Why open a care home in Chorleywood and when did you come here?
Rebuilt and opened in September 2022, Burford House was rebuilt then and is carefully designed to promote independence and choice within a warm, welcoming family community. It offers the ultimate in luxury living alongside exceptional residential and nursing care in the heart of Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. Having operated the previous service provision at the same site since 2004, Westgate Healthcare Group LTD, a family-owned and run care group, identified the need to modernise and provide specialist purpose-built facilities within the local community.
