Verulam House Nursing Home is a nursing home in St. Albans, run by Welford St Albans Ltd (part of Welford Healthcare). It is registered for up to 50 residents and supports older people, younger adults and people with a physical disability.
CQC rated it Good overall in August 2019, and Good in all five key questions. 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 7 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.
