Attended a get together on 23 Rd August at Clara Court for friends and relatives. It was yet another excellent function put on by Clara Court and all who attended appeared to have a good time seeing both their loved ones and the staff. It is another case of how the manager and her team really know how
to arrange these events...I am sure that many of the staff got involved in making this a successful morning but just to mention 2 of them who are involved in several events ..
Well done to the two members of staff and any others who did the hard work
..luck and love and thanks to all.

My wife has been a resident since September 2024. Delighted how quickly she settled in with the friendly welcoming assistance of management and staff. She enjoys participating in a wide range of activities that are well tailored to her capabilities. Some issues do occur but these are discussed and addressed
by experienced staff with prompt effective remedies utilised. Good review system in place. My wife is comfortable and content.
Well done and many thanks.

My dad has recently joined the care home, we were welcomed at the door by the manager and 3 members of staff, everything was explained to us, we had a show around, its so lovely and clean. The manager and all her staff are amazing, we had so many questions, they were all answered, very professional
and families are welcome to visit at any time. The staff encourage my dad out to the other areas, he can be quite stubborn, all the staff are patient, kind and caring. He has settled so well and as a family we are happy that my dad is safe and well cared for, peace of mind for us. Thank you all so much.

Review from M G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nan joined Clara Court late last year. My family and I were very concerned for her welfare living alone, with a recent diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia, she now needed to have access to 24/7 help if needed, which my family and I was unable to provide independently.
Clara Court was highly recommended
and my family and I cannot be happier with the care and treatment provided for my nan.
Upon entering the home, we are always greeted by reception, management, all care, laundry and kitchen staff.
My nan recently had a fall and we were informed immediately and kept up to date with progress every hour, the care and treatment not only to my nan, but to all the other residents is exceptional. All the staff go above and beyond to facilitate the resident along with their loved once when visiting, even offering my 6 year old son drinks and snacks which he will kindly accept without hesitation Thank you!

My dad is very content living at Clara Court. The staff are kind and very competent.
They keep us well informed and even look after us when we visit.
They handle all his day to day needs and are quick to call in the doctor if any of his ongoing medical issues arise.
I am happy that it is both a good
and safe environment for my dad's care and happiness.

The manager at this care home is amazing, she goes above and beyond, as does her staff to ensure the residents and their families are happy and that their home is a comfortable, friendly, and safe place to be. I have a deep respect for all of the carers here who all work hard and sometimes in difficult
circumstances. The food always looks and smells good, there are always lovely cakes, etc. available for all which is a nice touch. The rooms and communal areas are always clean and welcoming.

What an amazing care home. Mum has dementia and was well cared for here. The staff were very friendly and patient with her. The time Mum spent for respite she felt safe and comfortable at Clara Court, they had so much patience with her which is hard to find. Would highly recommend Clara Court, if you’ve
not used them before you won’t be disappointed.

When I go out with my daughter I usually see a carer with a lovely smile on my way down to the first door and there going out or returning I am greeted with great kindness whatever the weather - makes such a difference. I am delighted that the manager has allowed me to have some of my own paintings
displayed on my walls and some of my favourite books. This I feel is a very well-run and caring home and all who work at Clara Court are happy being there. I love garden wildlife, birds and wild flowers and I am most fortunate to e able to see the birds from my window and the flowers when I go for a walk in my chair or with my frame. Thank you Clara Court.

My father arrived at Clara Court Care Home on the 7th of March straight from hospital and, within a few days, we saw such a vast improvement in Dad. The caring team has been wonderful in helping Dad settle into his new environment. He is such a happy man and at 102, that's all we can ask for. The team
at Clara Court will always have my gratitude for the superb care they give my dad.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Clara Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.846 for Clara Court is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.846
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Clara Court is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I’ve been at Clara Court since 2009, when I joined the team as a care assistant. I joined because Care UK has a clear vision for older people’s care which I believe in. I’m also passionate about providing high quality care and I want to make a difference to the lives of the people we care for.


Another rewarding part of my role is empowering colleagues to ensure that residents live their lives in the way they want. I enjoy engaging and motivating colleagues and seeing them develop and succeed.


Each day is different in this role. I enjoy having the chance to continue learning and developing my skills, and I love spending time with residents, supporting them to continue to live happy and fulfilling lives.
