The new extension is a partnership project between Hertfordshire County Council who own the building and Quantum Care who operate the care services. The new extension has been specially commissioned to enable older people to live as independently as possible, with support on hand when it’s necessary. The 20 bed extension comprises luxury en-suite bedrooms and associated living spaces. Each area has been designed to be contemporary, welcoming and of the highest standard. Quantum Care is extremely proud of this initiative which will provide much needed accommodation for older people in the St Albans and surrounding areas.
