Fosse House in St. Albans is a modern building in an attractive landscaped garden, featuring a fish pond, aviary and fruit trees. Close to a small parade of shops and a supermarket, we have the facilities to cater for some 60 older people in four separate units of 15. Three of these units care for people living with dementia.

Each unit (run by a Care Team Manager and dedicated care staff) has a spacious lounge equipped with radio and TV as well as a dining room and assisted bath and shower room. All the rooms have en-suite facilities and a TV and phone socket.

Our catering staff provide nutritious meals and cater for special diets. There is always a choice of dishes, and residents are involved in designing menus where possible.

Visiting services:

• Two hairdressers visit once a week and make use of our modern salon.
• An optician visits regularly and offers appointments.

Our on-site day centre offers a full programme of activities to people from the local community and we also have an interesting programme for our residents. Every month, a C of E church service is held in the home and a Methodist lay preacher conducts occasional services too. We have regular visits from a local priest.

If you are interested in any of the services please feel free to ring the home directly. There is a Service Request form available to download in the “Families” section of this site.

If you are specifically interested in short breaks, they are booked via Adult Care Services. Please speak to your social worker or phone the call centre on 01438 737400.
