About the home
Trembaths care home in Letchworth
The word pioneer probably is not something you would associate with a quiet care home in Letchworth, but that are precisely the way we would describe MHAs Trembaths.
When we opened our doors in 1989, Trembaths was the first nursing home in the whole of MHA. In the UKs first ever garden city. The solar panels spanning our building were something of a first too, meaning we have been helping to set trends for 25 years.
But the first thing You will notice when you arrive at Trembaths is not the pioneering spirit. It is the feeling of warmth. The sense that you are surrounded by people that care. That you are at home. And that you are welcome to live the life you choose, without a moment of hesitation.
