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. ?
The home changed owner in November 2023. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Stagenhoe Park is a 50-bed nursing home in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, run by The Disabilities Trust. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. That is larger than most homes in Hertfordshire, where the typical home has 30 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in January 2020. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in June 2017, was the same. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 53% of homes in Hertfordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in August 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in Hertfordshire. In Hertfordshire, 76% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The home changed owner in November 2023. 11 of The Disabilities Trust’s 13 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
