accepting this is home for him.
On a personal level, I have found the staff to be welcoming and supportive, giving good advice based on their experience of dementia care.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have our dad in your care.

we stayed with Mum to see her on her journey. They were really lovely.

Unfortunately, his stay was short but the staff kept us well informed daily and we were allowed to visit at all hours of the day and night. There was always a smile and a cup of tea to keep us going plus many biscuits. The day my dad passed away was a Saturday. Despite not being on duty, a particular member of staff made a special trip to meet us, to make the process smoother, which we appreciated greatly. Clarence House went above and beyond our expectations and we are so glad that we chose this home. On behalf of our family, we thank you for everything.

As for most relatives, the decision for a loved one to go into a care home is not an easy one to accept, however with Marchfield House they have made the experience an easier one for all of the family. Knowing how well looked after my dad is really helps the situation for all.

due to the support, skill and intervention of the staff of the home. They monitored her wellbeing closely, calling the doctors and my sister and/or I promptly whenever there was any cause for concern, prioritising her needs proactively whenever required.
My sister and I dispute the exact number of homes we viewed - it was between 20 and 30 - before alighting upon Clarence House as our choice. What characterised the home above all others immediately on arrival was the cheerfulness and laughter amongst the staff and their support for the residents. It was a choice easily made. The wisdom of our decision was reinforced as the time went by and as my mother needed additional care and attention.

and concern they have consistently shown to Mum and I will always be grateful to them. Management, nursing, auxiliary staff - all staff included.

We sadly lost both mothers, but they were both so happy to have had Clarence House as their final home.

out as being the right place.
Nearly 3 years on and we are very happy with the care provided plus the warmth of the staff. The manager and her team are great, the main lounge is excellent with plenty of activities for residents to engage in. The home have worked really hard throughout Covid and put their residents' health first throughout.
Thank you to all the team!

Keep doing what you are doing - you are all amazing!

A few weeks after she joined Clarence House, covid became a real issue and lock-down began. Throughout, I was immensely impressed with how the care home dealt with what was an extremely difficult time for all concerned. I received regular updates and knew my mother was in the best hands. I appreciated that visiting was out of the question. She transferred to the new home towards the end of June with happy memories, especially for the staff who treated her with respect and kindness at all times. Thank you to everyone at Clarence House for your help and assistance.

and at home from day one. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarence house to anyone.
