpose built bungalow providing care for seven adults with learning and physical disabilities. The home, which is owned by Hertfordshire County Council, is run by Watford and District Mencap and was opened in 1995 to accommodate a group of service users who had previously lived in a long stay hospital. All the bedrooms are single, and none have en-suite facilities.

The home is situated at the end of a cul-de-sac adjacent to a well established housing estate on one side and fields on the other. It is surrounded by good sized gardens and has ample parking space at the front. Carpenters Park railway station and shops are close by and the local bus service gives easy access to Watford town centre.

The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide provide information about the home for referring professionals and prospective clients.

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