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. ?
Quantum Care Limited runs Vesta Lodge, a residential care home in St Albans, Hertfordshire with room for 61 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. The typical home in Hertfordshire has 30 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is one of 23 homes run by Quantum Care Limited. 14 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. The nearest home with a higher rating is Fonthill House (Outstanding), 1.1 km away. 121 other homes in Hertfordshire share its tier, “Good”. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in February 2026. 92% of homes in Hertfordshire also score 5.
Its CQC rating, from September 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2017, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 53% of ratings in Hertfordshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
