Care With Local Knowledge in Radlett and Shenley
Local knowledge matters in the practical moments: planned treatment usually means St Albans City Hospital, A&E means Watford General, and we plan with honest travel times between Radlett and Shenley rather than optimistic ones.
It also means knowing the places that lift a week: coffee at Battlers Green Farm, a show at the Radlett Centre, fresh air at Phillimore Recreation Ground or Aldenham Country Park, and the walled garden at Shenley Park on an open afternoon. Familiar places, gently woven into care.
We also support families in the surrounding villages, including Aldenham and Letchmore Heath.

Part of the Radlett and Shenley community, not just working in it
Starling Homecare is a family run homecare provider, and tackling loneliness and isolation among older people is part of how we work in Radlett and Shenley and across Hertfordshire. We help people find reasons to get out, we support local events, we give talks to community groups and we give out safety whistles so people feel more confident going out on their own.
Why loneliness matters to us
Loneliness can build quietly, especially for someone who lives alone or no longer has regular contact with other people. The NHS notes that older people in that position are particularly at risk, and that joining local groups, classes and community activities, and having things to look forward to, can help (NHS: loneliness in older people). Good care at home is not only about the help indoors. It is also about helping someone keep a reason to put their coat on, see familiar faces and stay part of the community they know.
What's on for older people in Radlett and Shenley
We keep a checked guide to the groups and activities already running in Radlett and Shenley, including the Radlett Lunch Club, the Phillimore Community Café, Knit and Natter in Shenley and the Shenley village walks. Each listing shows the day, the venue, what it costs and who to contact, and we confirm the details with the organisers. It is free to use. If getting there is the hard part, a live-in carer can go with someone to a group and bring them home. For a longer read on what runs locally and how to help a parent go for the first time, see our family guide to activities for older people in Radlett and Shenley.

What we have done locally
Dementia-friendly cinema. We have supported dementia-friendly screenings at The Odyssey in St Albans, which the St Albans Times featured, and brought local residents together for a relaxed morning screening of Calamity Jane, full of familiar songs and memories. Read about the morning at The Odyssey, or about our dementia support in Radlett and Shenley.
Talks for community groups. We organise and give talks to local groups, such as our afternoon at Fleetville Community Centre with a physiotherapist on staying active and preventing falls. Read about the Fleetville talk. If you run a group in Radlett and Shenley and would like us to come and talk, email community@starlinghomecare.co.uk.
Safety whistles. A fall when no one is nearby is a real worry, and a whistle carries much further than a voice. In 2026 we have pledged to give out 5,000 safety whistles across Hertfordshire, so more older people feel safer and more confident going out. Read about the safety whistle campaign.
If you are helping a parent or relative in Radlett and Shenley and are not sure where to start, call us on 01923 988 550. We will talk it through with you, whether the answer turns out to be care at home or a coffee morning down the road.
