I am cared for extremely well. All the staff are kind, friendly and make me feel very special. I have a small appetite but enjoy all of the meals. Unable to walk I prefer to spend a lot of time in my room, when I do join in the activities they are varied fun and well planned. My care home is very clean and beautifully warm. My bed is very cosy. My clothes are washed and ironed very well and I always feel smart. Everyone treats me with respect ans I am always encouraged to love my life to the fullest. I am very happy.

My aunt has been a resident for over five years and many of the staff are still there from the day she arrived. In fact she is happier with their company than mine at times.
My mother was hospitalised after a stroke and returned to the care home for palliative care. She has progressed very well, now able to eat unaided and walk with help of a frame.

I feel as though I have had a huge weight lifted from me since my mum came to Clara Court. From the moment I came to visit the care and attention shown to me as a concerned daughter for my wonderful 93 year old mum has been beyond my wildest expectations. Without fault the attention to detail and love for her is everything I could ask for

Most impressive of all is the relationship staff members foster with the residents. We are incredibly grateful to all the wonderful staff who've treated my mother-in-law like their own family. Their compassion and professionalism is humbling.

A first appearance the home is very clean and tidy. Excellent facilities and the gardens very smart. The staff there are very good with the residents, as a result our dad is a lot happier and content since he has arrived here in December. The activities here help him keep motivated which is very good for him. So on the whole an excellent care home. Like one big family, he's very happy now and we are too.
My dad was bed-bound for almost a year. Since coming here he has become active again. He takes part in the activities every day. Food is provided regularly and he is eating well now.

My dad was bed-bound for almost a year. Since coming here he has become active again. He takes part in the activities every day. Food is provided regularly and he is eating well now. There is a good atmosphere in this home. The carers are fantastic, they really are. It is very clean, my dad has a wash everyday and a fresh change of clothes thanks to the staff. He is smiling as lot too. I am very happy he is here.

My daughter is in Clara Court because she suffers from bad MS which affects her physically and has reduced her cognitive abilities. Through she is only 44, in many ways she is like a woman in her 70's. The staff treat her exceptionally well and we regard them as friends, not just professional carers. Facilities are good, everything is clean and there are regular social activities to keep her interested. In a previous home she tended to wander off and was at risk. There security is good but best of all she is settled.

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.
