Snowdrop House is a brand new purpose-built care home in Ware, Hertfordshire. As well as providing permanent residential and nursing care for the elderly we are also able to offer respite and convalescent care. Our care staff are trained in both dementia and end of life care.

At Snowdrop House we place emphasis on ensuring resident's care needs are being met in luxury and comfort. Our catering team provide a variety of delicious home-cooked food every day, ensuring that the dietary needs of all residents are catered for.

We appreciate that making the decision to move into a care home is difficult for all parties involved. Our Home Manager would be delighted to talk through any of your concerns and will always be on hand to offer advice and reassurance. Please do get in touch to organise visiting us.

From the manager

“I have been working in the care sector for 20 years qualifying in Cambridge and specialising in respiratory and end of life care. In my career so far I have undertaken a wide variety of roles all over the country including care case manager for the East of England. I have also worked for the prison service, a wide range of hospitals and care homes, and people with challenging behaviour. I started work with Care UK in September 2014 and I believe to be an effective team member you need to have a positive attitude, be caring, respectful and approachable, and have a good sense of humour! My favourite part of the working day is motivating the staff to ensure the residents are their main focus of the day, creating memorable moments, laughter and joy. My biggest professional challenge so far has been saving a person's life and then continue to watch them grow and flourish. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, spa days and have a huge interest in guide dogs and caring for animals.”
