CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Montrose Care Home is one of 246 care homes in Hertfordshire: a 50-bed residential care home in Watford, run by B & M Hemel LLP. It is registered to care for older people and people with dementia. That is larger than most homes in Hertfordshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
About 0.5 km away, Tremona Care Home is rated Outstanding. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in July 2026. 92% of homes in Hertfordshire also score 5. 121 other homes in Hertfordshire share its tier, “Good”.
In December 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in June 2018, it was rated Inadequate. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Hertfordshire, 53% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
