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.

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.
Many Thanks, Clara Court team
All staff are very caring. Immediate attention when required.

My mother has been at Clare Court for 3.5 years. She settled quickly that's to the care and professionalism of the management and team. She is happy and very well looked after. I have no hesitation in recommending Clara Court for the excellent care they give.

My husband spent 12 days here as a respite resident. He was so well cared for and all staff were so kind and engaged with him. My husband has dementia. When I collected him he said he enjoyed 'his holiday' and would like to come again! A really positive experience.

My mum was a resident at Clara Court Care Home for over four years. It is a wonderful home. Quiet, peaceful, a lovely garden for residents to enjoy and plenty of in-house activities. Mum had a lovely room which looked out onto the garden. Staff are so caring. They treated Mum with the utmost dignity and respect, getting to know and understand her during the time she was there. We were always greeted by our first names when we visited and were always given as much time as we needed to talk about concerns or discuss Mum's condition. Additionally, we were always contacted if Mum was unwell or needed specific care or attention. We could not have asked for more and would recommend Clara Court to anyone looking for a safe and secure environment for an elderly loved one. Clara Court is a very well-run care home, fully deserving of its 'outstanding' CQC rating.
The staff always went above and beyond to help both my mother and us as a family.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you.

Mum enjoyed mealtimes, especially the puddings! The food was varied and of good quality.
I was always made to feel part of the Clara Court family and there was genuine sadness and great sense of loss amongst everyone when my mother passed away.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Clara Court to anyone looking for a home for an elderly relative, especially if they have dementia. Staff are highly experienced in dealing with this disease and always treat residents with the utmost dignity and respect.
My wife and I attended a Jubilee party at Clara Court Care Home and had a lovely afternoon. The staff were happy and attentive to residents and families. There was lots of food and entertainment, such as a singer and quiz and a petting zoo. Please pass our thanks on to all staff.

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.
