Are you planning to build a private care home in Hertfordshire? At Care Home Builders, we specialise in constructing high-quality, fully compliant care homes that are designed around the needs of residents and the realities of care delivery. With hands-on experience in delivering both residential and specialist dementia care facilities, we work with operators, investors, and developers to turn visions into fully operational homes, built to last and ready to care.
We’re not general contractors. We’re specialists in care home construction. That means every decision from spatial layouts to fire compartmentation is made with resident safety, staff workflow, and CQC compliance in mind.
Our Hertfordshire Care Home Projects Include:
Luxury private care homes with en-suite bedrooms, garden rooms, therapy suites, and elegant dining spaces
Specialist dementia units are designed with clear sightlines, soothing finishes, and secure outdoor access
Nursing care facilities with integrated nurse call systems, sluice rooms, and step-free access throughout
Whether you’re developing in Watford, Harpenden, or Hitchin, we deliver future-proofed, energy-efficient care homes that support high standards of living and quality of care.
Our team comprises structural engineers, healthcare architects, M&E specialists, and project managers who understand the intricate details that go into delivering an operational care home, not just a building.
We also help clients:
Navigate planning permission and care sector compliance
Meet local authority design and accessibility standards
Deliver projects on time and budget without compromise
You’re not just building a property. You’re shaping someone’s final home. We never forget that.
Over the years, we’ve worked with both independent operators and national care groups across Hertfordshire. From new builds in St Albans to purpose-built dementia wings in Hemel Hempstead, we’ve seen how good design can change lives. Our role isn’t just to build, it’s to listen, advise, and create homes that genuinely work for the people who live and care within them.
Whether you're starting with a bare plot or a complete set of plans, we’ll guide you through the process, from initial groundwork to final handover.
Many care homes in Hertfordshire are adapting to meet the changing regulations and the needs of their residents. If your facility needs refreshing or rethinking, we can help.
We carry out full and partial refurbishments across the region, from updating communal areas and en-suite rooms to making compliance-led improvements without losing the homely feel. We’re accustomed to working in live environments and always strive to minimise disruptions.
We’ve built care environments across Hertfordshire for people with a range of complex needs, including autism, physical disabilities, and memory care. Every project starts with understanding how residents move, feel, and interact with their space.
From sensory rooms in Stevenage to accessible garden spaces in Watford, we design with dignity, comfort, and safety in mind, not just bricks and mortar.
If you’re looking to expand, whether it’s to add more bedrooms, create therapy spaces, or future-proof your offering, we can deliver practical, well-integrated extensions that respect the character of your existing building.
We’ve carried out small-and medium-sized extensions in places like Hitchin, Bishop’s Stortford, and Welwyn Garden City often under tight timelines and operational constraints. Our team understands that every square metre counts.
