Trembaths care home in Letchworth
The word ‘pioneer’ probably isn’t something you’d associate with a quiet care home in Letchworth, but that’s precisely the way we’d describe MHA’s Trembaths.
When we opened our doors in 1989, Trembaths was the first nursing home in the whole of MHA. In the UK’s first ever garden city. The solar panels spanning our building were something of a ‘first’ too, meaning we’ve been helping to set trends for 25-years.
But the first thing you’ll notice when you arrive at the Letchworth care home isn’t the pioneering spirit. It’s the feeling of warmth. The sense that you’re surrounded by people that care. That you’re at home. And that you’re welcome to live the life you choose, without a moment of hesitation.
Our local community
Located on a quiet road in the heart of an established community on the outskirts of Letchworth, Trembaths care home offers an ideal location for residents and their guests.
The Three Horseshoes is our friendly local pub, Bickerdikes Garden Centre and its superb café are just a short distance away, there’s a shop five minutes from our home. But the open countryside is in equally easy reach, with access to the Green Way within a few minutes’ walk from the home.
The gardens surrounding Trembaths would be more suited to a country estate than an urban care home. The mature outdoor spaces encircle every side of the home, ensuring every single window opens to an enviable view.
Food and nutrition
Creamy. Rich. Seasoned. And just the right balance of sweetness. The home-made rice pudding so loved by our residents might be a closely guarded recipe, but at least our chefs are always more than generous with their portions.
It’s not just the ‘traditional’ deserts that will make you feel spoiled for choice at Trembaths care home though. With a chef whose background is from a famed local bakery, we’re the happy tasters for all manner of incredible cakes, biscuits and shortbreads. Often appearing - and then vanishing - within a shamefully short time.
Our menu itself changes with the ideas and suggestions of residents, with Trembath’s two head chefs joining regular food forums to ensure we’re always eager to improve mealtimes, in any way possible.
Dementia care at Trembaths
It can be hard to imagine that life with dementia can continue to be a life well-lived; one that’s comfortable, enriching and loving. But with specialist support, in the right surroundings, dementia should never take away a person’s individuality, their dignity, or their ability to connect with the people they love the most.
We hope there’s reassurance in knowing the specialist dementia care you’ll find at Trembaths care home in Letchworth embraces MHA’s industry-leading principles. It’s made possible by highly trained, devoted teams. By pioneering techniques and technology. And a deep compassion and respect for every person and each of their loved ones.
