Symonds House

We all know there’s no place like home

That’s why each Leonard Cheshire home is unique, and provides the support that’s right for the people who live there. Personalised support helps to make sure everyone can live as independently as they choose.

Symonds House, in the market town of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, is home for 20 adults with physical disabilities. Surrounded by wonderful views of the local countryside, our home is close to shops, pubs and cafes. And there are good train connections to London, Stevenage, Peterborough, and Cambridge.

Is this the place for you?

This is a safe and friendly place to live, with high quality care and nursing. The team is dedicated and experienced, and will make sure your needs are understood and met – all with the greatest privacy and respect. We also offer physiotherapy and have a tranquility room for you to relax in.

The people you’ll meet, the things you’ll do…

Live here and you’ll be supported to be independent, healthy and active. There’s something for everyone and our great team of staff and volunteers run individual and group activities, including karaoke and gardening. So whatever your interests, from keeping fit to being creative, there’s always something to get involved in.

…will take you to where you want to go

Whatever your short- or long-term aims, we’re here to support you and make sure your journey is as fun and successful as possible.
