The care and attention that was given to my mother was second to none. The staff were amazing, kind, caring and attentive at all times.
Food was delicious and my mum talks about her time in a 5 star hotel.

I found Knebworth care home to have a warm, friendly atmosphere. The home is well equipped with very caring staff who are friendly, helpful and attentive. The staff regularly enquire about my welfare, which I find very touching.


Day and night, the service is of the same high care.

My mother came to Knebworth Care Home after having become seriously unwell.
She had previously been in hospital and now required continuing care.
My family had been increasingly concerned and when my mother was admitted into the home we had a huge sense of relief.
All the staff have gone above and
beyond to assist.

Extremely pleased with the home. The way my father has been looked after and cared for has definitely improved his quality of life and I am sure contributed to him surviving well past the time he was predicted to live. It's nice to know others care and we can rely on his happiness with you. Taking a
lot of our worries.

My mother has been a resident here for almost 5 years and has been treated with great care and love. All the staff from the cleaners, receptionist, bursar, care staff and managers have given my mother the lust for life at each stage of her life in the home and now at end of life she is well cared for
and with such respect.

Myself and my partner visited his father today and we were overwhelmed by the standards of care and cleanliness that is provided.


You made us very welcome and as we are unable to visit regularly it's reassuring to know our relative is so well cared for.


Thank you!

Do not like when the lounge patio door would be kept open all the time, especially when there is pollen in the air due to my health problem.
Otherwise, I am happy overall and I will recommend the home to other people.

I have a 94-year-old mother who has been in the care home for 2 years. In all that time Mum has been so carefully looked after. She is given respect and the love she needs. It is a great comfort.

Since Care UK have come on board, there has been a dramatic improvement in every aspect. Signage, door entry more disciplined. Having a receptionist to answer the phone and check people in, with a welcoming smile. Activity ladies - brilliant. Change of dinner time much better. Food good. Staff - everyone
- helpful and kind.


Cons:- weekends, not many people around.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Knebworth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.713 for Knebworth is calculated as follows: ( (269 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.713

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Knebworth is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I joined Care UK in 2022 as a Deputy Manager after hearing amazing feedback from the public.


Being promoted to Home Manager in 2023 was a huge moment in my career. I’m a Registered Nurse and have achieved my level 5 in Management in Health and Social Care training.


As a Home Manager, it’s important to be professional, compassionate, hardworking and a team player. I love getting to the end of my shift when I can reflect on the day and all the tasks I accomplished. Working alongside amazing team members who are dedicated to delivering outstanding care to residents every day inspires me.


When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family.
