This popular Residential Care Home just to the North of Hoddesdon is operated by Quantum Care on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council. When HCC first decided to externalise the care of the elderly in the county some 18 years ago the directors of Hester Architects worked closely with Quantum and HCC to develop a masterplan for a new home which at the time was quite revolutionary. The concept of building 15 bedroomed group living wings was new to the UK and was so efficient in plan and to operate that we ended up designing a dozen or so 60 bed homes around the County.
