If Mum had ever had to go in permanently I would choose this home and recommend to anyone. Also future respite. Mum returned happy. This is her second visit.
Love this care home.

From the initial assessment at home for my partner, the respect and care has been second to none. Whenever making a call or visiting there is always a welcoming voice. The manager is always open to conversation as are all the staff. Now having Covid test before visits, they are managed by the helpful and very friendly receptionist, who goes out of her way to help both residents and relatives. Noticeable when she's away.
The staff go above and beyond to help with your needs. Mum genuinely looks content and well.

My mum has been at Clara Court since leaving the hospital. The manager and staff have made my mum and myself very welcome, they have dealt with us both very professionally and very caringly, all our anxieties have been resolved and my mum appears very happy at Clara Court. Special thanks to one member of the admin team who is an asset to the home. Well done Clara Court.

The manager and her amazing team have supported mum and the family with kindness through a challenging time. Mum has now been in Clara Court for a few weeks and with her mid-stage Alzheimer’s the team have done an outstanding job in supporting and settling her in. They have gone to great lengths to make the garden visits work well for everyone. We are so pleased we were lucky enough to find such an outstanding home for mum. These carers are stars.
I visited unannounced to check suitability for my Mum. Everyone was in a meeting but still took me to see a respite room. All were very pleasant and the aura of Clara Court was good.

I would highly recommend Clara Court to anyone, and I would like to thank the staff who are amazing.
An emergency admission was arranged for my mother in law. Everybody was very helpful and efficient and showed great kindness towards the whole family. They were understanding and really accommodating regarding the family needs. Would recommend them to anybody.

After an initial stay for respite care, my mum became a permanent resident in April 2019. She has a lovely big room which is light and airy - and ensuite, and a number of great activities are hosted onsite that she can join in with if she wishes to. The staff are always welcoming (we visit regularly and are always offered refreshments) and we couldn't be happier with how Mum is cared for.
The only thing Mum mentioned (in a negative way) was the fact she said it was 'always cold' and she cannot chew because she has no bottom dentures since her stroke and she found the food hard.

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review, we were so happy to see your excellent scores for the home in every category. I understand you have spoken to the home manager at Clara Court in regards to the food in the home which is made daily by our chef-led team. All our menus are planned with feedback from residents with plenty of choice and variety every day and we will, of course, ensure that, when your mother joins us for her next stay, we have included some her favourites on the menu. We have also spoken with the chef who will prepare ingredients so they are served softer and are easier for her to eat and enjoy. Thank you again for your feedback, and please do let us know if we can help in any other way now or in the future.

Since moving into Clara Court in December, my mother has received excellent care. The staff take time to motivate and encourage her and tempt her with tasty food, really important as she was so reluctant to eat previously. The staff keep me updated between visits which is incredibly reassuring and have worked with my brother and I to find the best way to support my mother's needs. Mum's room is comfortable, cosy and very clean and the whole home is a lovely, safe and stimulating environment.
We have found Clara Court to be an inviting and friendly, professionally run care home. Even on our first visit, they went the extra mile to answer all our questions, concerns and worries.

My Grandmother is like a new person since moving into Clara Court. They call it the 'Clara Magic' and it has certainly worked - Granny has a new lease of life!
Hair and nails done, engaging in activities (including Zumba!), eating well and motoring around as if she has had a new set of batteries fitted.
This is an incredibly well run and managed care home with a genuine ethos of care and respect that translates to all staff within the home. Granny says it is better 'than a hotel' and has 'never felt so well looked after'. The room and building are exceptionally clean and well looked after and there are no complaints about the food, or actually anything!!
Most importantly Granny says she is feeling 'very happy' and wants to stay permanently. It's so reassuring to know that she is somewhere that looks after her so well and treats her as they would their own family.
Thank you so much to all the staff, I cannot recommend this home enough.
Very caring and well organised care home. Staff are enthusiastic and attentive. Lots of activities. Plenty of extra safety tools available. The Manager is exceptional. I have no concerns about my Mother in Law's care.

I am very impressed by the staff and facilities at this home. All staff I have come across including the manager, admin, carers, chef and maintenance guy - have all been lovely. Helpful, caring and effective. They work well as a team and appear to be very dedicated. There seems to be a low turn over of staff. The care staff manage with dementia residents very well indeed.
The manager knows everyone, including visitors and is very involved in the care of residents.
Rooms are a good size with good furniture. Visitors are welcome any time and are made to feel 'at home' with a cup of tea etc. The garden is a good, safe place for those on the ground floor. The meals menu is interesting, especially at lunchtime - and there are numerous snacks provided during the day.
There is a good daily programme of activities for those able to participate.
I find the manager to be very helpful, clear and efficient. She always listens to questions and researches her answers before always getting back to you.

This was the second respite care for my wife. The team worked so hard so that they could maintain a good standard of care. She was treated with respect and encouraged to join the activities. I phoned daily and felt comfortable that my wife was well cared for. They were all very familiar with her care plan and managed to give me relevant information. My wife was visited by friends and ex-colleagues. They all confirmed that the environment was relaxed and the staff was welcoming. They were pleased that she had adapted very well. Finally, I would like to comment that the leadership is the contributing factor to its success.
Very pleasant, staff are excellent and caring.

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.
