Local knowledge across Stevenage

Stevenage holds a special place in the country's history as the first town to be designated under the New Towns Act in 1946, its planned neighbourhoods laid out around the pedestrianised town centre and its landmark clock tower in the Town Square. Today its communities range from the historic Old Town in the north to the post war neighbourhoods of Bedwell, Broadwater, Shephall, Chells, Pin Green, Symonds Green, Martins Wood and Roebuck. Care needs vary just as much across the town, from the older streets and cul de sacs off the High Street to the busier estates near the railway line, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. Most homes here sit within the SG1 and SG2 postcode areas, and our coordinators know the town well enough to plan visits that actually work around traffic and parking.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at the Lister Hospital off Coreys Mill Lane, the main district general hospital for the town and run by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the town is overseen by Hertfordshire County Council, working alongside the district level Stevenage Borough Council. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the county council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Home care in England is regulated by the Care Quality Commission, or CQC, which sets the standards providers are expected to meet. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
