Nestled in the gorgeous town of Harpenden with a direct rail connection to Central London, Lea Grange Care Home is situated on Coldharbour Lane, just a five minute drive away from the town’s centre. Harpenden and its surrounding areas include notable sites such as St. Alban’s Cathedral and Batford Springs Nature Reserve.
This delightful location straddles two superb valleys and is home to one of the oldest agricultural research institutions in the world. With plenty to do, Harpenden is a bustling mix of independent and high street shops and restaurants, with the nearby districts of Batford, Southdown and Luton Road providing plenty of extra sites to explore.
Lea Grange Care Home offers 24-hour residential, nursing, dementia and respite care within an environment purpose-built for the practical delivery of high-quality care whilst still being stylish, comfortable and incorporating many thoughtful features that are always tailored towards the satisfaction and safety of our residents.
Experienced and empathetic care comes as standard at every Porthaven care home, and at Lea Grange our team of hand-selected individuals are available to support not only the physical needs of our residents but their emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs too. We place a particular emphasis on encouraging independence and promoting wellbeing through good nutrition, hydration and engagement.
Every resident at Lea Grange Care Home benefits from a generously sized bedroom with an en suite wetroom, as well as numerous communal living areas for socialising with loved ones, engaging in their hobbies and dining. Our residents will also have access to our state-of-the-art gym, cinema, café and hair and nail salon. A dedicated activities and wellbeing room and a private dining room for special family occasions completes the array of first-class facilities on offer at Lea Grange.
