River Court Care Home is a nursing home in Watford, run by HC-One No.2 Limited (part of Welltower). It is registered for up to 120 residents and supports older people, people living with dementia and younger adults.

CQC rated it Requires improvement overall in March 2020. It was rated Good for safe, caring and well-led. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. Across Hertfordshire, 77% of the 216 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 6 years old. CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
