St. Christophers care home has benefitted from transformative refurbishment and upgrade programmeSt. Christophers care home in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, has benefitted from an exciting £500,000 refurbishment and upgrade resulting from a major investment programme launched by owners HC-One.

Residents of the 162-bed, friendly care home are able to enjoy sustainable, modernised and enhanced living environments - including full refurbishment of the entrance and reception area. Corridors on all units have been decorated with woodwork and appropriately placed handrails. Full redecoration of all lounges in each unit, which included new flooring, woodwork and lighting. Bathing and WC facilities have all received upgrades and isolated repairs. 

Residents, their loved ones, and St. Christopher’s care teams can come together to enjoy activities and social engagements in any of the refurbished lounges which have been developed as part of the home’s transformation.

The nursing and nursing dementia care home refurbishment forms part of HC-One’s £54.5 million refurbishment and upgrade programme. This programme will benefit 221 HC-One homes, including St. Christopher’s and forms part of HC-One’s mission to be the UK’s first choice care provider in the communities it serves. 

As the largest care home refurbishment programme in the UK, HC-One is transforming its homes for the benefit of the Residents and Colleagues who live and work in them, and for the local communities they serve. The upgrades mean that every HC-One home will be equipped to meet the needs of an ageing population with increasingly complex care needs – including dementia care needs.

The works at St. Christopher’s began in December 2021 and completed in July 2022 – no Residents were impacted by the works.

Felicity Motcho, HC-One’s Area Director said: 

“We are committed to fostering an environment that really feels like home, and décor and facilities are an important part of this. We’re really excited that the plans for St. Christopher’s Care Home has now been safely completed. We look forward to families and friends visiting the home and seeing the end result.”
