We understand that choosing suitable care and accommodation for yourself or a loved one can often be difficult, confusing and sometimes upsetting. We realise that people's perception of care for the elderly is tainted by the image of an institutional, impersonal 'care home' or 'nursing home'. Scimitar Care Hotels is different. As providers of first class elderly residential care in Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridge, Enfield and London, we opened our first residential care hotel for the elderly in 1973. Our goal then was to afford a standard of accommodation and level of service to match the expectations of the most discerning resident. Over forty years later our reputation for care and quality is second to none. Our establishments cater for and provide personalised care for the elderly, supporting those both with and without Dementia. We specialise in offering respite care which is available throughout the year, allowing you to book up to one year in advance of the actual stay. This can allow you a short break of your own, or ensure that your loved one's needs are being met whilst you are away.
